THE SCRIPTURE LESSON

Please open your Bible and read the story of Abraham and Abimelech in Genesis 20:1-18.

Scriptural Note: Some people never learn. This story recounts Abraham’s second attempt to pass off Sarah as his sister. Abraham must not have shared this embarrassing event with his son Isaac; or Abraham may even have bragged about the time without naming names. Because Genesis 26: 1-11, recounts Isaac attempting this same stunt with the same king! While he wasn’t immediately invited to leave the territory as Abraham had been in Egypt. This did apparently sour relations between Isaac and Abimelech because the king eventually did ask Isaac to leave (cf. 26:16).

Genesis 12:4-20, records Abraham’s first attempt at this stunt in Egypt, for which he was escorted out of the country.

THE MESSAGE Abraham’s lies and prejudice: the sins of the parent become the sins of the children. Adapted from: “When You Strike Out” Larry Sarver @ SermonCentral.Com

He was the Bambino, the Babe, the Sultan of Swat, the most amazing slugger baseball had ever seen. He was the New York Yankees' single greatest draw. All through unbelievable 1920 and 1921 seasons, huge crowds erupted into bedlam at the sight of him. Then, suddenly, it was all over. 1922 was the worst year of Babe’s career. First delayed from starting the sea-son because of his previous post season barnstorming activities, Babe seemed listless and lost for the whole year. Even though he still hit 35 homeruns that year, which was much less than his usual number, several times he was ejected from games, even fined for arguing with the umpires and fighting with fans who were now jeering every time he came to the plate. By the end of the season, the sports scribes had already written his obituaries. At age 29, it was agreed, George Herman Ruth was washed up. https://www.nydailynews.com/new-

york/babe-ruth-beat-slump-return-baseball-homerun-king-article-1.801626

But next year things turned completely around for Babe. In 1923 his batting and homerun averages returned to normal and even better; in 1927, he hit a record 60 homeruns. Babe continued playing ball for a total of 22 seasons until bad health forced him to retire in 1935. He held a 39 year record for a career total of 714 homeruns and he is still considered by many to be the greatest baseball player of all time. “It wasn’t that he hit more home runs than anybody else,” said 1976 Spink Award winner Red Smith, “he hit them better, high-er, farther, with more theatrical timing and a more flamboyant flourish.” It was a good thing Babe didn’t listen to the boo’s and hang up his bat and glove in 1922.

“Boos” are almost always what we can expect from fickle fans when we strike out - when we don’t achieve the success that others expect of us, but how does God respond to our failures? How will God treat us even after we repeatedly failed in the Christian Life?

These are important questions because we all have had times when we struck out. Sometimes we have had repeated moral failures. Sometimes our faith has not aced the test; we have failed to live up to our calling from God.

How does God respond when we strike out? This is a question that Abraham can answer for us because our Bible not only records how God guided Abe during his greatest moments of faith, but also what God did during his worst moments of lack of faith, prejudice and downright deceitfulness.

The account found in Genesis 20 of Abraham passing off Sarah as his sister, records not the first but the sec-ond time when God both forgave and even covered for Abraham during one of his worst failures at faith and truthfulness.

3

Genesis, chapter 12, records the first time Abraham tried this stunt. If I were trying to stay consecutive in this “All the Stories of the Bible” series, I perhaps should have started there today. But this record in chapter 20 of Abraham’s second major failure in faith and honesty is so much richer in detail that I decided to put both accounts together.

In Genesis, chapter 12, we read that Abe had gone to the promised land as he was told to by God. But the land was infested with Canaanites (descendants of Canaan) who practiced a degenerate form of fertility reli-gion – complete with temple prostitutes. There was also a famine in the region. So, even though God ap-peared and assured him a second time while he was in the promised land, Abraham kept on walking down to Egypt.

There, not trusting the Egyptians to be honorable, he passed off Sarah as his sister. Seeing that she was beautiful, Pharaoh paid Abe a luxurious bride price and took her for himself. But God afflicted Pharaoh’s household with disease until he divined that Sarah was a wedded woman and returned her while chastising Abraham for his lack of honesty and morality and then kicking him out of Egypt. But for whatever reason, Pharaoh let him keep the bride price which made Abraham very rich.

