Genesis
Message: “The Qualities of Greatness” Genesis 46:8-47:26
Big Idea: God measures greatness by who we are not by what we have
or do. The world judges on the basis of externals, the Lord looks at the
heart.
I. THREE MEASURES OF GREATNESS
A.
In relationship to our FAMILY
1. The ability to LOVE deeply vs. 28-30
2. The willingness to IDENTIFY with them vs. 31-34
3. The HONORING of one’s parents
B. In relationship to our WORK
1. The ability to handle POWER
2. The WISDOM to rule well
3. The demonstration of INTEGRITY
C. In relationship to our GOD
1. The recognition that He is the SOURCE of our strength
2. The INTEGRATION of the spiritual into all of life
II. APPLICATION
Man’s APPROVAL is one thing, God’s APPROVAL is something
all together different. What are you SEEKING?
