$5.00

In Genesis 11:10–32, the biblical record moves from the rebellion of Babel to the genealogy of Shem leading to Abram. At first glance, this passage may seem like little more than a list of names, but within this genealogy is a glorious testimony to the faithfulness of God. Even when nations rise and fall, truth is polluted, and the faithful drift away, God is still preserving His word and accomplishing His redemptive plan.

This sermon examines how God’s faithfulness is displayed throughout history, despite man’s corruption, and forever according to His word. From Shem to Abram, and ultimately from Abraham to Christ, Genesis 11:10–32 encourages believers to trust that God has been, is, and will forever be faithful to keep His promises and accomplish His saving purposes.

Forever Faithful is an expository sermon from Genesis 11:10–32 that considers the genealogy from Shem to Abram and the theological significance of this transition in the book of Genesis. After the rebellion at Babel, the biblical narrative narrows its focus from all the nations of the earth to the chosen line through whom God will bring His covenant promises to fulfillment.

This sermon shows that God remains faithful even when spiritual rebellion is rampant, when nations rise and fall, when the faithful drift away, and when the truth is polluted and confused. The passage reminds the church that God’s redemptive work does not depend on the strength, faithfulness, or wisdom of man, but on the sovereign faithfulness of God to remember His covenants and accomplish His will through His power.

The sermon concludes with encouragement from the missionary life of Adoniram Judson and the hymn “God Moves in a Mysterious Way,” calling believers to trust the Lord even when His providence seems hidden and His work appears slow.
