00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.200
 My name is Matthew Capone, and I'm one of the pastors here at Cheyenne Mountain Presbyterian Church, and it's my joy to bring God's word to you today.

00:00:10.640 --> 00:00:23.820
 A special welcome if you're new or visiting with us. We're glad that you're here, and we're glad that you're here not because we're trying to fill seats, but because we're following Jesus together as one community.

00:00:23.820 --> 00:00:39.259
 And as we follow Jesus together, we become convinced that there's no one so good, they don't need God's grace, and no one so bad that they can't have it, which is why we come back week after week to hear what God has to say to us in his word.

00:00:39.900 --> 00:00:48.240
 This morning, we're continuing our series in the book of Genesis. Genesis is the very first book in the Bible, so it's easy to find.

00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:56.079
 And it tells the story of the origin of the world and also the origin of Israel, God's people, beginning with Abraham.

00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:05.040
 We're actually not going to cover the entire book of Genesis. We are just focusing on the story of Abraham in Genesis 11 through 25.

00:01:05.680 --> 00:01:10.920
 And the reason we're focusing in on that is to prepare us to return to our series in the book of Romans.

00:01:11.079 --> 00:01:16.859
 We're going to jump back in in the fall in Romans chapter 4, which talks about Abraham.

00:01:16.859 --> 00:01:19.400
 So this is all prep right now.

00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:25.140
 Not only does it prepare us for Romans, Abraham's story also helps us ask the question,

00:01:25.700 --> 00:01:29.760
 what does it look like to follow God in faith?

00:01:31.140 --> 00:01:36.099
 Last week, we saw that Abraham and his nephew Lot had to separate.

00:01:36.400 --> 00:01:37.539
 This is chapter 13.

00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:42.239
 They had both become so wealthy that the land could not support both of them.

00:01:42.299 --> 00:01:44.960
 They didn't have enough water, enough grass.

00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:47.979
 And so they have to go to different pieces of land.

00:01:48.479 --> 00:01:49.659
 Lot picks first.

00:01:50.139 --> 00:01:55.859
 And you'll remember he picks the very best piece of land with one exception.

00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:02.659
 He picks apart a parcel of land right next to Sodom, a place of great sin.

00:02:02.659 --> 00:02:09.719
 And so we saw Lot is willing to cozy up to wickedness for the sake of comfort.

00:02:10.620 --> 00:02:17.780
 He gives in to the temptation to put the good life as first and more important than the kingdom.

00:02:18.620 --> 00:02:23.659
 This week, we're going to see very quickly Lot suffering because of his poor choice.

00:02:23.659 --> 00:02:31.159
 And so it allows us to see how God responds to his people in their foolishness.

00:02:32.180 --> 00:02:36.579
 How God responds to his people in their foolishness.

00:02:37.120 --> 00:02:41.180
 That's with that that I invite you to turn with me to Genesis chapter 14.

00:02:41.759 --> 00:02:43.199
 You can turn in your Bible.

00:02:43.919 --> 00:02:45.400
 You can turn on your phone.

00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:47.479
 You can turn in your worship guide.

00:02:47.479 --> 00:02:50.919
 No matter where you turn, remember that this is God's word.

00:02:51.659 --> 00:02:56.259
 Proverbs chapter 30 verse 5 tells us every word of God proves true.

00:02:56.979 --> 00:03:00.879
 He is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

00:03:01.699 --> 00:03:05.879
 And so that's why we read now Genesis 14 starting at verse 1.

00:03:05.879 --> 00:03:33.340
 Verse 4.

00:03:33.340 --> 00:03:38.719
 12 years they had served Chederleomer, but in the 13th year they rebelled.

00:03:39.539 --> 00:03:46.580
 In the 14th year, Chederleomer and the kings who were with him came and defeated the Rephaim and Ashtaroth Karnam,

00:03:47.140 --> 00:03:50.539
 the Zuzim and Ham, the Emim and Shave Kiriathim,

00:03:50.980 --> 00:03:56.140
 and the Horites and their hill country of Seir as far as El Perrin on the border of the wilderness.

00:03:56.139 --> 00:04:00.859
 Then they turned back and came to An-Mishpat, that is Kadesh,

00:04:01.139 --> 00:04:07.779
 and defeated all the country of the Amalekites and also the Amorites who were dwelling in Hazazon Tamar.

00:04:08.419 --> 00:04:09.079
 Verse 8.

00:04:09.080 --> 00:04:14.480
 Then the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Adma, the king of Zebuam,

00:04:14.660 --> 00:04:17.160
 and the king of Bela, that is Zoar, went out,

00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:21.580
 and they joined battle in the valley of Siddam with Chederleomer king of Elam,

00:04:21.980 --> 00:04:24.540
 Tidal king of Goyim, Amraphel king of Shinar,

00:04:25.100 --> 00:04:29.759
 and Ariok king of Elessar, four kings against five.

00:04:30.540 --> 00:04:33.460
 Now the valley of Siddam was full of bitumen pits,

00:04:33.900 --> 00:04:36.319
 and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled.

00:04:36.319 --> 00:04:40.759
 Some fell into them, and the rest fled to the hill country.

00:04:41.579 --> 00:04:44.879
 So the enemy took all the possessions of Sodom and Gomorrah

00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:47.759
 and all their provisions and went their way.

00:04:48.740 --> 00:04:52.259
 They also took Lot, the son of Abram's brother,

00:04:52.719 --> 00:04:57.139
 who was dwelling in Sodom, and his possessions, and went their way.

