A Journey of Faith

“Anything under God’s control is never out of control.” Charles R. Swindoll

Abraham – 4000 years ago and yet as fresh as last week! His name rings though the entire Old Testament and is often mentioned in the New Testament. Christians sometimes regard Abraham as their father, but really only in a spiritual sense. Jesus refers to Abraham as a man of faith and as one who 'saw His day!' Christianity, which is all about faith in Jesus Christ, and walking with God by faith, holds up Abraham as an example to live by. Abraham was and still is a great example of faith and obedience – not without flaws though.

We want to walk by faith – we want to trust God in all things – we want to follow without doubt and live without fear. Abraham left some big sandals to fill! When we get a real honest picture of Abraham’s life, his times of great faith and trust in God, are balanced and offset by times of great doubt and disobedience. Sunday we will begin this journey with Abram (later Abraham) and see that he held no secret to faith but just to do what he was told by God. Trusting and Obeying –

no better way!
