Join Pastor Peter as he shares another powerful sermon as he works his way through the book of Genesis. In chapter 20, Abraham sins very similar to how he did in Genesis 12, but Pastor Peter looks at the subtle but important differences the text tells us and the repercussions therein, and how God uses suffering in our lives. Have a listen! “History repeats itself with Abraham; is it a waste to read Genesis 20?” -Pastor Peter “The Wizard tells the Lion, in the book of the Wizard of Oz, “You do not want courage, you want the ability to not struggle anymore.” -Pastor Peter “Our Lord was crucified for our faith.” -Pastor Peter “The life of a Christian is constant effort towards the Lord.” -Pastor Peter “Jesus is promising us a life of a certain amount of drudgery… to pursue Him in fidelity.” -Pastor Peter “The truth must root in your heart that you apply it when you need it most.” -Pastor Peter “Why would he take the biggest calling of his life and jeopardize it for no reason?” -Pastor Peter “The fear of ‘could I have done more’ is a very potent thing.” -Pastor Peter “When we feel lost, anxious, or like our life is in turmoil, we lose ourselves; we revert.” -Pastor Peter “When there’s a real threat, the vast majority of us will protect our own lives.” -Pastor Peter “You fall back on your lowest level of training.” -Pastor Peter “Are you going to be able to bear the time of adversity or will it crush you?” -Pastor Peter “I know that the experiences of our lives become the mysterious preparation of the work He will give us to do.” -Corrie ten Boom (The Hiding Place) “Adversity is training for the Christian.” -Pastor Peter “Whatever suffering you’re going through is preparation for the calling on your life.” -Pastor Peter “Life is constant preparation for glory for those who love Him.” -Pastor Peter “God is preparing me for glory; He desires to do it through suffering.” -Pastor Peter “To approach it from this perspective makes you hopeful and enables you to undergo it.” -Pastor Peter #suffering #hope #truth #bible #calvarychapel #calvarymarana #marana #maranaaz #tucson #biblestudy #genesis #regret #abraham #adversity #training #christian
