Responding to God

Genesis 18:22-33

October 17, 2021 • Dr. Mark Kemp • Genesis 18:22–33

This week we'll finish our series on Being God's Friend. The message Sunday is "Responding to God" from Genesis 18:22-33. This passage contains the first intercessory prayer in the Bible. There is much to learn from Abraham's prayer but we will primarily focus on the fact that Abraham prayed in response to God. God spoke and Abraham responded. It was a dynamic conversation. We too can learn to pray in conversation with God as we listen first and then speak in response to His Word.

Hearing God

We will continue the Being a Friend of God series this Sunday with a message about "Hearing God" from Genesis 18:9-22. God is a God who speaks to reveal who He is, His ways, and His plans. Abraham, God's friend, learned to listen attentively to God. While Abraham's relationship with God was unique, God still speaks to us today and we grow in our friendship with Him as we learn to listen.
