Genesis 12-13

Share a time in your life, work, relationship, or family, that you had such a misalignment that you had to walk away to be at peace.

In what way was Abram partially obedient to God’s clear directive? Compare and contrast Genesis 12:1 with 12:4.

How did the prosperity of Lot, and Abram’s time in Egypt, become a contributing factor to their loss of tranquility? Gen 13:1-5

Can you think of a time when blessings (maybe prosperity) ended up messing up a family and causing dissension?

Quickly list the 3 moves Mike mentioned that Abram modeled in HOW TO WALK AWAY.

How important is it that we strive for peace? (divide up and have different people read: Hebrews 12:14; Romans 12:18; Matthew 5:9)

How is sometimes separation the most peaceful thing to do? Compare and contrast Lot and Abram’s separation with Paul and Barnabas' separation. (Gen 13 v. Acts 15)

How was Lot selfish and where did his selfishness lead him? How was Abram selfless and where did that lead him?

How does Abram stay "God centered" through life’s ups and down? What is the common thing in all these verses (Gen 12:7; 12:8; 13:18).

How does building an altar point to a God centered life? How can we (in our day and age) keep a God centered life?
