Genesis 12:1
1.1K31:45AbramGEN 12:12CO 3:16In this sermon, the speaker begins by referencing 2 Corinthians 4:6, which speaks about God shining His light in our hearts to reveal the knowledge of His glory. The speaker then recalls the concept of devotion and the example of the Nazarite, whose compulsions always came from before him. The sermon also mentions the story of Abraham and how he valued the word of God over worldly promises. The speaker emphasizes the idea that when glory comes in, something else must be displaced, as seen in the construction of the tabernacle and the filling of the tabernacle with the glory of the Lord.
The Nazarite
1.0K37:36NazariteGEN 49:10LEV 3:1NUM 6:1JDG 8:22JHN 15:1ACT 2:13EPH 5:18In this sermon, the preacher discusses the concept of leadership and kingship. He uses the story of the vine, the olive tree, and the bramble from the book of Judges to illustrate different attitudes towards leadership. The vine and the olive tree decline the offer to be king because they are too busy serving and producing fruit. However, the bramble, which is not productive, eagerly accepts the offer. The preacher then relates this story to the spiritual application of seeking a leader and emphasizes the importance of finding inspiration and guidance from Christ, who is referred to as the true vine.
