Over September and October we’re looking at the story of Abraham. One person, chosen by God, who He asks to put faith in Him and be obedient to Him. We will journey with Abraham in his faith and his fear, his obedience and his failure. But what we’ll see most clearly is a God who is faithful through it all.  

The land couldn’t sustain both Abram’s animals and his nephew’s. A scarcity mindset created tension and arguments. But Abram chose not to give in to this way of thinking. He let Lot choose the best land first. What prompted Abram to do this? How does our scarcity mindset impact us? And how does our relationship with God help us to deal with it?

Abram left his home after being called by God. The excitement and anticipation of God’s promised blessing must have created a spiritual high for Abram. But then reality set in as famine hit the land. How did Abram respond when faced with the challenges of life? (Spoiler alert - not so well!) But how does God respond to Abram’s lack of faith and fear-filled actions? What can we learn about how God sees our fears and failures?

Psalm 23 - TRUST IN GOD

The Psalms are like a songbook and prayerbook for real life.

Instead of pretending everything is fine, they help us bring our honest emotions to God. At the same time, they gently reshape how we see things, reminding us of who God really is—faithful, in control, full of mercy, and always worthy of our trust and praise.

In the final talk of this series, Rachel Clark looks at Psalm 23 to see what it means to truly trust God in our daily lives.
