Genesis 24
Skip Heitzig
Genesis 24 (NKJV™) | |
1 | Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age; and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things. |
2 | So Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, "Please, put your hand under my thigh, |
3 | "and I will make you swear by the LORD, the God of heaven and the God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell; |
4 | "but you shall go to my country and to my family, and take a wife for my son Isaac." |
5 | And the servant said to him, "Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I take your son back to the land from which you came?" |
6 | But Abraham said to him, "Beware that you do not take my son back there. |
7 | "The LORD God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my family, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, 'To your descendants I give this land,' He will send His angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there. |
8 | "And if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be released from this oath; only do not take my son back there." |
9 | So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter. |
10 | Then the servant took ten of his master's camels and departed, for all his master's goods were in his hand. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor. |
11 | And he made his camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at evening time, the time when women go out to draw water. |
12 | Then he said, "O LORD God of my master Abraham, please give me success this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham. |
13 | "Behold, here I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water. |
14 | "Now let it be that the young woman to whom I say, 'Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,' and she says, 'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink'--let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And by this I will know that You have shown kindness to my master." |
15 | And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her pitcher on her shoulder. |
16 | Now the young woman was very beautiful to behold, a virgin; no man had known her. And she went down to the well, filled her pitcher, and came up. |
17 | And the servant ran to meet her and said, "Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher." |
18 | So she said, "Drink, my lord." Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand, and gave him a drink. |
19 | And when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking." |
20 | Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough, ran back to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels. |
21 | And the man, wondering at her, remained silent so as to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not. |
22 | So it was, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden nose ring weighing half a shekel, and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels of gold, |
23 | and said, "Whose daughter are you? Tell me, please, is there room in your father's house for us to lodge?" |
24 | So she said to him, "I am the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah's son, whom she bore to Nahor." |
25 | Moreover she said to him, "We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge." |
26 | Then the man bowed down his head and worshiped the LORD. |
27 | And he said, "Blessed be the LORD God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken His mercy and His truth toward my master. As for me, being on the way, the LORD led me to the house of my master's brethren." |
28 | So the young woman ran and told her mother's household these things. |
29 | Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban, and Laban ran out to the man by the well. |
30 | So it came to pass, when he saw the nose ring, and the bracelets on his sister's wrists, and when he heard the words of his sister Rebekah, saying, "Thus the man spoke to me," that he went to the man. And there he stood by the camels at the well. |
31 | And he said, "Come in, O blessed of the LORD! Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels." |
32 | Then the man came to the house. And he unloaded the camels, and provided straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him. |
33 | Food was set before him to eat, but he said, "I will not eat until I have told about my errand." And he said, "Speak on." |
34 | So he said, "I am Abraham's servant. |
35 | "The LORD has blessed my master greatly, and he has become great; and He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys. |
36 | "And Sarah my master's wife bore a son to my master when she was old; and to him he has given all that he has. |
37 | "Now my master made me swear, saying, 'You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell; |
38 | 'but you shall go to my father's house and to my family, and take a wife for my son.' |
39 | "And I said to my master, 'Perhaps the woman will not follow me.' |
40 | "But he said to me, 'The LORD, before whom I walk, will send His angel with you and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son from my family and from my father's house. |
41 | 'You will be clear from this oath when you arrive among my family; for if they will not give her to you, then you will be released from my oath.' |
42 | "And this day I came to the well and said, 'O LORD God of my master Abraham, if You will now prosper the way in which I go, |
43 | 'behold, I stand by the well of water; and it shall come to pass that when the virgin comes out to draw water, and I say to her, "Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink," |
44 | 'and she says to me, "Drink, and I will draw for your camels also,"--let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master's son.' |
45 | "But before I had finished speaking in my heart, there was Rebekah, coming out with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her, 'Please let me drink.' |
46 | "And she made haste and let her pitcher down from her shoulder, and said, 'Drink, and I will give your camels a drink also.' So I drank, and she gave the camels a drink also. |
47 | "Then I asked her, and said, 'Whose daughter are you?' And she said, 'The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the nose ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists. |
48 | "And I bowed my head and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the way of truth to take the daughter of my master's brother for his son. |
49 | "Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. And if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left." |
50 | Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, "The thing comes from the LORD; we cannot speak to you either bad or good. |
51 | "Here is Rebekah before you; take her and go, and let her be your master's son's wife, as the LORD has spoken." |
52 | And it came to pass, when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he worshiped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth. |
53 | Then the servant brought out jewelry of silver, jewelry of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and to her mother. |
54 | And he and the men who were with him ate and drank and stayed all night. Then they arose in the morning, and he said, "Send me away to my master." |
55 | But her brother and her mother said, "Let the young woman stay with us a few days, at least ten; after that she may go." |
56 | And he said to them, "Do not hinder me, since the LORD has prospered my way; send me away so that I may go to my master." |
57 | So they said, "We will call the young woman and ask her personally." |
58 | Then they called Rebekah and said to her, "Will you go with this man?" And she said, "I will go." |
59 | So they sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and Abraham's servant and his men. |
60 | And they blessed Rebekah and said to her: "Our sister, may you become The mother of thousands of ten thousands; And may your descendants possess The gates of those who hate them." |
61 | Then Rebekah and her maids arose, and they rode on the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and departed. |
62 | Now Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he dwelt in the South. |
63 | And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening; and he lifted his eyes and looked, and there, the camels were coming. |
64 | Then Rebekah lifted her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she dismounted from her camel; |
65 | for she had said to the servant, "Who is this man walking in the field to meet us?" The servant said, "It is my master." So she took a veil and covered herself. |
66 | And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done. |
67 | Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death. |

