E34 - The Chosen Family | Old Testament

In this episode of Words & Ways we'll be looking at the story of Abram and his family in the book of Genesis.

Listen for yourself, with small groups, leadership teams, mentoring-discipling relationships and more.

Our hope is that the words and ways of Jesus transform your mind, fill your heart, and encourage your soul today and every day.

SHOW NOTES

Main Passage: Genesis 12:1-8

Side Passages: Hebrews 11:1-10

DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

Have you ever sensed God telling you to do something without knowing all the details and the larger picture? How did you respond? What happened?

Throughout Genesis 12-25, God forms Abram’s heart and character through different experiences and events. His long travels in Genesis 12:1-8, from Ur over to Haran and then down toward the Negev, probably formed him in many ways (along with the many subsequent events in his life). How have your life circumstances and events formed you into the person you are today? How do you see God working in that?

What do you learn about God from this story? How does impact how you will seek and follow him?
