How are you scattering seed? These cards? Our tracts? Conversations? Find a way! And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? (Rom. 10:14)

Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Col. 3:2-4 NKJV

Abraham & Isaac: God said it again Gen. 22:15-18 Kingdom Sin and death Love Abraham: the father of all those who believe (Rom. 4:11)

Prophecy of kingdom God said it again And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever. (Dan. 2:44 NKJV) The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people. (Gen. 49:10 NKJV) 1. King and kingdom in prophecy A. This is the same promise as was made to Abraham: this kingdom is the blessing for all nations. B. God gave these prophecies by using a variety of terms: king (Gen. 49:10; 2 Sam. 7:13; Ps. 2, 89; Is. 2:2-3; 49:8), lamb (Passover, Leviticus), and prophet (Deut. 18:15-18). C. Through Daniel, God makes one of the most plain predictions of the kingdom Dan. 2:44 (2:38; 5:31; 8:20-21) D. Col. 1:13-14, 18 1. God declares that the kingdom is here and belongs to His Son. 2. Understanding the kingdom (the saved group) prepares us to teach.

Sin and Death Gen. 2:17 Leviticus Ezek. 18:20 Rom. 6:23 A. The altar, sheep, and offerings in Genesis 22 shows that Abraham and Isaac knew about sin and death. B. A message repeated Gen. 2:17; Leviticus (blood of the sin offering); Ezek. 18:20; Rom. 6:23.While sin and death are not our favorite things to hear, where else do we hear of them together? C. What has God done to keep it in our memory and vocabulary? D. When I am tempted to minimize my sin, I need to hear God’s message again. God said it again
