Blessed to Bless Others

This Sunday, we turn to Genesis 11:10–12:3, a pivotal passage that introduces us not only to Abram, but to God’s unfolding plan to bless the world through him. From the beginning, God’s design has been this: that His people would trust Him, receive His blessing, and then be a blessing to others. In Abram’s story, we see a man called to leave behind the comforts of home, security of family, and even his own identity, all to walk by faith. In return, God pours out rich blessings—both personal and generational—blessings that will find their fulfillment in Jesus. And now, through faith in Christ, we are both recipients of these blessings and stewards of them as well—conduits of God’s grace, love, and hope to the world. This passage invites us to reexamine how we are trusting God, being transformed by His blessings, and living to bless others for His name’s sake. Soli Deo Gloria!

Big Idea: Trust, be blessed, and be a blessing to others, as God ordained from the beginning. 

1. Trust God’s calling

2. Be blessed by God’s provision 

3. Be the conduit God uses to bless others

Preparation Questions: Genesis 11:10-12:3

1. What has God called you to give up or do that has been difficult? Is there something you’re currently holding onto that is keeping you from fully obeying Christ? What is it and why does it have a hold on you? 

2. How should knowing and experiencing the blessings of God in Christ change they way you live? How should your hope in the eternal blessings to come change the way you live? Are they? 

3. How has God equipped His people to bless others? In what ways has God specifically equipped you to be a blessing to others? Are you exercising your gifts and talents to that end? 

4. How can the church best bless the families of the earth? How can CCC better meet the needs of those in our mission field? How can you participate?

Song Highlight: I Set My Hope On Jesus

Our hymn highlight this week is by Keith Getty, Matt Boswell & Matt Papa titled I Set My Hope On Jesus (Hymn for a Deconstructing Friend). As the subtitle of the hymn indicates, this is written in a time and place where there has been an increasing trend in Christianity in what is referred to as “deconstruction.” This is used in the context of someone deconstructing their faith, or walking away from Christianity. Often this is a result of trials that an individual will experience, a desire to pursue a lifestyle of sin rather than Godliness, or pressures from a dark and anti-christian world calling people to leave “foolish” religion. There are certainly more reasons than this, but this hymn is a response that Christians can and should sing boldly amid the trials and temptations we face. When we go through trials and seasons of sorrows, we are to set our hope on Jesus and find joy in him. When we falter and stumble in sin, we are to set our hope on Jesus as the one who forgives us our sins and makes us righteous through his dying sacrifice. And when the world around us mocks, persecutes, and calls us to abandon our Lord, we are to set our hope on Jesus, the one who will lead us our whole life and bring us home where we will worship Him forever and ever. That is the great hope that we have! So, friend, in all things, set your hope on Jesus.
