The sermon focuses on Genesis chapter 12, verses 1-9, using the story of Abraham (then Abram) to illustrate the nature of a life lived in obedient faith. The speaker emphasizes that the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, is a connected story of God's redemptive plan to restore humanity's relationship with him.
Here is a summary of the main points:
1. God's Call (Genesis 12:1)
God called Abram out of his pagan world and away from his family to go to a specific, yet unrevealed, place.
It Was Personal and Difficult: God spoke directly to Abram, calling him to leave his comfortable life and his family.
