called to obedience
Mick Da Silva
(Audio: Spanish)
SUMMARY: The author discusses the call of Abraham in Genesis chapter 12, noting that Abraham was called to leave his country, kindred, and father's house to go to the land that God would show him. The author emphasizes the importance of having defined goals in life and notes that Abraham's obedience was necessary to fulfill God's plan for him and for humanity. The author also mentions that God's promise to Abraham required radical obedience and that sometimes we may not know the details of God's plan for us but should trust in His guidance. The author encourages readers to question God not only for the reasons behind their own situations but also for the benefit of others.
The sermon focuses on Abraham's call and the principles that he followed to fulfill God's purpose. The first principle is obedience, which involves trusting God and following his plan even if it may not directly benefit us. The second principle is detachment, which requires abandoning all ties and idols that prevent us from moving forward in God's plan. The third principle is being a blessing to others, as God calls us to bless the nations and establish eternal covenants. Ultimately, the sermon urges us to have faith in God's power and trust in his protection to reach our divine purpose.
The sermon discusses the story of Abraham and how his obedience to God's call led to his being blessed and becoming a blessing to others.

Genesis chapter 12. In addition to the call to obedience, there is a whole course in Abraham's life that I would love to have about 5 hours today to develop that with you. I promise I won't stay 5 hours. But I'm passionate about that man. A man who received a different call, a direct call, a call that had no room for doubt, that's how Abraham was.
And chapter 12 begins by saying, “but Jehovah had said to Abraham, at this time his name was not yet Abraham, it was Abram. Jehovah had said to Abraham, “Go from your country and from your kindred and from your father's house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation and I will bless and magnify your name and you will be a blessing. And I will bless those who bless you and those who curse you I will curse, and all the families of the earth will be blessed in you.”