In most parts of the world, the methods of dating and marriage have changed dramatically over the past 4000 years. Arranged marriages, family involvement and dowries are foreign to our culture where online dating is becoming the norm. As we consider the way Isaac and Rebekah were brought together, we will discover timeless principles to apply to the modern dating game. We'll also uncover a deeper spiritual message as we examine the foundations of their relationship.
The book of Genesis is rich with theology including creation, the fall of man, and justification by grace through faith. Genesis, the book of beginnings, provides foundational truths from which we can learn who God is and how He operates in the lives of His people.
In this study of Genesis, Pastor Skip Heitzig presents an in-depth examination and fresh perspective of familiar stories like the creation, Adam & Eve, Noah and the Flood, the call of Abraham, and Sodom and Gomorrah. This series offers solid information to equip believers with truth in today's battle against the lies of evolution, the basic goodness of man, and a "fairy tale" approach to the Bible.

Info Message Summary Mankind is confused about the origin of man. Sadly, many of the world's most intelligent minds embrace the lie of evolution. But man did not accidentally evolve from primordial soup. We are God's crowning creation, a result of His intricate design. |

Genesis 3 Genesis 3 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the boastful pride of life are the oldest tricks in the book. Just as Satan deceived Eve into believing God was holding out on her, we too can be tempted to believe that what God has forbidden is the key to our fulfillment. Can God be trusted? In this message we learn that while the consequences of disobedience are disastrous, the Lord has a plan for our redemption. |

Genesis 4-5 Genesis 4-5 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary Though death was not God's original plan for His creation, through the sin of Adam, death entered the entire human race and has reigned ever since. As we explore the 1500 years of history covered in Chapters 5 and 6 of Genesis, the fruit of sin is evident. We'll discover that from the murder of Abel through the descendants of Cain, love of self ruled in the hearts of men, but those in Christ must rule over sin and let the love of God be our motivation. |

Info Message Summary When Jesus told His disciples about His second coming, He said, "But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be." In this message we'll examine the world conditions at the time of the flood and see how the world has fallen back to similar depravity. We'll also uncover exciting parallels between God's plan of salvation of Noah through the flood and His plan to deliver His children from the coming tribulation. |

Genesis 7-8 Genesis 7-8 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary After 120 years of diligent, obedient preparation for the coming deluge, Noah received God's invitation to board the ark. It must have been a difficult, yet exciting time for Noah and his family; the animals entered the enormous ship, the door was closed behind them, and the rain began to fall. Soon, floodwaters covered the entire planet, and eight souls and the animals on the ark were all that remained. Why is it important to understand the worldwide nature of the flood? How should this ancient cataclysm affect our lives and our view of the coming judgment? |

Info Message Summary Man is the crown of creation made in the image of God, but from the time of creation through the flood mankind was growing more and more corrupt.

