“I will make you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great and you shall be a blessing.”
“It was foolish for Abraham to set out to a land that God would show him.”
Dustan Bell argues that God’s promises require human response: our faith and obedience determine how much of God’s blessing and advance we experience. Using Elisha and King Joash (2 Kings) and other biblical and real-life examples, he calls believers to be audacious, proactive and persevering.
“Reference to God's call to Abraham — 'Go.'”
A Sunday service focused on the Great Commission and becoming a healthier church: worship and communion, a reminder to give as worship, then a sermon on Matthew 28 emphasizing the summons to return to Jesus, the declaration that Christ has all authority, and the commission to make disciples—baptize and teach obedience—followed by practical application: discipleship is lifelong, church health depends on loving God and people, expect persecution, rely on the Holy Spirit, and commit to partnership with God in evangelism and local mission.
“He references Genesis 12:1-2: 'leave your country... I will make thee a great nation and I will bless thee.'”
A Deeper Church LA Sunday message teaching from Abraham (Genesis 15) on having 'vision for more' and practical steps to unlock the next season: expand exposure, elevate perspective, and exercise faith—paired with worship, community celebration (graduates), calls to give, and invitations for salvation and church membership.
“God's covenant to Abraham to make him a great nation and call him to leave his homeland.”
Brandon Paris preaches that the church's special mission—raising funds and sending disciples—is worth sacrificial commitment. He argues Christians are "saved to send," rooted in the new covenant and the Great Commission, and that sacrifice (not minimal giving) proves and advances genuine faith. He calls the congregation to active, sacrificial participation (including giving and personal evangelism) and to trust God by testing Him in their giving.
“"I'm going to make you a blessing" — the purpose of God's blessing is distribution, not accumulation.”

“I will make you a great nation. I will bless you and make your name great and you shall be a blessing.”
A sermon on the Parable of the Rich Fool that warns against identifying ourselves with possessions, reminds believers that earthly resources are temporary, and calls Christians to steward what God gives for the blessing of others rather than hoarding it for self. The speaker uses personal stories and practical questions to challenge listeners to trade obsession with wealth for trust in God and generosity toward people.
“God called him out with a promise, 'I'll make you a great nation.'”
A sermon using the Jairus story to teach that God's timing often requires patient, persistent faith: God may delay even when it's 'your turn,' but He is present, able, and working—so trust, stay, and measure struggles by the strength of the Savior.
“I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will make your name great... I will bless those that bless you and anyone who dishonors you I will curse; in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
A Bible study on God’s ‘‘unstoppable kingdom’’ that explores Acts 19’s account of new believers renouncing occult practices and shows how a prevailing, kingdom-centered faith—modeled by Abraham and grounded in the church—enables believers to overcome sin, receive God’s provision, and walk in victory.
“'I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing... in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.'”

“See in verse six, he passed through the land into the place of Sikkim, onto the plain of Moray, and the Canaanite was in the land.”
A Bible-study sermon based on Numbers 13 that frames spiritual warfare as primarily a battle over self-perception. The speaker contrasts fear-filtered interpretations of facts with a faith-filtered posture (exemplified by Caleb and Joshua), calls the church to embrace an identity rooted in God's promises, and issues practical calls to prayer, evangelism, stewardship, and readiness to possess the promised land (including a local property initiative).
