The Life of Lot
A Character Study
Sermon #1
The Best Days of His Life
Text: Genesis 11:25-32
A Great Family Heritage
His Great 8x’s Grandfather = Shem the blessed one of Noah’s Children
His Uncle was Abraham – The Father of the Faith
His 1st Cousin was Isaac & Rebekah – The Promised Son & Provided Bride
The Beginning of an Important Pattern – 11:31
31 “And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son's son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram's wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan;”
We cannot Ignore the Fact that there are Patterns in our Life!
The Places He Went – They go where we send them!
The People He Was With - Abraham
We cannot Ignore the Followers that are Placed in our Life!
The Blessing of an Implemented Pattern– 12:4, 5; 13:1, 5, 6
The Best Days of His Life were invested in Following His Grandfather’s Motions!
The Blest Days of His Life were invested in Following God’s Man!
Genesis 20:7 – 1st Prophet Mentioned in the Bible – Abraham!!!
The Breaking of an Instrumental Pattern – 13:9 – 18
From Now on Lot would be Miserable Every Single Day –
II Peter 2:7,8 “Lot vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8 (For that man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)”
Don’t let your Finances Make you Miserable – 13:6
Don’t let your Friends Make you Miserable! – 13:7
Don’t let your Feelings Make you Miserable – 13:9-12
