SACRED STORIES
“Jesus Is Calling You!”
Pastor Doug Heisel – June 18, 2023
Hebrews 11:8 — By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.
Genesis 12:1-4 — The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” So Abram went, as the LORD had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran.
Jesus will TAKE you to places you’d otherwise not go.
The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.Jesus will GROW you into someone you’d otherwise not become.
“I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you;Jesus will enable you to ACCOMPLISH things you’d otherwise not do.
…and you will be a blessing.
A word of caution: You will be tempted to SETTLE for less than fully following the LORDSHIP of Jesus.
Genesis 11:31-32 — Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot, son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to Harran, they settled there. Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Harran.
