Well, let me invite you to turn in your Bibles, this morning to Genesis chapter 4. Genesis chapter 4. we are doing a verse by verse study through the Book of Genesis, and as we continue our study this morning, we come to the last two verses of Genesis chapter 4, and my goal today will be to cover verses 25 and 26. And if you want to give a title to the message, it would be The Legacy of Seth, and here's the legacy, calling upon Jehovah's name.
Calling upon Jehovah's name. Let me start with a little biographical information about myself. When I was born, my parents named me Milton. and that's why you call me that.
they had a good reason for naming me Milton. They named me after a friend of theirs who had been very good to them when my mom and my dad had first got married. When my mom and dad were married in Hawaii, my dad was a brand new Christian and both my dad and my mom were far away from, family. And Milton, this friend of theirs, and his wife, Betty, took my dad and my mom under their wing and helped them in the early days of their marriage.
Essentially, Milton discipled my dad in his earliest days as a Christian. So when I was born, my parents named me Milton in honor of this man. That's a great story that I can appreciate now, but in my early years of growing up, I greatly disliked my name. primarily because people teased me a lot because of my name....
