Sermon Title:  You chose him?



Sermon Scripture: Genesis 11:27-32



Speaker: Andy Bratton



Big Idea:  God’s plan started with the calling of the right man at the right time for His purpose.



Why did God choose Abram? (Genesis 12:1-3)




Abram was gracious (Genesis 13:5-9)



Abram was a warrior (Genesis 14:10-12)



Abram was hospitable (Genesis 18:1-8)




But…




Abram deceived (Genesis 12:11-13)



Abram showed a lack of faith (Genesis 15:2-3; Genesis 20:1-2)



Abram showed a lack of leadership (Genesis 16:1-2)




So why did God choose Abram for His plan?



Genesis 11:27-32



God chose Abram because he was Christ-like.

Sermon Title:  Deflection



Sermon Scripture: Genesis 1-11



Speaker: Andy Bratton



Big Idea:  We were supposed to reflect God’s image not deflect it.  When we embrace who He made us to be we reflect Him.  When we look in the mirror for ourselves instead of Him we deflect his image.




God created man

Genesis 1:24-28; 2:7



What does it tell us about God?

Genesis 2:18



Genesis 2:19-20





What does it tell us about man?



Man and God’s relationship?

God gave instructions



Man was expected to obey







Man chose to sin

Genesis 3:1-5



Genesis 3:6





Sin brought death – Romans 5:12

Genesis 3:19



Genesis 4:8



Genesis 6:5-7





Death caused separation

Genesis 3:22-24



Isaiah 59:1-2



2 Thess. 1:8-9





Separation created a need for a solution

2 Peter 2:9-10



Genesis 3:21



Genesis 6:13



Genesis 11:31






The first 11 chapters and 2,000 years of the world’s existence, set the stage for God’s great pursuit of his crowning achievement; man who was made to reflect Him from the beginning, but chose to deflect Him in his own pursuit of deity.
