Genesis 24:56-67

Jan 4, 2026    Bruce Gordon

This sermon explores God's unconditional love through the narrative of Isaac and Rebekah's marriage in Genesis 24. Pastor Bruce Gordon emphasizes that the Bible is fundamentally a revelation of God's heart, not merely a collection of stories or rules. Using the marriage covenant as a metaphor, the message illustrates how God pursues a deep, intimate relationship with His people. Abraham represents God the Father, his servant Abimelech represents the Holy Spirit, Isaac represents Jesus Christ, and Rebekah represents the Church—the bride of Christ. The central theme is that salvation is not about works, obligations, or conditional responses, but about accepting God's love wholeheartedly and responding with a simple "I will go." The sermon challenges believers to move beyond intellectual understanding to a genuine heart relationship with God, emphasizing that when we truly grasp God's unconditional love, serving Him becomes a joy rather than a burden.