00:04:58.159 --> 00:05:01.539
 Then one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew,

00:05:01.540 --> 00:05:07.080
 who was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and of Aner.

00:05:07.680 --> 00:05:09.500
 These were allies of Abram.

00:05:10.100 --> 00:05:13.360
 When Abram heard that his kinsmen had been taken captive,

00:05:13.900 --> 00:05:19.740
 he led forth his trained men, born in his house, 318 of them,

00:05:20.280 --> 00:05:22.920
 and he went in pursuit as far as Dan.

00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:26.420
 And he divided his forces against them by night,

00:05:26.840 --> 00:05:29.660
 he and his servants, and defeated them,

00:05:29.879 --> 00:05:32.720
 and pursued them to Hobah, north of Damascus.

00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:35.759
 Then he brought back all the possessions,

00:05:36.220 --> 00:05:39.879
 and also brought back his kinsmen Lot with his possessions,

00:05:40.520 --> 00:05:42.160
 and the women and the people.

00:05:43.280 --> 00:05:47.160
 I invite you to pray with me as we come to this portion of God's Word.

00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:52.640
 Our Father in Heaven, we do thank you for your Word

00:05:52.640 --> 00:05:55.120
 that you've given to us as a great gift,

00:05:55.640 --> 00:05:59.900
 that we would know and learn how to walk in this world,

00:05:59.960 --> 00:06:02.320
 and most of all, we would know about your mercy,

00:06:02.520 --> 00:06:05.400
 and your salvation, and grace in Jesus Christ.

00:06:06.360 --> 00:06:07.720
 We ask that you would help us,

00:06:07.800 --> 00:06:10.180
 that you would help us to see, and understand,

00:06:11.200 --> 00:06:12.440
 and believe in your Word,

00:06:13.180 --> 00:06:15.680
 that you would use it to grow our love, and affection,

00:06:15.680 --> 00:06:18.740
 and reverence, and awe, and obedience to Jesus Christ.

00:06:19.379 --> 00:06:21.639
 And we ask all of these things in his mighty name.

00:06:22.319 --> 00:06:22.540
 Amen.

00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:30.780
 In December of 2003,

00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:35.639
 a man named Nick Berg decided to leave his hometown

00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:38.120
 of Westchester, Pennsylvania,

00:06:38.379 --> 00:06:39.780
 which is right outside of Philly,

00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:44.139
 and he left it for the country of Iraq.

00:06:44.139 --> 00:06:46.339
 He made this decision.

00:06:46.539 --> 00:06:48.579
 It had taken Nick a while to figure out

00:06:48.579 --> 00:06:50.279
 what he wanted to do with his life,

00:06:50.479 --> 00:06:53.719
 but he settled on starting a company

00:06:53.719 --> 00:06:56.779
 that would install and repair radio towers.

00:06:57.419 --> 00:06:59.120
 He decided that was going to be his life's work.

00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:00.620
 And you may remember,

00:07:00.740 --> 00:07:04.379
 December of 2003 was right after the fall of Saddam Hussein.

00:07:05.060 --> 00:07:07.939
 And so he sees this incredible business opportunity.

00:07:08.599 --> 00:07:09.039
 Guess what?

00:07:09.099 --> 00:07:11.099
 Their infrastructure's been destroyed,

00:07:11.100 --> 00:07:13.580
 and I'm going to be the one to come in

00:07:13.580 --> 00:07:15.540
 and save the day and make all the money.

00:07:16.340 --> 00:07:20.180
 I'll repair radio towers that have been hurt, injured.

00:07:20.640 --> 00:07:22.040
 I'll install new ones.

00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.180
 Everything will be great.

00:07:25.060 --> 00:07:27.140
 Nick's friends and family were appalled,

00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:32.439
 and they warned him, urged him not to go.

00:07:33.580 --> 00:07:36.780
 Nick, however, saw only the benefits

00:07:36.779 --> 00:07:39.559
 and none of the dangers.

00:07:40.739 --> 00:07:42.019
 And so seeing only benefits,

00:07:42.119 --> 00:07:45.199
 he separates himself from the land

00:07:45.199 --> 00:07:48.479
 and the protection of the United States.

00:07:49.779 --> 00:07:52.179
 Nick Burke's family then is left wondering

00:07:52.179 --> 00:07:56.119
 what is going to happen to Nick.

00:07:58.179 --> 00:08:00.399
 That's similar to the situation

00:08:00.399 --> 00:08:03.639
 we find ourselves here in this passage this morning.

00:08:03.739 --> 00:08:05.479
 You might see where I'm headed with this.

00:08:05.480 --> 00:08:08.860
 Lot has separated himself

00:08:08.860 --> 00:08:12.360
 from the land and the protection of God.

00:08:13.500 --> 00:08:16.580
 Lot sees all the benefits,

00:08:17.439 --> 00:08:22.020
 comes to terms with none of the dangers.

00:08:22.759 --> 00:08:24.020
 Remember, chapter 13,

00:08:24.300 --> 00:08:26.140
 he and Abraham have to split.

00:08:26.520 --> 00:08:27.819
 They head in different ways.

00:08:28.240 --> 00:08:30.580
 He looks out, he sees the Jordan Valley,

00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:33.220
 and for him it is only beautiful and alluring.

00:08:33.220 --> 00:08:36.139
 It's this place of wealth and prosperity,

00:08:36.360 --> 00:08:38.840
 somewhere where he's confident he's going to thrive,

00:08:39.200 --> 00:08:44.120
 and yet we have the hint of coming tragedy,

00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:45.920
 not once but twice.

