    Abraham was fully human, but he was also a man of God. He was a part of something bigger than himself.

    ABRAHAM’S JOURNEY OF FAITH Genesis 12:1-20 Joe Stowell, the president of Moody Bible Institute, tells about his experience watching the Olympics. He writes, “In 1980, America’s economy was in the ditch. The Cold War was in its fury. Russia seemed bigger, more powerful than us, and America ...read more

    God's Call Series

    This begins with the historical evidence from the ancient kingdom of Ebla that validates the life of Abraham and then I will look at God’s call. How He used Abram’s humanity, weakness and faith to open the door of God’s purpose.

    God’s Call Genesis 11 ends with the genealogy leading up to Abram (later Abraham). Terah took his son Abram and his wife Saria, and grandson Lot and headed toward Canaan. They did not get to Canaan, but dwelled in the city of Haran (which is probably named after Abram’s brother who died after he ...read more

    Abraham: The Call

    Contributed by Tammy Garrison on Jul 11, 2001

     | 29,516 views

    The call of Abraham is addressed in three elements contained in the following statement: ’God calls ordinary people.’

    There’s a children’s Bible song called “Father Abraham.” The words speak of Abraham having many children, and also speaks of you and I being Abraham’s children. It reminds me of a couple back home. They adopted two children because they believed they couldn’t have any biologically, but then they ...read more

    What a scoundrel Abraham appeared when he took his eye off the ball.

    Hijacked I want to go on to Gen 12:10-20 and Gen 13. 14. What happened when they got to the Promised Land? 1 How come Abraham did not remain in the Promised Land.

    1. The Mission Abraham as rightly been called the Father of all who believe.

    based on 40 ratings
     | 4,808 views

    Let’s make a space for ourselves as well as a place for God, to mark the realisation of God’s very presence and the recognition of God’s voice.

    LET’S BUILD AN ALTAR “Abram built an altar there to the Lord” (Genesis 12: 8). Abram was asked of God to leave behind all that he had known, his country, his relatives and his home (Genesis 12: 1). Abram was asked by God to become a immigrant and a nomad. There are many who have left behind ...read more

    We learn from the story of the Tower of Babel the futility of trying to make a name for ourselves.

    I. Making a name We see in the first chapters of Genesis that people basically chose one of two paths. A few of them humbled themselves and followed God, trusting in him and his protection. Such were the descendents of Seth. The other group was principally the descendents of Cain. These ...read more

    based on 10 ratings
     | 5,038 views

    Abram’s faith and selflessness in dealing with Lot is an example to us when it comes to giving to God. This was Self-Denial Sunday for an offering given to missions.

    The Gift of Giving Up – Genesis 13:1-18 In August 1994, a Korean air jet skidded across a rain-soaked runway and rammed into a safety barricade in Cheju, Korea. All 160 passengers escaped to safety, just moments before the plane exploded into flames. So what caused this near tragedy? According to ...read more

    By faith Abraham obeyed the call of God; by faith Abraham patiently waited for the promise of God.

    THE LIFE OF FAITH IS THE ONLY LIFE THAT PLEASES GOD. “What is faith? It is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot see” (Hebrews 11:1, NLT). Abraham OBEYED a GOD he had never seen. Abraham PATIENTLY WAITED for a CITY he had ...read more

    When God speaks to us to do something, we often fear the risk of the invitation. Sometimes we refuse to take the first step because of not knowing the entire plan. What can we do about the invitation He gives us?
