Faith or Fear?

Watch
Listen

Pastor Josh discusses the story of Abram (later known as Abraham) from Genesis 12:10-20. Abram faces a life-or-death decision that tests his faith in God’s promises. Instead of trusting God, twice he chooses fear and self-preservation, leading him to lie (or at least not be entirely truthful) about his relationship with his wife Sarai. Despite Abram's lack of faith, God remains faithful and protects Sarai from Pharaoh. It was entirely God's goodness, not Abram's or Sarai's that caused God to rescue them and keep his promises. What risks are you afraid to take in faith as you follow Jesus?

Scripture References: Genesis 12:10-20, 2 Timothy 2:13

From Series: "Journey Uncharted"

The story of Abraham’s life opens with a profound and powerful event: his response to God’s call to leave his homeland and go to the land God will show him (Gen 12:1). Abraham's life is marked by moments of both faith and doubt, courage and fear. Through it all, God was was faithful, enabling Abraham to keep turning back to him in faith and courage.
