The Weekend - Do You Know How to Speak a Blessing into Someone's Life?

Do you know how to bless your kids, or anyone else for that matter?

I'm not talking about how to be a blessing. I'm talking about speaking a blessing that shapes the trajectory of another person's life.

If you are a blessing in someone's life, you can speak a blessing into their life.  

It doesn't require great verbal ability or imagination, but it does require thought, reflection, and intentionality. 

I have to admit, I've missed countless opportunities to bless my kids, the kids I've mentored through Kids Hope, friends, and others because I didn't understand how it works. 

But right in the middle of my sermon preparation it hit me. I realized what I've been missing all along. Thankfully it's never too late to start. 

Join us this weekend as we look at Genesis 27 and the account of Isaac blessing Jacob. The passage will be full of surprises, even for those who've read it a thousand times. 

Is there someone you can invite? Someone who would find value in learning how to speak a blessing into the lives of those they love? 

10 Tweets on “God Reaffirms the Covenant” (Genesis 25:19-26; 26:1-6; 28:10-22)

Here's last weekend’s sermon in 10 Tweets in our “The Story Begins (The Gospel Project)" series.

1/ God keeps his promises in unusual ways, and he asks his people to trust him in the process.

2/ Every time you wonder why God’s allowing something…he’s calling you to remember that he keeps his promises in unusual ways. 

3/ God keeps his promises to unworthy people.

4/ John Stott “Grace is love…which stoops & sacrifices & serves, love which is kind to the unkind & generous to the ungrateful & undeserving.”

5/ Only unworthy people who acknowledge their unworthiness receive God’s promises.

6/ God keeps his promises by offering us his presence. 

7/ The ultimate blessing from God is the blessing of God. 

8/ The promise of God’s presence isn’t first about warming our souls; it’s first about igniting our mission.

9/ The promise of God’s presence is a gift to us who are his people.

10/ In your life with God, is it ultimately about God’s perks or God’s presence?
