What does it look like to follow the Lord? Where should you start? In Genesis 24, we see some principles from Abraham’s servant in taking action while trusting the Lord to provide.

Abraham is coming to the end of his life and he is now concerned with finding a faithful wife for his son Isaac. Abraham shows great trust in the Lord as he passes on his faith to his servant in acquiring a wife and pursuing the promise.

In this passage of Mark, two disciples ask Jesus for a special place in his kingdom, position of power and authority. Jesus responds with what it looks like to be truly great!

We are nearing the end of the story of Abraham and in chapter 23 we see the death of Sarah. Abraham, by faith in the promise, purchases a piece of land to bury her. A deposit of faith if you will. This is so important for Christians today, as we learn how to live out our faith and where we should look!

In this chapter of Genesis, God puts Abraham’s faith to the test. Will Abraham pass? And for Christians today, how can we walk by faith when we are tested?

Abimelech seeks out peace with Abraham through a covenant. In doing so, Abraham shows how to live a life that matters.

After years of waiting, God delivers to Abraham and Sarah the son of promise. However, there is a question of which son is the true heir.

After 25 years of the promise, God faithfully fulfills His promise to Abraham and Sarah with the birth of Isaac. This reminds us that God’s promises may be delayed but they are never denied.

After the promise of an heir, Abraham heads south and again compromises the plan of God. What do we see? That God can overcome our fears with His faithfulness!

After God destroys Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot and his daughters escape to the hills. But what happens when his daughters take their future in their own hands while not trusting the Lord? An incredible story.