00:08:46.259 --> 00:08:47.620
 As he's picking it,

00:08:47.940 --> 00:08:49.080
 remember, we're told,

00:08:49.740 --> 00:08:53.960
 this was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.

00:08:55.100 --> 00:08:56.580
 And then in verse 13, it says,

00:08:56.580 --> 00:08:58.420
 now the men of Sodom were wicked,

00:08:58.940 --> 00:09:01.820
 great sinners against the Lord.

00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:04.660
 So like Nick Burke's friends,

00:09:05.040 --> 00:09:07.320
 the careful listener here is wondering

00:09:07.320 --> 00:09:10.960
 what is going to happen to Lot.

00:09:11.540 --> 00:09:15.860
 We know it will not end well.

00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:19.639
 There's a lot going on in the first,

00:09:20.040 --> 00:09:21.920
 say, 13 verses, 12 verses,

00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:24.519
 so I'm just going to summarize it for you very briefly.

00:09:25.379 --> 00:09:27.159
 In verses 1 through 9,

00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:29.819
 there is a geopolitical conflict

00:09:29.819 --> 00:09:31.679
 that involves a lot of kings.

00:09:32.579 --> 00:09:35.599
 We might even say it's not a geopolitical conflict,

00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:37.719
 but geopolitical conflicts,

00:09:38.219 --> 00:09:39.819
 because there's so much going on.

00:09:40.819 --> 00:09:42.939
 Why do we care about this conflict?

00:09:43.479 --> 00:09:45.579
 We care, we first find out,

00:09:45.659 --> 00:09:47.120
 in verse 2 and verse 8,

00:09:47.120 --> 00:09:49.100
 because Sodom is involved.

00:09:50.200 --> 00:09:51.960
 And if Sodom is involved,

00:09:52.320 --> 00:09:53.720
 then Lot is involved.

00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:55.340
 That helps us understand why,

00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:56.720
 in the midst of the story of Abraham,

00:09:56.899 --> 00:09:59.299
 we suddenly are told about these 10 plus kings

00:09:59.299 --> 00:10:00.840
 who are fighting with each other.

00:10:01.720 --> 00:10:06.060
 Last week, we were told that Lot moved right next to Sodom.

00:10:07.740 --> 00:10:12.700
 Did you notice what we find out in verse 12 of this week?

00:10:13.000 --> 00:10:14.560
 He's not right next to Sodom.

00:10:14.559 --> 00:10:18.239
 He is dwelling in Sodom.

00:10:19.159 --> 00:10:22.159
 The danger of him setting up camp so close

00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:25.579
 to these sinful people is coming true.

00:10:26.919 --> 00:10:28.339
 So they have the conflict.

00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:30.159
 Sodom's involved.

00:10:30.799 --> 00:10:32.039
 Verses 10 and 11,

00:10:32.339 --> 00:10:33.559
 Sodom is defeated,

00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:36.059
 which means, verse 12,

00:10:36.199 --> 00:10:38.519
 there is a lot of collateral damage,

00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:39.919
 including Lot.

00:10:40.839 --> 00:10:44.199
 Lot and all of his things are taken.

00:10:45.139 --> 00:10:48.059
 That is the point of verses 1 through 13.

00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:50.459
 Big conflict, lots of kings,

00:10:50.779 --> 00:10:51.419
 Sodom's involved,

00:10:51.500 --> 00:10:52.439
 because Sodom's involved,

00:10:52.719 --> 00:10:54.000
 things don't end well for Lot.

00:10:54.779 --> 00:10:56.479
 Which takes us back to our question,

00:10:58.399 --> 00:11:02.299
 what does God do with the foolishness of his people?

00:11:04.199 --> 00:11:05.759
 Lot, this is not an accident.

00:11:06.099 --> 00:11:08.439
 He's not merely a victim of circumstance.

00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:14.240
 He has made a foolish choice to move to a sinful place.

00:11:14.980 --> 00:11:16.420
 Now, I want to note at this point,

00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:18.780
 Lot is a very complicated figure.

00:11:19.320 --> 00:11:21.620
 If we just had chapter 13,

00:11:21.800 --> 00:11:22.500
 you might think,

00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:24.880
 you know, Lot has no relationship with God.

00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:26.640
 But actually, the New Testament

00:11:26.640 --> 00:11:28.760
 only speaks positively of Lot.

00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:32.820
 2 Peter chapter 2 tells us he is a righteous man.

00:11:32.820 --> 00:11:34.820
 It speaks well of Lot

00:11:34.820 --> 00:11:37.300
 that of all the people who did not go with Abraham,

00:11:37.740 --> 00:11:39.240
 he actually goes with him, right,

00:11:39.280 --> 00:11:41.400
 when he leaves his father's land.

00:11:42.900 --> 00:11:48.400
 And Lot is deeply flawed and wildly foolish.

00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:51.059
 So what is God going to do?

00:11:52.179 --> 00:11:54.299
 Especially when Lot's predicament

00:11:54.299 --> 00:11:56.439
 is because of Lot's decisions.

00:11:57.279 --> 00:11:59.579
 Well, we find out right away.

00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:01.539
 Verse 13,

00:12:02.639 --> 00:12:06.279
 God shows Lot tremendous grace.

00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:09.620
 And he shows Lot tremendous grace

00:12:09.620 --> 00:12:11.819
 in the way I mentioned in our confession of faith,

00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:13.059
 by his providence.

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:17.399
 It just so happens that one man escapes.

