1.The Lord appeared to him [Abraham] by the oak trees of Mamre [Hebron]; he [Abraham] was sitting at the entrance of the tent as the day grew hot. 2. Looking up, he [Abraham] saw three men standing near him. As soon as he saw them, he ran from the entrance of the tent to greet them and, bowing to the ground, 3. he said, “Adonai , if it please you, do not go on past your servant. 4. Let a little water be brought; bathe your feet and recline under the tree. 5. And let me fetch you a morsel of bread that you may refresh yourselves; then go on…” To summarize the middle of this story: vv. 6-8 describe Abraham busying himself to prepare food for his guests; vv. 9-12 deal with the prophecy of Sarah having a child a year later; in vv. 13 and 14 God reacts to Sarah’s response to the prophecy. Coming to the part of the story that we will look at more carefully, v. 16 describes how 2 of the 3 guests head off to Sodom (to rescue Lot, Abraham’s nephew, and his family; Gen. 19:1-26). In verses 17-21, God wonders whether He should tell Abraham that He is about to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah. Verse 22 then reads: “The men [guests] went on from there to Sodom, while Abraham remained standing before the Lord.” This verse partially recapitulates verse 16, with the adding that after the 2 other “men” (angels[1]) headed off to Sodom, Abraham was left standing before God.
This one really stepped on my toes...I can't tell you how much I needed to hear this, especially in trusting God's promises in my own life.
35:09 , Speaks volumes to how not being ok, is possible to overcome. Really rang true the first time i heard this sermon. Really powerful one today.
And then again at 36:10 . Great sermon. It hard to not get emotional while listening to this one.
So..Much Freedom in Jesus
BEAUTIFUL 🔥💯🔥
How powerful was your message! ❤❤❤
I have to hand it to Mark, he's a really good preacher.
I really get a lot out of Marks messages, thank you.
Excellent question. Why should we trust the word of a mass murderer? The simple answer is, we shouldn't.
God bless you and I pray that God Himself answer to you🙏🏽
