Abraham trusts God’s guidance as his family is separated. Despite this age of chronic scepticism and unbelief every person is welcomed to invest their faith in God’s faithfulness and their trust in God’s promises. This sermon series will explore 7 tests of faith drawn from the life of Abraham, the original believer.
Sermon Application:
a) Read: Genesis 21:1-21 and Galatians 4:21–31
b) Pray & Contemplate: Is my faith journey separated from friends and family in a healthy way?
Discussion Questions
1. Share a time when following Jesus created separation from your old life, friends, family, or similar.
2. Is sharing Jesus with the non-elect (i.e. Ishmael, the unchurched) a priority of yours?
3. Is your faith journey separated from friends and family in a healthy way? (as parents, are you raising children that have a robust independent faith?)