Strike one: Abraham didn’t stay in the land as he had been told to Strike two: Abraham was prejudiced (he prejudged the Egyptians without trusting God to bless him: Strike three: He lied about his marriage to Sarah, both jeopardizing God’s promise and causing illness to

plague an innocent family.

But God covered for him. Inflicting Pharaoh while protecting Sarah and Abraham and even enriching them through the process.

Perhaps letting Abe keep the bride price did not improve his efforts at honesty because 25 years later, in fact in the same year that God had promised them a son “by next year,” and immediately after the events of Sodom and Gomorrah, Abraham again moved to a region out-side of the promised land; to the Philistine town of Gerar which was ruled by King Abimelech, where he again tried to pass off Sarah as his sister.

Strike one: Abraham again didn’t stay in the land as he had been told to Strike two: Abraham again was prejudiced. Yes the Canaanites in the land were crude and immoral, but had not God protected him now for 24 years? Nevertheless Abe treated this Philistine culture with the same distrust as he did the Canaanites; again not trusting God to bless him in this new location. Strike three: He again lied about his marriage to Sarah, again jeopardizing God’s promise and causing illness to plague an innocent people.

This occurrence with Abimelech makes Abraham a repeat offender. Abraham has been in this situation before and has failed before. Perhaps you can identify with Abraham here because the same struggles and the same failures keep turning up in your own life, even long after you may have believed they were gone or overcome. When you’re in a situation like this you may wonder how God will respond to your repeated failures. You may doubt God’s love for you and expect to be pulled from the game or even kicked off the team because of your spiritual strikeouts.

I’ve got good news for you and me because especially from this story we can see how God really responds even when we repeatedly strikeout. God responds with grace! He does this four ways in particular.

First: When we strike out God still forgives us

Second: When we strikeout God still protects us

Third: When we strikeout God still blesses us

Fourth: When we strikeout God still uses us

4

From there Abraham journeyed toward the region of the Negeb, and settled between Kadesh and Shur. While residing in Gerar as an alien, 2Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.” And King Abimelech of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

Now we do not know why Abraham moved from where he was to the location in Gerar. We do know that this city is on the border of or just outside of the Promised Land and that it is ruled by a powerful king. In other words these are very similar circumstances to when Abraham had failed before and therefore he should have been even more alert to this temptation. That is a lesson for us also. You need to always be alert for sin but especially diligent when you know you’re in a situation where you are more likely to fail.

Abraham strikes out spiritually speaking because he once again lets his fears dictate his actions and there-fore he deceitfully claims that Sarah is his sister. As a result of his distrust and deceit the worst possible thing again happens - Abimelech takes Sarah to be one of his wives.

So how did God respond to Abraham’s now repeated moral failure?

First: When we strike out God still forgives us

This is not explicitly stated in the text, though it is in many other Bible references. Nevertheless we know that Abraham was forgiven because of the ways God responded to Abraham in the rest of the story. God protects him and then blesses him with material goods from Abimelech and then God has Abraham pray for Abimelech’s family to be healed. These acts all imply strongly that Abraham was forgiven and that his rela-tionship with God was still a healthy one.

This is good news for us! God’s grace forgives all of our failures, even when we are striking out a lot more than hitting home runs. He is rich in mercy. He is a unlimited in patience toward his people. He is always ready to restore us by forgiving us. Praise the Lord!

Second: When we strikeout God still protects us

Sometimes we may think that our disobedience means that we have forfeited all of God’s promises and pro-tection. We blew it and therefore we are on our own, is our way of thinking. Perhaps we disobeyed God’s word about finances and therefore find ourselves in a mess. We may think

that our failure to fully obey God would keep God from protecting us or delivering us. Perhaps we disobeyed God by lying and it is leading to or has led to a heap of trouble and we think God

won’t help us out because our sin got us there.

This is not true. God is a gracious God who still protects us despite our sins. This should not be interpreted to mean that there are no serious consequences to sin or disobedience (remember King David and Bathsheba). But in this case we see God’s protection and intervention in the next few verses.

