Not Home Yet - Genesis 23

Описание: This Sunday, join us as Abraham takes possession of a small part of the promised land in Genesis 23. Abraham’s story of buying a burial plot for Sarah may seem like a small real estate transaction, but it is a powerful picture of living as pilgrims in a world that is not yet our home. We’ll see how Abraham’s faith in God’s land promise shaped his actions. Specifically, we will see how he lived between the promise and the possession of the land, and how his hope in God’s faithfulness points us to Christ, who has secured for us an eternal home through the cross. Come and be encouraged to live as Abraham lived—as a pilgrim who walks by faith, rests in God’s assurance, and keeps his eyes on the heavenly city that awaits all those in Christ. Soli Deo Gloria!

Preparation Questions: Genesis 23

1. In what ways do you live as a pilgrim in this world rather than as a settler? What changes might you need to make?

2. How well does your life reflect the future promises you enjoy in Christ? Do others see your faith in those promises through the choices you make?

3. Abraham acted on God’s promises even when they were not yet fully realized. What steps of faith might God be calling you to take this week?

4. How should your assurance that Christ has secured your eternal home change the way you view your possessions, relationships, and responsibilities?
