Don’t Stop Believing – Genesis 15:1
In this inspiring sermon, “Don’t Stop Believing,” we delve into Genesis 15:1 to explore the profound message of faith and trust in God’s promises. God’s word came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.” This powerful message challenges us to hear God’s voice, ask questions in faith, and believe in His promises even before they come to pass.
Challenge: Don’t Stop Believing
A. FAITH HEARS FROM GOD
Verse 1: “After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: ‘Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.’”
God’s word to Abram addresses the deep concerns of his heart, providing comfort and reassurance. Whether through a thunderous voice or a still small whisper, God’s word is powerful and paramount. In a world filled with various voices, it’s crucial to tune into the right one—God’s voice.
B. FAITH ASKS QUESTIONS
Verses 2-3: Abram said, “Sovereign Lord, what can you give me since I remain childless, and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?”
It’s okay to ask questions and seek understanding from God, just as Abram did. When we approach God with respect, acknowledging His sovereignty, we can present our concerns and uncertainties, trusting that He is in control.
C. FAITH BELIEVES BEFORE IT SEES
Verses 4-6: “Then the word of the Lord came to him: ‘This man will not be your heir, but a son who is your own flesh and blood will be your heir.’ He took him outside and said, ‘Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them.’ Then he said to him, ‘So shall your offspring be.’ Abram believed the Lord, and He credited it to him as righteousness.”
Faith involves believing in God’s power and promises before they are fulfilled. Just as Abram believed God’s promise of countless descendants, we too must trust in God’s word, even when the fulfillment seems impossible.
Join us as we explore these timeless truths and encourage one another to keep believing in God’s promises, no matter the circumstances.

Barabbas
Join Pastors Bill McMinn and Eric Barfell on the Way to Go Podcast as they delve into the poignant narrative of Barabbas, as depicted in Matthew 27:15-18 and Mark 15:6-13.
During the festival, it was customary for the governor to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd. Among the prisoners was Jesus Barabbas, a well-known figure. Pilate, aware of the chief priests’ ulterior motives, offered to release either Jesus Barabbas or Jesus the Messiah. Despite Pilate’s hesitation, the crowd, influenced by the chief priests, demanded the release of Barabbas and the crucifixion of Jesus.
Barabbas becomes emblematic of substitutionary salvation, as he is spared from death through Jesus taking his place. However, this reprieve is contingent upon belief, highlighting the importance of faith in salvation.
The narrative underscores the human tendency to prefer figures like Barabbas, who cater to our desires, over those like Jesus, who challenge us. It reveals the true motives behind the leaders’ actions – jealousy and fear of losing their position.
Ultimately, the choice between Jesus and Barabbas reflects a broader spiritual dilemma – whether we align ourselves with truth or with what satisfies our desires. The chant to crucify Jesus echoes through history, serving as a stark reminder of humanity’s capacity for brutality and the struggle against sound doctrine.
Pilate’s reluctance to condemn Jesus highlights the moral complexity of the situation and raises questions about societal culpability in unjust actions.
The narrative of Barabbas offers profound insights into themes of substitutionary salvation, human nature, and the choices we make in response to truth. Join Pastors Bill and Eric as they explore these themes and their relevance to contemporary spiritual life on the Way to Go Podcast.
