To a Land I Will Show You

God called Abraham to leave everything he had ever known and follow Him into a land he had never seen. He was given no map, no destination, and no explanation—only a command to go and a promise that God would be with him.That is still the call of the gospel.In this episode of Between Sundays: The Podcast, we explore Genesis 12:1 and what Abraham’s journey teaches us about surrender, faith, and the intentional pursuit of God. Following Jesus requires us to come out of the life that once defined us, release the things that cannot come with us, and trust God with the destination.You cannot follow Jesus while remaining settled in the life He called you to leave.We’ll talk about:• Why Abraham had to leave his father’s house• How the things we carry from our old life can delay us• Why surrender must become a daily decision• The danger of allowing comfort and distraction to choke out fruitfulness• The difference between spiritual desire and actually seeking God• Why God delights in using weak, empty, and yielded vessels• The promise that God will be with us wherever He leads usGod is not looking for the most talented, impressive, powerful, or qualified. He is looking for those who are yielded and empty enough to be filled.------Want more content like this?
