Abraham’s Promises (Genesis 12)

We continue in Genesis with a voice and a promise. God calls Abram an old man with no children and nothing special about him. God calls him to leave everything familiar behind: his country, his people, his father’s household. In return, God offers nothing tangible, just a promise: I will bless you, and through you, I will bless the whole world. Abram goes. But Genesis 12 doesn’t let us romanticize that obedience as before the chapter ends, Abram’s faith wavers under pressure in Egypt. This week we open our new series tracing the story of Abraham, and ask what faith looks like. The post Abraham’s Promises (Genesis 12) appeared first on Village Church - Kelvin Grove.
