Imperfect Steps,
Faithful Partner
Learning Partnership
Guided my hands
Patient investment
God's Choice
God could have made perfect people
— but He didn't!
God's Invitation
Partnership, Not Passivity
Walking with God
Walking with God means:
Moving forward in relationship
Sharing pace and direction
Presence and proximity
Challenge
Where have you settled for "watching" instead of "walking"?
God's Surprising Choice
He Wants You
Cain
Personal conversations
Flawed thinking
Yet God did not destroy him
Seth
Not the firstborn, but chosen
Shem
Singled out not because of birth order,
but because of God's purpose
Faith & Obedience
Theological Importance
Abram
Chosen by grace, not spiritual pedigree
Remembered because he said YES
What will you be
remembered by?
God chooses the unlikely and ordinary
God's Mercy and Patience
He Doesn't Give Up
God's Pattern
Adam & Eve: Promise of Redemption
Cain: Warning & Protection
Noah: Judgment & Covenant
Babel: Redirection not Destruction
Babel's Lesson
Different languages
Slow down to understand
God wants us to listen and learn
The "Ouch Moment"
We want:
Control, not partnership
Comfort, not calling
Blessing, not boundaries
Examining Our Hearts
Self-sufficiency: Building your own tower?
Passivity: Waiting for God to do everything?
Selective Obedience: Stopping halfway?
Excuses: Using flaws as reasons not to serve?
The Call
Will You Partner With God?
Not to perfection, but to participation
Jesus Sits Beside Us
Doesn't expect perfect notes
Patiently walks with us
Step by step, note by note
Communion
The greatest act of partnership
Jesus came to walk with us, to suffer for us,
to make a way for us to be restored as His partners.
At This Table
A renewal of the partnership
God has always wanted
Not just a ritual, but a response
