Erin Church Of The Nazarene

Pastor Daniel Medders centers the message on Genesis 15, inviting listeners to picture Abram under a star-filled sky as God promises descendants too numerous to count. He reviews Genesis 12–14 to show Abram’s character forming over time, including Abram’s generosity toward Lot, Lot’s choice to settle near Sodom and the trouble that follows, and Abram’s rescue mission with 318 trained men. Medders highlights Abram’s integrity when he refuses the king of Sodom’s offer of wealth, so no one can later claim they made Abram prosperous, and he contrasts that with Abram’s earlier deception in Egypt during the famine to show growth in faith. He concludes that righteousness is found in trusting God through the process, then applies it to practical steps like living generously and acting with integrity, and he transitions toward baptisms and closes in prayer.
