Pastor Kristin Aull recently gave an encouraging message at our last Family Reunion gathering and we wanted to share that with more people. Listen as she describes what it can be like to hear from God as we are living everyday life as a community. We hope this message will challenge you to re-evaluate how you think God speaks to you and that it opens you up to a deeper relationship with Jesus.

Kristin and Brian unpack Genesis 13 and the parting of Abram and Lot. Sometimes the path seems clear and sometimes we just don't know what to do. The amazing thing is that God always seems to work it out if we keep pursuing His will, even if we get it wrong from time to time.

Brian and Kristin discuss the perplexing passage of Genesis 12:10-20 where Abram asks his wife, Sarai, to lie about being his wife before they enter into Egypt. He and his family have moved into "The Promised Land" and they experience an incredible famine that forces them to head to Egypt where there is food. We're shaking our heads over here and diving deeper into a story that has more meaning for our lives today than you might expect!

The call of Abram by God is about more than simply establishing Israel as God's chosen people. It's actually about continuing His plan to bless the entire Earth, and to give as many people as possible the opportunity to be a part of it. This is an amazing thing! Pastor Kristin and Pastor Brian discuss the significance of this part of God's story in this week's insightful and uplifting episode of Joy & Java!
