One Who Blesses

In a world that constantly tempts us to secure blessing on our own terms — through performance, despite our failures, or in spite of our circumstances — God interrupts with an audacious promise: blessing that is guaranteed. This sermon traces how God called an undeserving idolater named Abraham and made him a promise that he would be a blessing for all nations, delivered through Abraham's offspring, Jesus. In Christ, the blessings promised to Abraham — belonging, significance, and an inheritance that cannot be squandered — are yours, not by your striving or your track record, but by grace through faith, sealed in your baptism.
