Family Mess: Wk 6, Encountering God in the Mess- Genesis 15

Preacher: Ben Folman Scripture: Genesis 15:1-7 After this, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision: "Do not be afraid, Abram.     I am your shield,     your very great reward." 2 But Abram said, "Sovereign Lord, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inheritc]">[c] my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?"3 And Abram said, "You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir." 4 Then the word of the Lord came to him: "This man will not be your heir, but a son who is your own flesh and blood will be your heir." 5 He took him outside and said, "Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be." 6 Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness. 7 He also said to him, "I am the Lord, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land to take possession of it."
