Repeat of the Past

 “Repeat of the Past” - Genesis 20

 I. Reset
Same situation, same response
Unfair Consequences: Whose fault is it, anyway?
Unfair Treatment: the favor of God

 II. The Worldly Christian
Repeats the same mistakes
Always returns to the worldly ways to solve the problem.
Instead of rising up to meet the challenge, find someone else to use.

 III. But for the Grace of God
God’s protection
God’s provision
God’s perseverance
Our redemption
Our Justification
Our exaltation

 IV. Application
Why do we so easily repeat the same mistakes?
How can we stop ourselves from repeating the same mistakes?
What is God’s part and what is our part in fighting the good fight so we won’t make the same mistake again?
How do you explain the seemingly unfair treatment in this narrative?
