When the Lord spoke, Abram listened, and took with him his family and his proselytes as he stepped out in faith.

The Lord promised great things to Abram, because He wanted to use the prophet and his descendants to bless the entire earth.

Pastor Paul continues looking into the family that raised Abraham and considers how this may have affected his early character.

The Bible tells us that Terah, Abraham's father, was an idolater, and some Jewish tradition suggests he actually made and sold idols. So how did Abraham become a friend of the one true God?

Pastor Paul Torres explains why the Bible goes into such great detail as to how humanity split after the Tower of Babel. He shows how once again the Scriptures go from "macro to micro," following the thread that would lead to the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ.

Pastor Paul reminds us that any group, organization, family, business, church, or even army depends on clear lines of communication. In His grace and love, God targeted that to prevent mankind's rebellion from getting out of control again.

Pastor Paul Torres asks us a question: "What was so wrong with the Tower of Babel? Why did God have to stop it?"

It was pride and rebellion against God Himself that inspired mankind to disregard His command to populate the whole earth.

Once again we see how the Bible begins to "zoom in" on the line of the promised Messiah, by examining Shem and his descendants.

Pastor Paul begins examining the reaction of Noah when he awoke from his wine and realized what Ham and Canaan had done to him.
