Sermon Notes
In Genesis 24 – A Bride for a King (Part 1), Abraham is aged, and as he faithfully seeks a wife for his son Isaac, God’s Word reveals a prophetic and powerful story pointing to God’s redeeming love for you. The pursuit of a bride for Isaac parallels God’s pursuit of you by His Holy Spirit in order to bring you to Jesus. If you have ever felt like God is angry with you, indifferent towards you, or doesn’t want you as His child, nothing could be further from the truth according to God’s Word. Don’t miss an encouraging message from Pastor David in Genesis 24 – A Bride for a King, and walk in the assurance of God’s love and pursuit of you.

A picture of the Holy Spirit GIVING SPIRITUAL GIFTS to the church
“God has given each of you a gift from His great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and power to Him forever and ever! Amen.”
The real Holy Spirit DRAWS ALL ATTENTION TO JESUS never to Himself
“When He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me (Jesus), for He will take of what is Mine (Jesus) and declare it to you.”
“These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”
Do not let your sinful flesh HINDER YOU from coming to Jesus
The Holy Spirit will not force you A CHOICE MUST BE MADE TO FOLLOW JESUS