00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:20.980
 And this doesn't have to happen,

00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:22.840
 but not only does that man escape,

00:12:23.100 --> 00:12:25.759
 he runs and he tells Abraham.

00:12:26.860 --> 00:12:29.600
 In God's providential care,

00:12:30.879 --> 00:12:34.620
 Lot's story is not over.

00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:40.000
 What is God's response

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:41.579
 to the foolishness of his people?

00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:47.980
 His response is one of great grace

00:12:47.980 --> 00:12:50.879
 and undeserved mercy.

00:12:53.440 --> 00:12:54.580
 Brothers and sisters,

00:12:55.080 --> 00:12:57.340
 that is God's response

00:12:57.340 --> 00:12:59.879
 to our foolishness as well.

00:13:02.700 --> 00:13:03.639
 Outside of that,

00:13:04.180 --> 00:13:05.580
 we really don't have much hope.

00:13:08.220 --> 00:13:10.759
 As we've been looking at Abraham and Lot's story

00:13:10.759 --> 00:13:12.180
 over the last few weeks,

00:13:12.600 --> 00:13:13.700
 you might have been thinking,

00:13:13.860 --> 00:13:15.480
 man, maybe some of my priorities

00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:16.379
 are out of order.

00:13:17.420 --> 00:13:18.560
 Maybe there are things

00:13:18.560 --> 00:13:20.320
 that I have valued above God

00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:21.800
 and his kingdom and his mission.

00:13:23.060 --> 00:13:24.860
 Chapter 14 reminds us

00:13:24.860 --> 00:13:28.539
 there is still so much grace.

00:13:30.200 --> 00:13:31.879
 God is still protecting

00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:34.300
 and pursuing his people.

00:13:34.299 --> 00:13:39.699
 God is still watching out for you.

00:13:39.699 --> 00:13:41.639
 God is still watching out for you.

00:13:41.639 --> 00:13:43.699
 God is still watching out for you.

00:13:43.699 --> 00:13:48.139
 If you belong to him,

00:13:49.579 --> 00:13:53.639
 God is still watching out for you.

00:13:54.439 --> 00:13:55.159
 Christian.

00:13:55.159 --> 00:13:58.799
 In the midst of your foolishness,

00:13:59.639 --> 00:14:00.759
 our foolishness,

00:14:01.480 --> 00:14:02.159
 stupidity,

00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:03.860
 short-sightedness.

00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:06.719
 And so in Lot's story here,

00:14:06.779 --> 00:14:07.600
 we see two things.

00:14:08.199 --> 00:14:09.719
 We see an encouragement

00:14:09.719 --> 00:14:11.379
 and a warning.

00:14:12.559 --> 00:14:14.039
 Encouragement, I've already told you.

00:14:15.019 --> 00:14:17.819
 God shows great grace to his people

00:14:17.819 --> 00:14:20.079
 even when they are deeply flawed

00:14:20.079 --> 00:14:21.199
 and sinful.

00:14:21.200 --> 00:14:24.480
 If you belong to him,

00:14:25.560 --> 00:14:29.080
 God has not given up on you

00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:33.300
 no matter where you are.

00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:37.820
 And if you do not belong to him,

00:14:38.820 --> 00:14:41.900
 it is not too late.

00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:45.780
 It's not too late to repent

00:14:45.780 --> 00:14:47.620
 and follow after him.

00:14:47.620 --> 00:14:50.200
 That's the encouragement.

00:14:52.279 --> 00:14:54.919
 Lot also gives us a sober warning.

00:14:56.500 --> 00:14:59.080
 Yes, Lot's life is saved.

00:15:00.419 --> 00:15:04.580
 Yes, Lot escapes a future of slavery

00:15:04.580 --> 00:15:10.120
 and so much is lost.

00:15:12.220 --> 00:15:14.240
 Lot will not experience

00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:18.519
 the intimacy and fellowship with God

00:15:18.519 --> 00:15:19.919
 that Abraham does.

00:15:21.879 --> 00:15:24.180
 Lot will not be a blessing to the nations

00:15:24.180 --> 00:15:26.419
 in the way that Abraham will.

00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:29.200
 And Lot's descendants

00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.460
 are going to suffer

00:15:31.460 --> 00:15:33.159
 from his unfaithfulness.

00:15:34.379 --> 00:15:35.960
 As we watch the story

00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:37.460
 of the Old Testament play out,

00:15:37.560 --> 00:15:38.779
 there is a tragedy

00:15:38.779 --> 00:15:40.980
 for those who are born from Lot.

00:15:40.980 --> 00:15:43.639
 They are going to have

00:15:43.639 --> 00:15:44.940
 one foot in

00:15:44.940 --> 00:15:46.399
 and one foot out

00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:47.139
 of God's people.

00:15:47.300 --> 00:15:49.840
 They will be half-hearted at best

00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:52.580
 and apostate at worst.

00:15:53.720 --> 00:15:55.100
 So there's an encouragement.

00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.080
 God's grace is always there

00:15:59.080 --> 00:15:59.920
 for his people.

00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:01.779
 And there's a warning.

00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:05.340
 Actions have consequences.

00:16:05.340 --> 00:16:08.420
 There are real things

00:16:08.420 --> 00:16:09.460
 to be missed

00:16:09.460 --> 00:16:10.759
 and lost

00:16:10.759 --> 00:16:12.980
 if we forsake

00:16:12.980 --> 00:16:14.080
 God's people

00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:15.200
 and God's land.

