November 10, 2025 – Where Are You Pitching Your Tent?
Sermon: 1764 Don't Be a Disgrace to Grace, Part 2
Pray Over This
“Then Lot chose for himself all the plain of Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated from each other. Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the plain and pitched his tent even as far as Sodom. But the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked and sinful against the LORD.”
Ponder This
Many love the message of grace, but do not learn the lesson of grace and live it out. That is how Lot struggled. He had a choice. When you look at this passage, it says, “And Lot chose . . .” That's the key right there. There was no prayer, no looking to God. Then we read, “Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom.” Why did Lot do this? For one thing, He wanted all that Sodom had to offer. It was unspeakably wicked, and yet there was an attraction.
We all must come to a point where we can humbly admit the world pulls on us. Jesus was tempted in all points like us. Even Jesus felt the pull of the world. There is constantly a pull on you. At every moment, you need to resist the pull of the world. What was pulling on Lot? The world with its money. The world with its busyness. The world with its pleasures. The world with its social life. Even coming from the family of God, Lot still looked to the way he wanted instead of where God was leading.
- What does it look like to look for where God is leading rather than determining your own way forward?
- How can you relate to Lot? In what ways do you feel the pull of the world?
Practice This
Consider the ways you feel pulled by the world. Tell those things to God and to an accountability partner..
