Seven Dispensations - The Friend of God

Seven Dispensations - The Friend of God | Pastor Jayson Hill Wednesday Prayer & Mid-Week Service · Genesis 12:1-4 · Faith Baptist Church, Williston, Florida From Genesis 12 and 18: God spoke to Abram, Abraham believed His word and entertained strangers, and he was called the friend of God. In this message: • The word of God is what separated Abram from the idolaters around him (Genesis 12:1-4) • Idols are fashioned by men's hands and cannot speak; the Lord is the true God, the living God (Jeremiah 10:1-14) • Idolatry today: inventing things about God that He has not revealed in His word • Born again by the word of God (1 Peter 1:22-23) • The gospel came in power and in much assurance; the words of men have no power (1 Thessalonians 1:5; 2:13) • "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers" (Hebrews 13:1-3) • Abraham showed hospitality to strangers, and it was the Lord (Genesis 18:1-15) • God loves the stranger and the fatherless, and His people are to love them too (Deuteronomy 10:17-22) • Abraham believed God and was called the friend of God (James 2:23; 1 John 4:20) Scripture: Genesis 12:1-4 · Jeremiah 10:1-14 · 1 Peter 1:22-23 · 1 Thessalonians 1:5 · 1 Thessalonians 2:13 · Hebrews 13:1-3 · Genesis 18:1-15 · Deuteronomy 10:17-22 · James 2:23 · 1 John 4:20 · Matthew 25 Also in this service: Hymns 87 (Joy to the World), 393 (Take My Life and Let It Be) and 129 (At the Cross), a report from gospel outreach in Salt Lake City, and congregational prayer for the church family and for those who received the gospel at recent outreach events.
