Sermon from January 4

Abram and Lot
(Don't Pitch Your Tents Near Sodom)

Genesis 13

1. It became practical for Abram and Lot to part company. Abram let Lot choose where he wanted to live.
2. Lot chose what looked like the best place. It looked like the Garden of Eden.
3. Abram made his spot more blessed because he worshipped God as soon as he arrived.
4. We see selfishness in Lot's character. Why didn't he give Abram the best spot?
5. Lot pitched his tents near Sodom. Chapter 19 begins with Lot sitting in the gateway of the city -- and we learn he lived in a house inside the city.
6. Lot's choices looked best to him, but cost him his family.
7. We must choose between friendship with God and friendship with the world. 1 John 2: 15 - 17
