This Sunday: New Series of Sermons on "Abraham: The Greatest Man of Faith"

 

As a Pastor, I believe the best way to grow the church is through book-by-book exposition of the Word of God.  I alternate every five-to-six months between the major series that I am doing on Sunday morning.  I am currently alternating between Genesis and The Gospel of Luke.

This Sunday, I am beginning a series through the life of Abraham entitled "Abraham: The Greatest Man of Faith."

Why would I say that?  There is no religious person that is more admired and revered by religious people in all the world than Abraham.  He is the greatest man in the Old Testament and the second greatest man in the Bible for Christians.  Among Jews, he is the most revered man as he is viewed as the founder of their faith.  Even in Islam, there are 188 references to Abraham in the Koran.

This week (and year) has been a deeply troubling one for Americans and where we are headed can quickly cause even a sane person to deeply troubled if you permit yourself.  But the future has always been uncertain - who ever saw COVID? the riots of 2020? the election turmoil? The Capitol building overrun?

But uncertainty was the way of life for Abraham.  What can we learn from this great man of faith about living in uncertain days?  This Sunday we will open our Bibles to Genesis 11: 26 through 12:9 and deal with "The Journey Into the Unknown Begins With Certainty."  I hope you will join us at 8:45 or 10:15 or online at 8:45 at rfbc.sermon.net or on Facebook at Rainsville First.  Let me remind you, Facebook is not always liable, but the rfbc.sermon.net site is.
