Series: Promises Promises

The story of Joseph in the Bible is so dramatic, it became the basis for a Broadway musical! It’s full of incredible highs, but even more intense lows. Through it all, we’re able to see how God’s promises are consistent, even in times of hardship and testing. This week we’ll learn to trust God’s promises more, find him active even in our seasons of difficulty, and share his love with people in need around us.

In the story from the Bible we’ll explore this week, God challenges a man named Abraham to trust him completely.  Abraham must face emotions we’re very familiar with in our complicated world: confusion, worry, fear, and even panic.  But Abraham gives us an incredible example of trusting God’s promises over the power of his own emotions.  Together we’ll learn how we can follow Abraham’s example, trust God boldly in our lives, and reap the rich reward of God’s presence and peace.

During this three-week message series, we’re exploring how some of the founders of our faith connected with God, put their trust in his unique promises, and changed the world. In this first week, we’ll meet Abraham and see how he responds to God’s call to radically transform his life. Abraham’s story will inspire us to consider our own trust in God and what it feels like to bravely walk into his plans.
