In this talk, we’ll briefly introduce the opening characters of the story in Genesis and then take a deeper dive into the call of Abraham.
We’ll briefly remind people of the story so far:
- God created us to thrive in a healthy and whole relationship with Him, with each other, with ourselves and with creation.
- We rejected God and choose our own way and as a result, all those four relationships are broken - and we cannot fix it
- But God refuses to abandon and reject us and has a plan to rescue us and restore us back to wholeness in relationship with Him, with each other, with ourselves and with creation.
- God chooses a people (the Jewish people) through whom His Son Jesus will eventually come and bring about that rescue and restoration.
- God chooses a man, Abram, to be the father of that nation (over 4,000 years ago). We pick up the beginning of the story in today’s reading.
What would you do if you had a divine encounter that resulted in an invitation to leave everything you know and step into the unknown? High risk, but amazing reward (for you, and all who are to come!)
