Faith Tested! Genesis 12:8-20

Pastor Rick continues a verse-by-verse study through the book of Genesis. Our faith is not a static thing. It changes, grows, and shrinks. As long as we are in this imperfect flesh our faith will be imperfect, but if we are going to live the best possible life, we must allow God to work on our faith. In this text Abram makes a very poor decision and jeopardizes the promises of God. God’s intervenes and God’s plan is resumed. Genesis is the book of beginnings. Within the fifty chapters that make up this fascinating book of the Old Testament God exercises His creative power to bring the universe into existence by simply telling it to do so. Later we will see the creation of a special people with the calling of Abram. The Law is given later. Sadly, sin mars God’s ‘very good’ creation and so we also see the creation of a plan to redeem mankind back to the One True God. This very old book is very relevant to today.