00:16:17.700 --> 00:16:18.820
 Now as people

00:16:18.820 --> 00:16:20.200
 in the New Testament,

00:16:20.740 --> 00:16:22.180
 we don't look

00:16:22.180 --> 00:16:23.420
 to a specific land.

00:16:24.379 --> 00:16:26.200
 We cling fast

00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:27.560
 to God's promises

00:16:27.560 --> 00:16:29.379
 and his protection.

00:16:31.660 --> 00:16:33.680
 And where are those promises

00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:34.599
 acted out?

00:16:34.679 --> 00:16:35.859
 Where does God promise

00:16:35.859 --> 00:16:36.699
 that his protection

00:16:36.699 --> 00:16:37.399
 will happen?

00:16:38.120 --> 00:16:39.039
 It is here

00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:40.120
 with his people

00:16:40.120 --> 00:16:41.259
 in his church.

00:16:43.139 --> 00:16:44.199
 Remember what I told you

00:16:44.199 --> 00:16:44.839
 last week.

00:16:45.839 --> 00:16:46.259
 Never

00:16:46.259 --> 00:16:48.739
 leave the promised land.

00:16:51.199 --> 00:16:52.479
 I tell you the same thing

00:16:52.479 --> 00:16:52.899
 this week

00:16:52.899 --> 00:16:53.759
 but in a different way.

00:16:54.879 --> 00:16:55.339
 Never

00:16:55.339 --> 00:16:56.379
 leave

00:16:56.379 --> 00:16:57.399
 God's

00:16:57.399 --> 00:16:58.059
 people.

00:16:59.819 --> 00:17:01.599
 No matter how good

00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:02.740
 it looks

00:17:02.740 --> 00:17:03.740
 over there.

00:17:05.740 --> 00:17:06.180
 Cling

00:17:06.180 --> 00:17:07.019
 to his church.

00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:08.299
 Cling

00:17:08.299 --> 00:17:09.680
 to his word.

00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:12.599
 I've been telling you

00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:13.259
 the last number

00:17:13.259 --> 00:17:13.720
 of weeks

00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:14.440
 about this quote

00:17:14.440 --> 00:17:15.279
 from David Gibson

00:17:15.279 --> 00:17:15.860
 where he says,

00:17:15.980 --> 00:17:16.059
 hey,

00:17:16.140 --> 00:17:17.440
 we can't enjoy

00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:18.360
 created things

00:17:18.360 --> 00:17:19.000
 that we worship.

00:17:19.240 --> 00:17:19.720
 The only way

00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:20.380
 to enjoy them

00:17:20.380 --> 00:17:21.380
 is to worship God.

00:17:22.759 --> 00:17:23.220
 C.S. Lewis

00:17:23.220 --> 00:17:24.180
 puts it a different way.

00:17:24.259 --> 00:17:25.259
 This is on page 7

00:17:25.259 --> 00:17:26.299
 of your worship guide.

00:17:26.880 --> 00:17:28.360
 Put first things

00:17:28.360 --> 00:17:28.980
 first

00:17:28.980 --> 00:17:30.279
 and we get

00:17:30.279 --> 00:17:31.259
 second things

00:17:31.259 --> 00:17:32.240
 thrown in.

00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:34.579
 Put second things

00:17:34.579 --> 00:17:35.120
 first

00:17:35.120 --> 00:17:36.620
 and we lose

00:17:36.620 --> 00:17:37.700
 both first

00:17:37.700 --> 00:17:39.099
 and second

00:17:39.099 --> 00:17:40.059
 things.

00:17:41.059 --> 00:17:42.140
 What does Lot

00:17:42.140 --> 00:17:42.700
 do here

00:17:42.700 --> 00:17:43.539
 in chapters 13

00:17:43.539 --> 00:17:44.059
 and 14

00:17:44.059 --> 00:17:44.819
 but put

00:17:44.819 --> 00:17:46.220
 second things

00:17:46.220 --> 00:17:46.799
 first?

00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:48.819
 The good land

00:17:48.819 --> 00:17:50.640
 is more important

00:17:50.640 --> 00:17:51.000
 to him

00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:51.819
 than anything else.

00:17:53.059 --> 00:17:54.200
 What does he end up

00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:54.519
 losing?

00:17:55.980 --> 00:17:56.860
 Chapter 19,

00:17:56.859 --> 00:17:58.319
 he doesn't have

00:17:58.319 --> 00:17:59.279
 any good land.

00:18:00.919 --> 00:18:02.359
 Put first things

00:18:02.359 --> 00:18:02.879
 first

00:18:02.879 --> 00:18:04.019
 and we get

00:18:04.019 --> 00:18:05.339
 second things

00:18:05.339 --> 00:18:06.919
 thrown in.

00:18:10.199 --> 00:18:11.439
 Now we left off

00:18:11.439 --> 00:18:12.259
 here in our story

00:18:12.259 --> 00:18:13.779
 on verse 13.

00:18:14.259 --> 00:18:15.019
 That's not going

00:18:15.019 --> 00:18:15.919
 to finish it though.

00:18:16.659 --> 00:18:17.539
 Abraham needs

00:18:17.539 --> 00:18:18.639
 more than

00:18:18.639 --> 00:18:19.459
 a messenger.

00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:21.679
 We see in the messenger

00:18:21.679 --> 00:18:22.759
 God's grace

00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:24.019
 to his people,

00:18:24.119 --> 00:18:24.479
 his grace

00:18:24.479 --> 00:18:25.240
 to Lot.

