Camelot…….Really?
Our next series is one that I cannot wait to teach on! If you are frustrated with the cultural views of the “Modern Family” and it does not match what you always had dreamed of having….then this message is for you. If you look at your family and others around and feel like their is something missing……then this series is for you. If you desire to have a God honoring and therefore a great family experience….then this series is for you.
We are calling it Camelot…….royalty does not have to be fantasy.
Many people look at the sad shape of families around them and assume that is the best they can hope for! We have lost the genuine since that God designed the family and each role in it. A great family starts with how each person sees themselves and then the direction they choose to follow as they play their role in the family. Many of us dream of fairytale experiences…….in a sense we think of the idea of Camelot. Kings and Queens…..Prince and Princes!
I want to encourage you to be here each week for this very important series. Our families are in trouble these days! We have lost something! This series will try to tackle the reason behind the challenges and also provide the direction that leads to the kind of family we fantasize about! It is going to be direct and I believe life-changing for our families. Moreover, I am excited about our kids, teenagers and single adults hearing all we have to say. They can listen and then determine to be a person of Royalty and have a family that is not just a fantasy dream.
Plan to be here! Plan to be ME Share person and bring a friend!
Genesis 13
1 So Abram left Egypt and traveled north into the Negev, along with his wife and Lot and all that they owned. 2 (Abram was very rich in livestock, silver, and gold.) 3 From the Negev, they continued traveling by stages toward Bethel, and they pitched their tents between Bethel and Ai, where they had camped before. 4 This was the same place where Abram had built the altar, and there he worshiped the Lord again.
5 Lot, who was traveling with Abram, had also become very wealthy with flocks of sheep and goats, herds of cattle, and many tents. 6 But the land could not support both Abram and Lot with all their flocks and herds living so close together. 7 So disputes broke out between the herdsmen of Abram and Lot. (At that time Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land.)
8 Finally Abram said to Lot, “Let’s not allow this conflict to come between us or our herdsmen. After all, we are close relatives! 9 The whole countryside is open to you. Take your choice of any section of the land you want, and we will separate. If you want the land to the left, then I’ll take the land on the right. If you prefer the land on the right, then I’ll go to the left.”
10 Lot took a long look at the fertile plains of the Jordan Valley in the direction of Zoar. The whole area was well watered everywhere, like the garden of the Lord or the beautiful land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.) 11 Lot chose for himself the whole Jordan Valley to the east of them. He went there with his flocks and servants and parted company with his uncle Abram. 12 So Abram settled in the land of Canaan, and Lot moved his tents to a place near Sodom and settled among the cities of the plain. 13 But the people of this area were extremely wicked and constantly sinned against the Lord.
14 After Lot had gone, the Lord said to Abram, “Look as far as you can see in every direction—north and south, east and west. 15 I am giving all this land, as far as you can see, to you and your descendants[a] as a permanent possession. 16 And I will give you so many descendants that, like the dust of the earth, they cannot be counted! 17 Go and walk through the land in every direction, for I am giving it to you.”
18 So Abram moved his camp to Hebron and settled near the oak grove belonging to Mamre. There he built another altar to the Lord.
