Sermon Preached About Abraham

Acts 7:1-10
 
1  Then said the high priest, Are these things so? 
2  And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran, 
3  And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee. 
4  Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell. 
5  And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot on: yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his seed after him, when as yet he had no child. 
6  And God spake on this wise, That his seed should sojourn in a strange land; and that they should bring them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred years. 
7  And the nation to whom they shall be in bondage will I judge, said God: and after that shall they come forth, and serve me in this place. 
8  And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so Abraham begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat the twelve patriarchs. 
9  And the patriarchs, moved with envy, sold Joseph into Egypt: but God was with him, 
10  And delivered him out of all his afflictions, and gave him favour and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house.