00:18:25.240 --> 00:18:26.740
 we're also going

00:18:26.740 --> 00:18:27.819
 to need God's grace

00:18:27.819 --> 00:18:28.539
 through

00:18:28.539 --> 00:18:29.839
 his people.

00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:31.380
 13,

00:18:31.500 --> 00:18:32.559
 we meet Abraham.

00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:33.640
 He is sitting

00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:34.839
 with his connections,

00:18:35.039 --> 00:18:35.740
 his allies.

00:18:36.180 --> 00:18:37.039
 We find out

00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:38.120
 Abraham is in fact

00:18:38.120 --> 00:18:39.079
 not a loner.

00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:40.579
 He's been making

00:18:40.579 --> 00:18:41.160
 connections

00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:42.259
 and shaking hands.

00:18:42.940 --> 00:18:43.640
 He's been getting

00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:44.259
 on the ancient

00:18:44.259 --> 00:18:44.839
 Near Eastern

00:18:44.839 --> 00:18:45.680
 linked in

00:18:45.680 --> 00:18:46.720
 and friending people.

00:18:47.420 --> 00:18:48.620
 He's been attending

00:18:48.620 --> 00:18:49.720
 the desert block

00:18:49.720 --> 00:18:50.200
 parties.

00:18:51.299 --> 00:18:51.620
 You know,

00:18:51.700 --> 00:18:52.420
 if you have something

00:18:52.420 --> 00:18:53.720
 wrong with your cart,

00:18:54.019 --> 00:18:55.340
 he has a torque wrench,

00:18:55.360 --> 00:18:55.800
 he'll help you

00:18:55.800 --> 00:18:56.320
 put the wheel

00:18:56.320 --> 00:18:57.000
 back on.

00:18:58.240 --> 00:18:59.200
 And with all that,

00:18:59.240 --> 00:18:59.700
 that's when he

00:18:59.700 --> 00:19:00.700
 receives the news,

00:19:00.779 --> 00:19:01.000
 right?

00:19:01.060 --> 00:19:01.840
 He is there,

00:19:01.940 --> 00:19:02.720
 he's connected.

00:19:04.279 --> 00:19:04.880
 It's not just

00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:05.620
 that he has allies

00:19:05.620 --> 00:19:05.900
 though,

00:19:06.000 --> 00:19:06.360
 14.

00:19:07.019 --> 00:19:07.759
 He in fact

00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:09.360
 has 318

00:19:09.360 --> 00:19:10.900
 of his own men,

00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:11.680
 trained men,

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:13.900
 which I'm guessing,

00:19:14.100 --> 00:19:14.360
 you know,

00:19:14.420 --> 00:19:15.019
 most of you all

00:19:15.019 --> 00:19:15.440
 when you think

00:19:15.440 --> 00:19:16.500
 about your trained men,

00:19:17.120 --> 00:19:17.840
 doesn't reach

00:19:17.840 --> 00:19:18.220
 the number

00:19:18.220 --> 00:19:19.120
 of 318.

00:19:19.119 --> 00:19:22.119
 Abraham's really

00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:22.459
 wealthy.

00:19:24.299 --> 00:19:25.139
 He's wealthy,

00:19:25.379 --> 00:19:25.839
 that's why

00:19:25.839 --> 00:19:26.619
 they had to separate.

00:19:27.019 --> 00:19:27.859
 He's not just wealthy,

00:19:27.979 --> 00:19:28.599
 verse 15,

00:19:28.679 --> 00:19:29.359
 he comes up

00:19:29.359 --> 00:19:30.799
 with a creative plan.

00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:31.319
 Look,

00:19:31.359 --> 00:19:32.019
 we're going to split

00:19:32.019 --> 00:19:33.059
 into two forces

00:19:33.059 --> 00:19:34.000
 and pursue them

00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:34.719
 to the north.

00:19:35.079 --> 00:19:35.459
 We're going to

00:19:35.459 --> 00:19:36.259
 attack at night.

00:19:36.959 --> 00:19:37.859
 So Abraham's not

00:19:37.859 --> 00:19:38.559
 just been making

00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:39.079
 connections,

00:19:39.239 --> 00:19:39.819
 Abraham knows

00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:40.500
 what he's doing.

00:19:41.000 --> 00:19:42.579
 He is not a newcomer

00:19:42.579 --> 00:19:43.319
 here to ancient

00:19:43.319 --> 00:19:44.299
 Near Eastern warfare.

00:19:45.399 --> 00:19:45.779
 Then,

00:19:46.099 --> 00:19:46.839
 verse 15,

00:19:47.179 --> 00:19:47.859
 he gives up

00:19:47.859 --> 00:19:48.579
 his time.

00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:49.579
 He's going

00:19:49.579 --> 00:19:50.479
 to pursue them,

00:19:50.579 --> 00:19:50.959
 we're told,

00:19:51.039 --> 00:19:52.500
 Hobah north of Damascus,

00:19:52.779 --> 00:19:55.919
 which is 125 miles

00:19:55.919 --> 00:19:57.599
 north of where

00:19:57.599 --> 00:19:59.019
 Abraham is currently.

00:20:00.259 --> 00:20:01.419
 So Abraham loses

00:20:01.419 --> 00:20:02.339
 at least a weekend,

00:20:02.539 --> 00:20:02.739
 right?

00:20:03.819 --> 00:20:04.859
 He might even have

00:20:04.859 --> 00:20:05.799
 missed a big game

00:20:05.799 --> 00:20:06.819
 to go and rescue Lot.