But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, “You are about to die because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a married woman.” 4Now Abimelech had not approached her; so he said, “Lord, will you destroy an innocent people? 5Did he not himself say to me, ‘She is my sister’? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.’ I did this in the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands.” 6Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart; furthermore it was I who kept you from sinning against me. Therefore I did not let you touch her. 7Now then, return the man’s wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all that are yours.” (20:3-7)

God’s revelation to Abimelech in the dream makes very clear that God is very serious about marital purity. Adultery or fornication is no laughing matter or small matter as our society often views it or portrays it in the media. The punishment for marital unfaithfulness, under the law, was death and God tells Abimelech- "you’re as good as dead!"

Now Abimelech "had not approached Sarah ", which means he had not had marital relations with her, tech-nically speaking he had not committed adultery. So Abimelech appeals to the justice of God and says, "will you destroy an innocent people?"

5

Here we see very clearly that Abimelech understood that the sins of the leader of the nation have a great impact on the people being led. Abimelech reminds God that it was Abraham who had lied and that he had planned to marry Sarah with "the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands." In other words he was inwardly and technically not guilty of sin. Now God of course knew Abimelech’s heart, which was more righteous than Abraham had expected and therefore in his mercy kept Abimelech from sinning. But we can also see how God intervened to keep His promise to Abraham from being ruined. Abraham, like us, does not deserve this but God in his mer-cy protects us even when we fail to obey him. God gets us out of messes we create by our own disobedi-ence. Thank you Jesus!

First: When we strike out God still forgives us Second: When we strikeout God still protects us Third: When we strikeout God still blesses us Verse seven is surprising because God still considers Abraham a man of God, with God’s calling still on his life. We see that God tells Abimelech that Abraham "is a prophet" not "was a prophet." God still has plans to use Abraham, and all true believers, despite the fact that we may strike out repeatedly. In fact Abimelech is instructed to have Abraham " pray for you and you shall live."

We will see how God’s uses the believer despite their failures even more in verses 17, 18. But first, let’s look at how Abimelech and Abraham individually responded to God’s revelation.

8 So Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants and told them all these things; and the men were very much afraid. 9Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said to him, “What have you done to us? How have I sinned against you, that you have brought such great guilt on me and my kingdom? You have done things to me that ought not to be done.” 10And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What were you thinking of, that you did this thing?” 11Abraham said, “I did it because I thought, There is no fear of God at all in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife. 12Besides, she is indeed my sister, the daughter

of my father but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. 13And when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, I said to her, ‘This is the kindness you must do me: at every place to which we come, say of me, He is my brother.’“ Abimelech and his people have the opposite reaction that Abraham had expected. Abimelech’s obedience is prompt and the Bible says that they were "very much afraid." In other words they did fear God even though Abraham thought "surely there was no fear of God in this place." This tells us that the reason for Abraham disobedience and distrust was totally unnecessary! God had been watching out both for Abraham and for the king and his people all along. Abraham’s response to Abimelech demonstrates that it is only because of God’s continual grace and mercy that Abraham, or any of us, is chosen by God. Abraham does confess his sin but hardly in a forthcoming, whole hearted, or repentant manner. He basically justifies his sin by saying that Sarah really is his sister and that his safety while "wandering" in strange lands demanded such "white lies."

Aren’t you glad that God "does not treat us as our sins deserve!" (Psalm 103:10) In fact God responds to our failures with great grace. First: When we strike out God still forgives us Second: When we strikeout God still protects us Third: When we strikeout God still blesses us Fourth: When we strikeout God still uses us.

14Then Abimelech took sheep and oxen, and male and female slaves, and gave them to Abraham, and re-stored his wife Sarah to him. 15Abimelech said, “My land is before you; settle where it pleases you.” 16To Sarah he said, “Look, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; it is your exoneration before all who are with you; you are completely vindicated.” 17Then Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech, and also healed his wife and female slaves so that they bore children. 18For the LORD had closed fast all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham’s wife. Who sinned here? Abraham right? Yet it is Abraham who was blessed by God through Abimelech with cat-tle, sheep, servants, open land, and money. This makes sense only in light of God’s grace and mercy. God still blesses us despite our sins. I can attest to this in my own life. Even when I have failed and struggled, God has still answered my prayers, still provided for me financially, still healed my body, and still blessed me with His presence. I look at the blessings on my own life and can honestly say, "I’ve done nothing to deserve this and everything not to deserve this." I cannot understand it but I can certainly praise God for it.

