In this message from Genesis 20, Pastor Steven Hiller walks us through a powerful moment in Abraham’s journey of faith, a moment filled with fear, failure, and the faithfulness of God.
Pastor Steven opens with a personal story from his college days in Cru, recalling a summer mission trip to Asia where evangelism wasn’t just controversial, it was dangerous. The risks were real, but so was the question: Is it worth it to share the Gospel when it might cost someone everything?
That same question echoes through Genesis 20, where Abraham, gripped by fear, once again chooses deception to protect himself. But even as Abraham falters, we see the mercy and sovereignty of God on display. The Lord intervenes, not only to protect His promises but to open the door for blessing to reach the nations.
This chapter challenges us to consider our own fears when it comes to sharing our faith. Are we willing to trust that God's promises are true? Will we step into uncomfortable spaces to be a blessing to others, even when the cost feels high?
Join us as we explore:
- Abraham’s recurring struggle with fear
- How God's promise to bless the nations through Abraham still shapes our mission today
- What it means to walk by faith, not by sight
