Jacob, Joseph, and Abraham were so convinced of the promises God gave them that they lived their lives set on what was to come, though they died without seeing the fruition of those promises. In their parting words to their children and grandchildren, they blessed them with the same faith to carry on. Where does such faith come from, and what enabled them to maintain it? Join us for session seven as we dig into the promised God gave to Abraham and discover how we too can have a faith like theirs.
