Our Abraham series continues. This episode covers the life of Abraham. Now age 100. We continue on the TIMELINE FOR ABRAM (ABRAHAM), the man, the places he moved to and why, what happened when he got there, the people he interacted with, and the results of those interactions. Abraham is revered by many of the world's religions and is known to Christians as the "Father of Faith." We continue our study on Abraham. Abraham and Sarah received their promised son. In this episode, we begin our sidebar in the book of Romans to see precisely how they did it using faith—The principles of not focusing on the present circumstances and focusing on your statement of faith and worshiping God. Romans 4:19-20. Incorporating these principles to get what you want from God, you know that promise, is essential. First, you need to understand what they are. As leaders in the church, we have failed to teach God's revealed word. We teach the traditions and not revelation, simply because we have become lazy and too busy to seek revelation from the Holy Spirit. The bible tells us that he will show us all things. I invite you to come and partake of revelation from the Holy Spirit taken from the life of Abraham, the father of faith. Principle of not focusing on the present circumstances and focusing on your statement of faith and worshiping God. Romans 4:19-20.Today I talk about Offense and what it really means and how to conquer it. The Greek word translated offenses is skandalon. It means a trap stick (a bent sapling), used to spring a snare.
In Mathew 15 we see that the church can be offended by the word of God. Jesus said that offence must come but how we respond to it makes the difference. Mt. 18:7 “Woe to the world because of offenses! For offenses must come, but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!”
Matthew 15:12 “Then came his disciples, and said unto him, knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this saying?”
Matthew 15: 21-28 21 Then Jesus went thence, and departed into the coasts of Tyre and Sidon. 22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. 23 But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.
24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 25 Then came she and worshiped him, saying, Lord, help me.
26 But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27 And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.
28 Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
