Déjà vu All Over Again (Part 4)

Speaker: Pastor Joe Ricchuiti
Series: Déjà vu All Over Again, Genesis
Passage: Genesis 26:1-33

1.  God blesses Isaac (Genesis 26;12-14) in response to his obedience in staying in the land and not going down into Egypt.  God’s instructions in vv. 2 & 3 were to remain where he was and he obeyed (vs. 6).

2.  Isaac persisted in the land despite opposition and animosity. 

3.  If we achieve anything of worth it will come through persistence (not personality, not giftedness, not the right connections).

4.  We must persist in faith, persist in ministry, persist with people, persist in holiness and righteousness.

5.  Isaac achieved peace with his enemies through: honesty; diplomacy (must show restraint, Proverbs 17:9,27; 19:11); renewed fellowship; and humility (Biblical humility is not being a push-over or fawning or weak; it is powerful and strong; not pretending a wrong was not done but  exercising forgiveness in spite of the wrong done to us.
