THE ESSENCE OF A PATRIARCH |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
| THE GOAL OF EVERY MAN IS TO BE A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST, WHO WILL, BY HIS FAITHFULNESS TO THAT GOAL, BECOME A PATRIARCH. |
| |
| |
A PATRIARCH CAN BE CHARACTERIZED BY AT LEAST THREE OF THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS:
His walk by faith, not by sight
His decision to speak with power
His impact on future generations
-
Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jacob's 12 sons were the first patriarchs mentioned in scripture, Acts 7:8.
-
Read Genesis 12:1-3; 17:1-14 and particularly focus in on Genesis 17:4-7. What do you think is the significance and purpose of the first patriarchs?
"I will establish my covenant as an everlasting covenant between me and you and your descendants after you for the generations to come, to be your God and the God of your descendants after you." Genesis 17:7 |
