Ecclesiastes 12:11
Message Review
Key thoughts from this past week's message:
· We started a series on “Starting over in a new land” and looked at Abraham’s journey.
· Abraham went to a new land with a promise from God – God would bless him; Abraham would be a great blessing to others, and all nations would be blessed through him.
· Abraham spent his time preparing the land and nations to receive this blessing.
He built altars (places where God showed up).
He dug wells (places of blessing for the land).
He prayed over the land and people.
Genesis 12:1-7 NIV
Hebrews 11:8-16 NIV
Genesis 26:18 NIV
Questions to consider
Did I come like Abraham – God promised a destiny for me in this land?
Has anything sidetracked my commitment to release blessings like Abraham did to this land?
Are there wells to be dug, altars to be built, prayers to be released?
This week I will focus on doing…
