GENESIS: GOD'S ELECTION OF ABRAM - Genesis 11:10-12:4a - Pastor Jim West

This sermon marks the one-year anniversary of a teaching series on the book of Genesis, emphasizing why the narrative of the Bible remains essential for sharing the gospel in a modern pluralistic culture. Pastor West introduces Abraham as a central historical figure, noting that over half the world’s population identifies him as a foundational father of faith. By examining the genealogies of Shem and Terah, the message illustrates how God selects ordinary, often flawed individuals from pagan backgrounds to fulfill a divine plan. The pastor argues that Abraham’s call serves as a representative model for believers, demonstrating that God does not require perfection but rather willingness and obedience. Ultimately, the text challenges the congregation to trust God's guidance and take active steps of faith to become a blessing to others in the coming year.Support the showThanks for listening!