Sometimes when I’ve really blown it I think, “well that does it. God can no longer use me.” But I have found that when we are truly repentant God is merciful, not only in forgiving us, but also in continuing to use us for His purposes.

We certainly see this principle at work in these last two verses. Abraham, the one who caused this mess to begin with, prays and God responds and heals Abimelech’s family. God still used Abraham in his role as a prophet and as a blessing to the nations despite his faults.

Isn’t it good to know that God doesn’t pull us from the game when we’re in a slump and keep striking out. He sticks with us, not because He has no choice, but rather because of His mercy and grace.

I hope you keep hitting many homeruns in your spiritual life but if you do find yourself in a spiritual slump you can keep your hopes up because even when you strikeout, repeatedly, God will still forgive, still pro-tect, still bless, and can still use you and me.

That’s something worth praying about isn’t it?

Prayer For the Week

Lord Jesus, You came into the world to heal our infirmities and to endure our sufferings. You went about healing all and bringing comfort to those in pain and need. We come before You now in this time of illness asking that You may be the source of our strength in body, courage in spirit and patience in pain. May we join ourselves more closely to You on the cross and in Your suffering that through them we may draw our patience and hope. Assist us and restore us to health so that united more closely to Your family, the Church, we may give praise and honor to Your name.

Heavenly Father, during this time of medical crisis we lift up prayers for our leaders and all those on the frontline of fighting this pandemic disease. Please be with and comfort all those families who have lost loved ones. Also be with and shelter our senior citizens and those who care for them.

Help our poorer families, our minimum wage workers to survive this time of lost wages and show us oppor-tunities where we can extend even greater generosity to those in need.

Thank You for the lesson we have learned from Abraham that in Your grace You continually forgive, bless, and use us even after our repeated failures. Help us to raise our own children by our example of honesty, courage, and faith that we live out in front of them.

Now help us to move through the demands of this week, the same way You taught us to pray, Our Father who are in heaven…. Amen.

MARCH CLERK’S CORNER

Session has voted to close all church activities through March 29th. They will meet again on March 25th to consider whether to extend the

closings. The Deacons have been assigned to weekly call shut-in members to see

if there are any additional needs they can meet. Can you see me now? If all goes as planned, not only will you be able

to read and/or hear the continuing “All The Stories of the Bible” Sunday sermons, but you may also be able to watch a modified worship service. Go to our website for the latest sermons: bedfordpresbyva.org

Kristy Milton, a commercial realtor who has done business in Bedford for many years, spoke to Session about the property at 112 Center Street. The presentation gave Session some ideas about dealing with the property.

John Blair was our commissioner to the February Presbytery meeting. Our own Loren Tate Mitchell led the worship service.

At the meeting, John voiced that the new mission statement needs to fund positions relating to communications and outreach as full-time. One position was changed and more changes are expected as the statement is reviewed at future meetings.

Sharing their expertise: our Deacons will hold a Presbytery Deacons Training on Saturday, September 26. Please help our Youth! The March Potluck, which has been cancelled, was to have been a

youth fund raiser. Please make a special contribution to Camps and Conferences. They’re coming back! The Churchmen will be giving a concert at our church on Saturday, August 8. Mark your calendars! For a music treat before that, remember that we will be having a Hymn Sing on Sunday, April 26. Spruced up: the Choir Room had its carpet and curtains cleaned. Check it out! If you would

like, you could make a special gift to reimburse this $250 expense. Coming soon! The church has been accepted for Gold Level in the GuideStar membership.

Once a profile is submitted, the church will be on the AmazonSmile contribution list. The church will also seek similar fundraising opportunities from Kroger, Food lion, and etc.

A big thank you is hardly enough—but do it, anyway! Jim Barefoot just completed an in-house audit for the church financial records for 2019. His judgment is that accounting functions are being handled properly. Our gratitude to Jim for performing the audit. Thanks also to Lana for helping him track down records and kudos for Paul Van Dyke for keeping us in line.

Dear Lord, we lift to You our concern for people who are more likely than others to become severely ill from this virus, the elderly and people with chronic health conditions.

Protect them from harm and be their comfort in this time of uncertainty. Protect us all from sickness and harm and if it is Your will, to dissipate this virus. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