00:20:08.659 --> 00:20:10.439
 Abraham gives up

00:20:10.439 --> 00:20:11.359
 his resources,

00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:14.099
 he uses his creativity,

00:20:14.679 --> 00:20:16.799
 he sacrifices his time,

00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:17.899
 and he takes

00:20:17.899 --> 00:20:19.919
 bold and risky action

00:20:19.919 --> 00:20:23.159
 for his stupid nephew.

00:20:25.839 --> 00:20:26.799
 And he does

00:20:26.799 --> 00:20:27.919
 all of those things

00:20:27.919 --> 00:20:30.139
 because he believes

00:20:30.139 --> 00:20:32.059
 God's promises.

00:20:34.299 --> 00:20:35.680
 Remember the end

00:20:35.680 --> 00:20:36.740
 of chapter 13,

00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:38.159
 God repeats

00:20:38.159 --> 00:20:38.859
 what he's already

00:20:38.859 --> 00:20:39.519
 told him,

00:20:40.059 --> 00:20:40.799
 this land

00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:42.819
 will be yours.

00:20:42.819 --> 00:20:48.879
 God's grace

00:20:48.879 --> 00:20:49.980
 to his people,

00:20:50.879 --> 00:20:53.099
 God's grace

00:20:53.099 --> 00:20:53.960
 through

00:20:53.960 --> 00:20:55.299
 his people.

00:20:57.779 --> 00:20:59.659
 God uses us

00:20:59.659 --> 00:21:01.779
 in his rescue mission.

00:21:04.179 --> 00:21:05.779
 God uses our time,

00:21:06.779 --> 00:21:08.379
 uses our creativity,

00:21:08.380 --> 00:21:08.460
 community,

00:21:09.180 --> 00:21:11.200
 he uses our resources,

00:21:12.200 --> 00:21:14.140
 if and when

00:21:14.140 --> 00:21:15.360
 we believe

00:21:15.360 --> 00:21:16.600
 he will keep

00:21:16.600 --> 00:21:17.760
 his promises.

00:21:19.800 --> 00:21:21.380
 God shows his grace

00:21:21.380 --> 00:21:22.200
 to his people

00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:23.960
 through his people.

00:21:28.040 --> 00:21:29.260
 So we use

00:21:29.260 --> 00:21:30.560
 whatever God's given us

00:21:30.560 --> 00:21:32.880
 to rescue

00:21:32.880 --> 00:21:34.260
 and restore

00:21:34.260 --> 00:21:35.380
 others.

00:21:35.380 --> 00:21:36.060
 others.

00:21:37.780 --> 00:21:38.740
 Remember I told you

00:21:38.740 --> 00:21:39.500
 we're in the story

00:21:39.500 --> 00:21:39.920
 of Abraham

00:21:39.920 --> 00:21:40.800
 for two reasons.

00:21:41.340 --> 00:21:41.600
 One,

00:21:41.700 --> 00:21:42.720
 to prepare for Romans.

00:21:42.920 --> 00:21:43.220
 Two,

00:21:43.980 --> 00:21:45.600
 to see what it looks like

00:21:45.600 --> 00:21:46.760
 to follow God

00:21:46.760 --> 00:21:47.360
 in faith.

00:21:48.940 --> 00:21:49.920
 And part of what

00:21:49.920 --> 00:21:50.500
 it looks like

00:21:50.500 --> 00:21:51.640
 to follow God

00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:52.280
 in faith

00:21:52.280 --> 00:21:53.840
 is to rescue

00:21:53.840 --> 00:21:55.140
 stupid nephews

00:21:55.140 --> 00:21:57.820
 with our 318

00:21:57.820 --> 00:21:58.700
 trained men,

00:21:59.220 --> 00:22:00.340
 with our time,

00:22:00.500 --> 00:22:01.260
 with our resources,

00:22:02.260 --> 00:22:02.760
 creativity.

00:22:05.380 --> 00:22:07.480
 Abraham does it

00:22:07.480 --> 00:22:08.240
 because of

00:22:08.240 --> 00:22:09.300
 God's promises,

00:22:09.520 --> 00:22:09.980
 his promise

00:22:09.980 --> 00:22:10.820
 in chapter 12,

00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:11.320
 his promise

00:22:11.320 --> 00:22:12.500
 in chapter 13,

00:22:12.920 --> 00:22:14.920
 and he knows

00:22:14.920 --> 00:22:17.840
 whatever happens,

00:22:18.160 --> 00:22:19.440
 he will never

00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:21.100
 lose his ultimate

00:22:21.100 --> 00:22:21.620
 security.

00:22:22.760 --> 00:22:24.040
 Whatever happens,

00:22:24.400 --> 00:22:26.100
 God has given him

00:22:26.100 --> 00:22:27.400
 the promised land

00:22:27.400 --> 00:22:28.120
 and said

00:22:28.120 --> 00:22:29.120
 it will

00:22:29.120 --> 00:22:30.380
 be his.

00:22:32.780 --> 00:22:33.980
 Brothers and sisters,

00:22:33.980 --> 00:22:34.860
 the same

00:22:34.860 --> 00:22:36.059
 is true

00:22:36.059 --> 00:22:37.299
 for us.

00:22:38.860 --> 00:22:40.079
 When and where

00:22:40.079 --> 00:22:41.519
 we believe

00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:42.480
 God's promises,

00:22:43.120 --> 00:22:45.440
 we will be willing

00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:46.539
 to sacrifice

00:22:46.539 --> 00:22:47.360
 much

00:22:47.360 --> 00:22:48.920
 to save

00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:49.420
 others.

