“We are brothers” Genesis 13:1-12

We Are Brothers Abraham’s willingness to yield His view of the land – Hebrews 11:13-16 His view of his nephew – Genesis 14:12-16 Heb 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off were assured of them, embraced them and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. 14 For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland.15 And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.

We Are Still Brothers Paul’s Admonition to Corinth I Corinthians 6:1-8 No one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. 1 Thessalonians 4:6

Learning to Yield Like Abraham Learning to sacrifice Learning to value others above self

Learning to Sacrifice Seeing possessions as trivial Matthew 6:19-25 Looking for ways to serve others Romans 12:1 Sacrifice is NOT natural, it must be learned Ro 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.

Learning to Value Others Learning to esteem others Philippians 2:1-13 Learning not to see surrender as weak Romans 15:1 Desiring peace above all things Romans 14:14-19 Ro 15:1 We then who are strong ought to bear with the scruples of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, leading to edification.

We Are Brothers At the heart of Abraham’s plea: Brothers should not fight A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity. Proverbs 17:17

Being Brothers "For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.“ Matthew 12:50 "You are My friends if you do whatever I command you” John 15:14

Being Brothers "He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned”. Mark 16:16
