Gen 12:1-3: Abrahamic Covenant - With great blessings comes great responsibilities. God blesses & we bring it to the peoples of the world

That's the gist of the sermon today. The speaker relates it to the famous quote in Spiderman's world. He claimed that Spiderman probably took that line from the Bible :-)

The Abrahamic covenant is the start of a pattern that can be seen throughout Scriptures:

1. God desired to give the promised land to the Israelites (Blessing). But they need to get out of Egypt into the wilderness and step out in faith to conquer Canaan (Responsibility)

2. Daniel was a man of God with an excellent character (Blessing). So much so, the Babylonians envied him. He was thrown into a lion's den, but God shut the lion's mouth. He carried the king's duties with integrity & didn't compromise his faith (Responsibility)

At present, God wants to bless all the people of the world. Our responsibility is to bring the good news to all unreached people groups. Speaker said there are about 6,900 groups who haven't heard of the Gospel of Christ.
