We’ve been making our way through the book of Genesis. If you were with us last time you’ll remember in Genesis twenty-seven Jacob is coaxed by his mother to manipulate his father into giving him the blessing. They succeed but lived to regret it. It’s always better to submit to God’s plan and promises. You can’t stop them anyway. God’s plans will not be thwarted!

It may surprise you to learn that Jesus didn’t leave the responsibility for evangelism with the unbeliever but with the believer. He told his followers to “go into all the world.” But sadly the world in many instances has come into the church - rather than the church going into the world. Today’s Study the Word will provide some fresh inspiration from the book of Acts. It’s there we’ll find the apostle Paul charging deep into the Greco Roman world and culture with the gospel.

Today on Study the Word we take you to Genesis chapter 15, where the Lord spoke a powerful message to Abram. He tells him, fear not, I will protect you, and your reward will be great!

Let’s see how this applies to us in our walk of faith, as we join pastor Thom Keller for part one of, “By Faith Abraham Believed.”

We’re currently looking at the history of the early Church as recorded in the book of Acts. It’s a very honest accounting of the successes of the church along with its failures.