00:22:51.099 --> 00:22:52.339
 Even when it's

00:22:52.339 --> 00:22:52.880
 because

00:22:52.880 --> 00:22:53.579
 they've made

00:22:53.579 --> 00:22:54.480
 their own

00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:55.380
 bed.

00:22:55.380 --> 00:23:00.300
 things did

00:23:00.300 --> 00:23:00.900
 not end

00:23:00.900 --> 00:23:02.140
 as well

00:23:02.140 --> 00:23:02.700
 for Nick

00:23:02.700 --> 00:23:02.960
 Berg

00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:03.420
 as they

00:23:03.420 --> 00:23:03.680
 did

00:23:03.680 --> 00:23:04.320
 for Lot.

00:23:05.140 --> 00:23:05.900
 It's a long

00:23:05.900 --> 00:23:06.400
 and gruesome

00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:07.080
 story that I

00:23:07.080 --> 00:23:07.500
 will spare

00:23:07.500 --> 00:23:07.880
 you most

00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:08.100
 of the

00:23:08.100 --> 00:23:08.500
 details.

00:23:09.300 --> 00:23:09.580
 But Nick

00:23:09.580 --> 00:23:10.080
 ends up

00:23:10.080 --> 00:23:10.720
 being captured

00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:11.280
 by a

00:23:11.280 --> 00:23:11.660
 terrorist

00:23:11.660 --> 00:23:12.440
 organization

00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:13.640
 that later

00:23:13.640 --> 00:23:14.360
 becomes known

00:23:14.360 --> 00:23:14.900
 as ISIS,

00:23:15.100 --> 00:23:15.540
 the Islamic

00:23:15.540 --> 00:23:16.000
 state,

00:23:16.340 --> 00:23:17.320
 and he is

00:23:17.320 --> 00:23:17.780
 beheaded

00:23:17.780 --> 00:23:18.700
 on video

00:23:18.700 --> 00:23:20.440
 as a piece

00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:21.320
 of revenge

00:23:21.320 --> 00:23:22.060
 against

00:23:22.060 --> 00:23:22.780
 America

00:23:22.779 --> 00:23:25.359
 and American

00:23:25.359 --> 00:23:25.920
 torture

00:23:25.920 --> 00:23:26.740
 in Abu

00:23:26.740 --> 00:23:27.079
 Graib.

00:23:27.839 --> 00:23:28.420
 Videos of

00:23:28.420 --> 00:23:28.819
 Nick's

00:23:28.819 --> 00:23:29.639
 beheading

00:23:29.639 --> 00:23:30.220
 go viral.

00:23:31.700 --> 00:23:32.279
 The power

00:23:32.279 --> 00:23:32.839
 and the

00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:33.440
 might of

00:23:33.440 --> 00:23:33.980
 the United

00:23:33.980 --> 00:23:34.579
 States

00:23:34.579 --> 00:23:35.279
 is not

00:23:35.279 --> 00:23:35.819
 enough

00:23:35.819 --> 00:23:36.980
 to protect

00:23:36.980 --> 00:23:37.259
 him.

00:23:40.539 --> 00:23:41.180
 Nick

00:23:41.180 --> 00:23:42.519
 left the

00:23:42.519 --> 00:23:43.039
 land

00:23:43.039 --> 00:23:43.839
 and the

00:23:43.839 --> 00:23:44.299
 protection

00:23:44.299 --> 00:23:44.899
 of the

00:23:44.899 --> 00:23:45.420
 U.S.

00:23:45.420 --> 00:23:46.519
 He loses

00:23:46.519 --> 00:23:47.019
 his life.

00:23:48.779 --> 00:23:49.139
 Lot

00:23:49.140 --> 00:23:51.220
 leaves

00:23:51.220 --> 00:23:51.980
 the land

00:23:51.980 --> 00:23:52.280
 of

00:23:52.280 --> 00:23:52.920
 protection

00:23:52.920 --> 00:23:54.740
 of God

00:23:54.740 --> 00:23:56.440
 and is

00:23:56.440 --> 00:23:57.020
 saved

00:23:57.020 --> 00:23:58.600
 because

00:23:58.600 --> 00:23:59.100
 God's

00:23:59.100 --> 00:23:59.700
 promise

00:23:59.700 --> 00:24:00.759
 is that

00:24:00.759 --> 00:24:01.040
 he will

00:24:01.040 --> 00:24:01.480
 never

00:24:01.480 --> 00:24:02.660
 leave us

00:24:02.660 --> 00:24:03.740
 or forsake

00:24:03.740 --> 00:24:04.100
 us.

00:24:05.860 --> 00:24:06.920
 So he

00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:07.480
 saves

00:24:07.480 --> 00:24:08.300
 his people,

00:24:09.080 --> 00:24:09.680
 he saves

00:24:09.680 --> 00:24:09.980
 you and

00:24:09.980 --> 00:24:10.300
 me

00:24:10.300 --> 00:24:11.759
 in the

00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:12.100
 midst

00:24:12.100 --> 00:24:12.920
 of our

00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:13.600
 foolishness

00:24:13.600 --> 00:24:14.580
 and our

00:24:14.580 --> 00:24:15.100
 stupidity.

00:24:15.980 --> 00:24:17.040
 We do

00:24:17.040 --> 00:24:17.660
 the same

00:24:17.660 --> 00:24:19.100
 for others.

00:24:44.800 --> 00:24:45.300

00:24:46.100 --> 00:24:46.440

00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:47.120
 would risk

00:24:47.120 --> 00:24:47.660
