In this sermon, we explore the life of Abraham, recognizing that like him, we often begin our spiritual journey with stumbles and uncertainties. We see how God's grace intervenes in our failures, restoring us and calling us back to our first love. As we learn from Abraham's need to set healthy boundaries with Lot, we understand the importance of doing the same in our relationships to foster peace and growth. Despite our shortcomings, we are reminded that God continually chooses us, reaffirming His promises and love. We are encouraged to embrace new seasons of growth by returning to the practices that once ignited our passion for God, trusting in His unwavering grace and mercy.

In today’s sermon, we begin a new series on the life of Abraham, recognizing him as the father of faith and the enduring blessing he represents for all of us. We are reminded that God's promises often require us to separate from our past, just as Abraham was called to leave his home in Ur, a city immersed in idol worship. Through Abraham's story, we reflect on the impact of our families on our lives and acknowledge our ability to change our "normal" through God's power. We are encouraged to confront and unlearn unhealthy patterns. Finally, we are reassured that while fear can lead us astray, God's mercy and second chances are always available, inviting us to grow through our mistakes.

In this message, we explore the concept of meekness through the example of Jesus Christ. Jesus, while fully God, took on human form and became a servant, demonstrating ultimate meekness. Meekness is not weakness but "strength under control." We examine biblical examples of meekness through Abraham, Joseph, and Moses, who had power but chose humility and restraint. True meekness is revealed when we have the power to retaliate but choose not to. We are encouraged to learn from Jesus' example of meekness, with the promise that by doing so, we will find rest for our souls.
