Destination: faith
Isn’t this road called faith we are on kind of confusing? I mean it seems easy enough, just trust in God and go. Right? But I find it isn’t as simple as it looks. We are constantly having to choose which way to go, passing opportunities and having to turn around to retrieve them or learn from them. It is a road filled with mystery and adventure at every turn, but when do we arrive? Isn’t that a good question, and exactly how do we get to our destination? Most people chart out on maps or Google the directions when taking a long road trip. How can we chart our course when it comes to faith? I am glad you asked. We go to the people who have already forged the trail and arrived to the destination. For this trip we go to a man named Abram from Ur, i.e, lower Mesopotamia. His address is found in the book of Genesis of the Bible. He was the first everyday guy who took the trip and successfully arrived. His story is great; he did it like someone like me. He made mistakes, blunders, and had mishaps; but he went all the way. Not only did he go all the way, but he was blessed beyond measure. So come along with us as we retrace his story on Sundays. It is sure to be encouraging, insightful, and comforting to see how God is patient with people just like you and me.
Hope to see you on Sunday,
Rod

Hey Worship,
Thanks for you comment! I believe that as we walk through Genesis with Abram we will learn a lot about the rest of the story of God. There is so much in the beggining that runs trhough the entire story, both Old and New Testaments. It is the foundation of the whole. I hope you can join us in the weeks to come.
