Part 3 in Pastor Brent’s sermon series “The Promises of God,” today’s featured historical person is Abraham, the man of faith (Gal. 3:9). After opening quotes from theologians Dr. Kevin Vanhoozer (b. 1957) and Dietrich Bonhoeffer (1906-1945), Pastor Brent contrasts the sinful striving for security, blessing and identity at the Tower of Babel (Gen. 11:4) with the LORD’s promise of security, blessing and identity to Abraham in Gen. 12:1-3. The faith of Abraham was sealed in Gen. 15:1-6 when the LORD further revealed His presence and His word.
