Patriarchs, Prophets and Priests Part 10 — Abraham: Living By Faith Part 1

We are continuing the series called Patriarchs, Prophets and Priests and today, we are focusing on the person who best fits the profile. The book of Genesis declares that he was a prophet, but he is also the best candidate for patriarch. Abraham is considered the patriarch of the Jews; he is the beginning of the family tree for the Jewish people. Abraham heard the voice of the Lord speaking to him and got two verbs: leave and go. Leave family, nation and security — and go. Go where? Just leave and go, and I’ll show you the rest. There seemed to be an easy response: I’m not going, at least not until I get more information. Except for one thing: faith. Abraham was a man of faith, and the funny thing about faith in God is that, even when it’s all you’ve got, it’s also all you need.
