Inheriting all of God’s Promises

October 13, 2024 • Ps. Justin Spina

Romans 4:13-14 NIV It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. 14 For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless Key #1 - KNOW THEM Genesis 17:1-4 NLT When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life. 2 I will make a covenant with you, by which I will guarantee to give you countless descendants.” At this, Abram fell face down on the ground. Then God said to him, 4 “This is my covenant with you: I will make you the father of a multitude of nations! Genesis 17:5 NLT What’s more, I am changing your name. It will no longer be Abram. Instead, you will be called Abraham, for you are the father of many nations. Genesis 18:10-12 NIV Then the LORD said, “I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife will have a son.” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance to the tent, which was behind him. Abraham and Sarah were already old and well advanced in years, and Sarah was far past the age of childbearing. So Sarah laughed to herself as she thought, “After I am worn out and old, and my master is old, will I now have the pleasure of having a child?” Genesis 18:13-14 NIV Then the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Will I really have a child, now that I am old?’ Is anything too hard for the LORD? I WILL return to you at the appointed time next year and Sarah WILL have a son.” Genesis 18:15 NIV Sarah was afraid, so she lied and said, “I did not laugh.” But he said, “Yes, you did laugh.” Hebrews 11:11 “By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised..” Key #2 - TEST THEM Genesis 22:5 NIV He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.” Key #3 - TRUST THEM 1 Thessalonians 5:24 NLV The One Who called you is faithful and will do what He promised. Hebrews 11:8 TLB Abraham trusted God, and when God told him to leave home and go far away to another land that he promised to give him, Abraham obeyed. Away he went, not even knowing where he was going.

Say Yes to the Promise

October 27, 2024 • Ps. Justin Spina

2 Corinthians 1:20-22 MSG Whatever God has promised gets stamped with the Yes of Jesus. In him, this is what we preach and pray, the great Amen, God’s Yes and our Yes together, gloriously evident. God affirms us, making us a sure thing in Christ, putting his Yes within us. By his Spirit he has stamped us with his eternal pledge—a sure beginning of what he is destined to complete. Key #1 - God has a PROMISE even in your PRISON Jeremiah 32:6-9 NLT At that time the Lord sent me a message. He said, 7 “Your cousin Hanamel son of Shallum will come and say to you, ‘Buy my field at Anathoth. By law you have the right to buy it before it is offered to anyone else.’” 8 Then, just as the Lord had said he would, my cousin Hanamel came and visited me in the prison. He said, “Please buy my field at Anathoth in the land of Benjamin. By law you have the right to buy it before it is offered to anyone else, so buy it for yourself.” Then I knew that the message I had heard was from the Lord. 9 So I bought the field at Anathoth, paying Hanamel seventeen pieces of silver for it. Jeremiah 32:15 NLT “For this is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘Someday people will again own property here in this land and will buy and sell houses and vineyards and fields.’” Key #2 - There is still More ground to be taken Joshua 13:1 NLT When Joshua was an old man, the Lord said to him, “You are growing old, and much land remains to be conquered. Matthew 9:29 NIV “According to your faith let it be done to you” Key #3 - It’s time to say YES Again! Galatians 6:9 NLT So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
