Hoje, o ateu no mais aquele que no cr, mas aquele que no encontra - - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

“Hoje, o ateu não é mais aquele que não crê, mas aquele que não encontra relevância para Deus na sua rotina. O novo ateísmo não precisa negar a fé; apenas cria substitutos para ela. Mantém o crente na igreja, mas longe do seu Salvador.”

— Ricardo Barbosa

“Today, the atheist is no longer the

• ne who does not believe in God but

the one who finds no relevance in God for his daily life. The new atheism doesn’t need to deny the faith; it only creates substitutes for

• it. It keeps the believer in the

church, but away from his Saviour.”

— Ricardo Barbosa

“When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

— Luke 18.8

“Quando o Filho do homem vier, encontrará fé na terra?”

— Lucas 18.8

ABRAHAM

THE FATHER OF FAITH

40 75 188

Why is Abraham the Father of Faith? What can we learn with Abraham about living by faith?

1 Então o Senhor disse a Abrão:

“Saia da sua terra, do meio dos seus parentes e da casa de seu pai, e vá para a terra que eu lhe mostrarei.

2 “Farei de você um grande povo, e

• abençoarei. Tornarei famoso o seu

nome, e você será uma bênção. GÊNESIS 12.1-4

3 Abençoarei os que o abençoarem e

amaldiçoarei os que o amaldiçoarem; e por meio de você todos os povos da terra serão abençoados”.

4 Partiu Abrão, como lhe ordenara o

Senhor, e Ló foi com ele. Abrão tinha setenta e cinco anos quando saiu de Harã. GÊNESIS 12.1-4

1 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go

from your country and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you.

2 And I will make of you a great

nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. GENESIS 12.1-4

3 I will bless those who bless you,

and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

4 So Abram went, as the Lord had

told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. GENESIS 12.1-4

1 Now the Lord said to Abram…

GENESIS 12.1-4 BABEL ABRAM THE FLOOD

1 Now the Lord said to Abram…

GENESIS 12.1-4 THE FLOOD God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. Genesis 9.1

And they said to one another, “Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly.” And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar. Then they said, “Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for

• urselves, lest we be dispersed over

the face of the whole earth.” Genesis 11.3-4

Babel:

they SAID to one another… Come, let us build

• urselves a city…

let us make a name for

• urselves…

the Lord SAID to Abram… I will make of you a great nation… I will bless you and make your name great…

MAN GOD Abram:

A fé não é aquilo que leva Deus a me ouvir, mas aquilo que me leva a ouvir Deus. Faith is not what causes God to hear me, but what leads me to listen to God.

First truth about faith:

1 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go

from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you… So Abram went, as the Lord had told him. GENESIS 12.1-4

In other words:

Abram, come with me!

Abram did not know what was his destiny, but he knew he was not alone.

Two Movements:

LEAVING

(to say “no")

GOING FORWARD

(to say “yes”)

“Pela fé Abraão, quando chamado,

• bedeceu e dirigiu-se a um lugar que

mais tarde receberia como herança, embora não soubesse para onde estava

• indo. Pela fé peregrinou na terra prometida

como se estivesse em terra estranha; viveu em tendas… Pois ele esperava a cidade que tem alicerces, cujo arquiteto e edificador é Deus.”

— Hebreus 11.8-10

“By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was

• going. By faith he went to live in the

land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents… For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God.”

— Hebrews 11.8-10

A fé é a convicção e a firme decisão de andar com Deus. Faith is the conviction and the firm decision to walk with God.

Second truth about faith:

I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing… in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. GENESIS 12.1-4 BLESSED TO BLESS

The big question is not WHY we were chosen, but FOR WHAT we were chosen.

Viver pela fé significa ter a disposição de compartilhar sem medo o que Deus tem nos dado Living by faith means to be available to share without fear all the blessings God has given to us

Third truth about faith:

• Listening to God
• Walking with God
• Sharing the blessings from God

Living by faith:

“When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

— Luke 18.8

“Quando o Filho do homem vier, encontrará fé na terra?”

— Lucas 18.8
