Genesis 11:27-13:1
We begin our study of our foundational member of faith Abram and how the Lord graciously called him out of a pagan and idolatrous civilisation, Ur of the Chaldeans, and led him to the promised land.
God made gracious promises to Abram and to his offspring. He would make Abram’s name great and would make of him a great nation, despite the fact that he was an old man, his wife was barren and the promised land was already occupied.
Abram stumbled in his belief of God’s promises and made some terrible choices, leaving the promised land, giving away his wife and deceiving the Egyptian pharaoh.
However, it is God’s plan to bless all nations through the offspring of Abram and despite Abram’s stumble, God’s plans will never fail.
