The Challenge Of Fully Trusting God's Word Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on May 24, 2021

What makes Abraham so great? Abraham didn’t have any followers or disciples and he didn't write any books. He wasn’t a great teacher, politician, or a great warrior. In fact, the only real claim to fame Abraham really has is this: God chose him and made some very special promises to him.

Abraham is venerated among Jews, Muslims, and Christians. Yes, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam trace their roots back to this one man. Just how ...read more
