Image by: stlyouth

Introduction

A nation’s greatness is not dependent on it’s history; background or accomplishments. It is not based on the natural wealth, resources, economic prosperity, population, military strength, the capacity of it’s industry or agriculture, education system, health services, system of governance or it’s leaders.

The Bible declares the 3 most important factors that determine a “Great Nation”. In Deuteronomy 4:6-8 God declares these principals that made Israel a great Nation.

Text: 2 Kings 4:8-37

Introduction

A. This account of the Shunammite’s son is one which teaches us about faith.

B. The story shows us something about what faith is and how it works?

C. Actually the story doesn’t speak of her faith directly, but the events in the passage demonstrates it (2 Kings 4:8-10).

D. It is more important to demonstrate our faith than to talk about it (James 2:26).

E. The author recognizes her as a “great” woman, not only because she came from a prominent family, but because of her faith also (2 Kings 4:8).

F. However there are two things God wants to see taking place in our faith.

i. He wants our faith to grow

ii. He puts our faith in to test so that our faith becomes stronger

G. The Shunammite woman learned these lessons of faith God wants us to learn them too. Click here to read the rest of, Sermon: The faith of a Shunammite woman 2 Kings 4:8-37

Text: Genesis 33:-18

Introduction

The two boys in our story today came from a godly home, but a dysfunctional home nonetheless.  It may seem strange that a godly home could be dysfunctional but . . .  Jacob and Esau had the deck stacked against them by their own parents.  Isaac favored Esau, his rugged outdoors man, while Rachel preferred gentle Jacob, and neither hesitated to let their feelings show.
