Abram and Lot separate, with Abram blessing Lot as he trusts YHWH’s promises to be fulfilled with him regardless of what land he takes. Then, Abram doubles that blessing by rescuing Lot as neighboring forces capture Lot and his family. God is at work in Abram’s family and Abram grasped the call that he was blessed in order to be a blessing. Together, we'll reflect on Melchizedek as bringing God’s blessing, while also being a Christ figure.

A look at Abraham’s fumbling attempt to integrate his faith with everyday challenges in the world around him, particularly life as a nomad with little protection. Both in Egypt and later in the Negev, Abraham tries to protect himself and Sarah but risks blowing everything. Together, we'll examine the importance of celebrating God’s grace in our lives and truth-telling even when it is difficult.

Abram and his family step away from their homeland and in the midst of their everyday nomadic existence, God appears and calls Abram to a particular role in God’s grand story. Together, we'll look at an overview of the story of God, exploration of God’s calling, and the response of faith.

In our world of unanswered questions or in the difficult places where the answers are not what we want to hear, we are called to rest in this wordless place beyond answers. The wordless place can be for us the place of trust, instead of fear.

We are given the privilege of serving within the church and the community.