Info Message Summary The listing of genealogies recorded in scripture is, at times, difficult. What is the significance of such a detailed account? How are we to apply this information to our lives? Through this meticulous record of the descendants of Noah, God demonstrates His interest in people, His faithfulness to His promise, and His isolation of the people group through whom Messiah would come. |

Info Message Summary All of us make mistakes; we falter and fail in our relationships with the Lord and with others. Abram was no different, but by God's mercy he is the Father of them that believe. As we examine his life and the lives of those around him, we'll see that they encountered trials and temptations not so different from our own. Let's take a look at the differences between godly Abram and worldly Lot, and avoid the hazards of flirting with temptation. |

Genesis 16-17 Genesis 16-17 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary It's a common problem; trusting our feelings rather than trusting the Lord. But feelings are misleading, and as we learn from Abram and Sarai, trying to help God fulfill His promises can be costly. Their spiritual detour from the will of God produced ramifications we are experiencing today. God is faithful however to fulfill His promises, His plan is perfect, and His will will be accomplished. |

Info Message Summary The topic of God's judgment makes some people squirm. Believing that God is loving, gracious, merciful and kind often comes easier than viewing Him as Judge. As we investigate the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah we'll come to terms with the necessity of His judgment. We'll also be reminded that God is in the business of redemption, and that He dealt with the sin of those who believe at the cross of Calvary. |

Info Message Summary As believers we are new creations in Christ, however, we still carry around our old nature; the battle between the spirit and the flesh is a struggle for all of us. As we consider the life of Abraham, we see him fall once again into a familiar sin. The consequences of his choices are damaging, hurting others and ruining his testimony before unbelievers. But as we'll see in our text, God is faithful, and causes all things to work together for good for those who love Him and who are called according to His purpose. |

Genesis 21:9-22:14 Genesis 21:9-22:14 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary It can be challenging for us to line up our behavior with the teachings of Scripture. Biblical principles are often contrary to our human nature, and obedience can be uncomfortable. As we examine the profound testing of Abraham's faith, we must ask ourselves, "Am I willing to do what is difficult?" As we walk in obedience to the Lord, our faith is developed and our relationship with Him is strengthened. |

Abraham died full, not merely in quantity of years and physical blessings, but in satisfaction and relationship with the Lord. As we take a look at his final years and the legacy he left behind, we'll be reminded of what's really important in life, and be challenged to consider our own priorities and our spiritual birthright. |

Join us as we peek into the life of Isaac and get another glimpse of our God who is rich in mercy and faithful to his promises. |

Info Message Summary Isaac's family was plagued by distrust and scheming, but a dysfunctional family is no match for the sovereign hand of God. In spite of the continuing battle between Jacob and Esau, and the deceptive habits that have been passed down for generations, the Lord's plan will not be thwarted. His ways are not our ways, and He causes all things to work together for good for those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. |

Though Jacob is not deserving of blessing, the grace of God was poured into his life. Though we may reap what we sow, God's grace is sufficient for us. |

Info Message Summary During the difficult days following 9-11, our country experienced a deeper sense of community and spiritual renewal. The tragedy served as a wakeup call; in spite of our prosperity, we are not immune to pain. Often, the Lord gets a hold of us in the midst of suffering; we may endure steady adversity so that we always depend on Him. Let's look again at the life of Jacob as he comes to another turning point on his spiritual journey where he learns that when he is weak, he is made strong. |

Jacob's passive parenting and dysfunctional family result in an ungodly reaction to the rape of his daughter, Dinah. Let's examine profound spiritual truths, learn important principles to apply to our own families, and renew our hope in the grace of God. |

As we dive into our text, we'll see that while Jacob lingered far away from God for a time, he renews his commitment to the God of second chances. |

Joseph Looks A Lot Like Jesus Genesis 37 Skip Heitzig |
Info Message Summary We've all been told that we look like someone else. Often members of the same family carry a strong resemblance to one another. Joseph reminds us of someone else: Jesus. As we explore their similarities, we'll be challenged with two crucial questions. How much do we resemble Jesus Christ? Do we look like our Heavenly Father? |

Info Message Summary The contrast between Joseph and his brothers is great. Nothing bad is recorded about Joseph, but his brothers' lives are a mess. Joseph was faithful; his brothers were failures. Joseph had rock solid integrity; his brothers practiced wretched morality. Yet in the midst of it all, the Holy Spirit worked behind the scenes, using the most unlikely people to bring the Messiah into the world. |
