Beginnings: For His Name's Sake - Genesis 14

Abram takes a backseat in Genesis 14, as the larger world around him clashes. The established superpowers are faced with a rebellion from their vassal states - upstart nations like Sodom and Gomorrah. When Abram's nephew, Lot, becomes a prisoner of war, he joins the fight against the empire. Ultimately, this story foreshadows what is widely known all of these years later. Nobody remembers the kings and empires of 4000 years ago, but everyone knows who Abram was. His legacy outshines anyone's of his generation. Listen as we discuss how this reflects God's approach throughout history and emphasizes how He operates to this day.
