The Promise of a New People

Genesis 12:1-5, Ephesians 2:11-22, Hebrews 8:11-13, and 1 Peter 2:9-12

God said in the journey of Abraham leaving that He would:

1. Make him a great nation.

2. Make his name great and be a blessing.

3. Bless those who bless him and curse who curses him.

4. Bless all the peoples on the earth through him.

To become a new people, we have to leave:

5. Our country.

6. Our family.

7. Our father’s household.

8. Make Jesus number one.
