Bargaining with God (7 of 7)
Series: Abraham: The Story of God’s Promise

Genesis 18:16-33
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you! As believers in Christ, we need not wait until the end of November to be thankful. You and I need to be grateful for God's righteous goodness all the time. And as we will see over the next few minutes, you and I need to be grateful for God's justice all the time.
If you have your Bibles, please turn to Genesis 18. Please bookmark Ezekiel 16 with me as well for we'll be there in a minute.
We continue our series on Abraham, but we turn from the story of the promise to Abraham's bargaining prayer for two cities. Cities are a big deal because half of the world's population currently lives in cities and this is expected to grow to sixty percent by 2030. I love Fort Worth and the city of North Richland Hills, Bedford, Hurst, and Haltom City. How would you rate the quality of a city? Some experts will rate the size of a city, or the amount of land it covers. Others will say you judge a city by it growth rate or economic prowess. More personally, you may like a city because of the fun things there are to do in the city - Top Golf, the nearby lake, or the movie theatre. Now, you may like your city (Haslet, Haltom City, NRH, or Hurst) because it's laid back, beautiful, or your favorite restaurant, beauty salon are near you. But God reveals a different way He measures cities. God uses a different yardstick to measure a city's progress.
Today's Scripture
Then the men set out from there, and they looked down toward Sodom. And Abraham went with them to set them on their way. 17 The Lord said, ''Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, 18 seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 For I have chosen him, that he may command his children and his household after him to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice ...
