Send us Fan MailAs Abram enters the land of Canaan, the biblical story begins to narrow its focus—from the sweeping story of the nations to one man faithfully listening to and obeying the voice of God. His first stop is Shechem, at the Oak of Moreh, a place already associated with pagan worship and supernatural power. Yet Abram does not surrender this place to the gods of the nations; he builds an altar and worships the Lord there. In this episode, we explore why Shechem matters, how Abram's simple act of obedience begins a biblical pattern that echoes through the stories of Jacob, Joseph, Joshua, Israel's kings, and ultimately Jesus, and why paying attention to places and names can reveal connections modern readers often miss.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we explore the calling of Abraham and the remarkable promises God gives him in Genesis 12. Abram leaves the security of his old world to follow God into the unknown, and his obedience transforms wandering into a journey of fellowship and blessing. But God's promise is bigger than Abraham himself: he will become a great nation, receive a great name, and—most importantly—become a blessing to the nations. From Babel to Abraham and ultimately to Jesus, we trace God's plan to bring the nations back to himself through the faithfulness of those he calls.

The Book of Numbers follows the Israelites on their journey from Egyptian captivity toward Canaan, the land God had promised them. They knew where they started and where they were headed, but everything in between was uncertain. That tension is deeply familiar. God rarely hands us a detailed roadmap. Instead, He gives us Himself and asks us to trust Him through the middle. The central lesson from the opening chapters of Numbers is this: you do not need to know the whole plan when you know the One who made it. Before Israel moved a single step, God spoke to Moses inside the Tent of Meeting. That detail matters. Moses had moved closer to God, and proximity shapes how clearly we hear Him. The pattern is consistent throughout Scripture: listen first, then act.God always has a plan, and it stretches all the way back to Genesis 12, where He called Abram with four defining elements: a chosen people, a chosen place, a clear promise, and a clear purpose. Being blessed was never just about receiving. It was always about becoming a blessing to others. That purpose has not changed. We are still invited into the same rescue mission that runs from Genesis to Revelation. Practically, this means taking honest inventory of who is in our lives, arranging our priorities with God genuinely at the center, and choosing trust over complaint when life does not go as expected. The first generation of Israelites forfeited the promised land through grumbling and unbelief. Numbers was written to their children as a reminder that God remains faithful even when His people are not. He will do the same for us.Moving with God does not require a dramatic calling or a perfectly clear vision. It looks like ordinary people doing the next right thing in faith, even when it seems unusual to everyone watching. The invitation this week is simple but challenging: find your Tent of Meeting, show up there consistently, and let God speak before you move. Bring your plans before Him honestly and ask Him to redirect anything that is not from Him. Where do you see God already working around you, and are you willing to join Him there?

# Genesis 12–23: The God Who Provides## SummaryGenesis 12–23 marks a major shift in the biblical story. God calls Abram into a personal relationship and promises him land, descendants, and a blessing that will reach all nations.Abraham responds in faith, but his journey is not perfect. He struggles with fear, makes poor decisions, and sometimes tries to accomplish God's promises in his own way. Still, God remains faithful.In Genesis 15, God confirms His covenant by passing alone through the divided animals, showing that the promise rests on His faithfulness, not Abraham's perfection.God eventually gives Abraham and Sarah the son He promised, Isaac. Then in Genesis 22, Abraham is tested when God asks him to offer Isaac. Abraham obeys, trusting God to provide. At the last moment, God provides a ram in Isaac's place, and Abraham names the place “The Lord Will Provide.”Abraham's story reminds us that God desires relationship with us, remains faithful through our failures, and provides even when we cannot see how.**Big Idea:** Trust God, obey Him, and believe that He will provide.## Sermon Notes### 1. God Calls Abraham**Genesis 12:1–3**God calls Abraham to leave everything familiar and follow Him into the unknown.**Key Principle:** God desires a relationship with you, not just religious activity.### 2. Abraham's Faith Is Imperfect**Genesis 12:10–20**Abraham trusts God, but fear still causes him to make bad decisions, including lying about Sarah.**Key Principle:** Your weaknesses do not automatically disqualify you from what God is calling you to do.### 3. Abraham Chooses Trust**Genesis 13:1–18**Abraham lets Lot choose the land first. Lot chooses by sight, while Abraham trusts God with what remains.**Key Principle:** Choose by trust, not simply by appearance.### 4. Abraham Rescues Lot**Genesis 14:1–24**Abraham rescues Lot, meets Melchizedek, gives him a tenth, and refuses the king of Sodom's wealth.**Key Principle:** Live in a way that makes God's faithfulness visible.### 5. God Makes a Covenant**Genesis 15:1–21**God promises Abraham descendants as numerous as the stars. God alone passes through the covenant pieces.**Key Principle:** God's promises depend on His faithfulness, not our perfection.### 6. Abraham Tries to Rush God's Plan**Genesis 16–17**Abraham and Sarah try to produce God's promise through Hagar. Their shortcut creates pain, but God does not abandon them.**Key Principle:** God's timing is better than our shortcuts.### 7. God Provides Isaac**Genesis 21**After years of waiting, Sarah gives birth to Isaac.**Key Principle:** Waiting does not mean God has forgotten.### 8. The Lord Will Provide**Genesis 22**God tests Abraham by asking him to offer Isaac. Abraham obeys, trusting that God will remain faithful.At the last moment, God provides a ram in Isaac's place. Abraham names the place “The Lord Will Provide.”This points forward to the greater sacrifice God would provide through Jesus.**Key Principle:** We can trust God's provision even when we cannot see it yet.## Practical Applications1. **Take the next step of obedience.** What is one thing God has been asking you to do?2. **Stop forcing God's timing.** Identify one area where you are trying to control the outcome and surrender it to Him.3. **Choose trust over appearances.** Make decisions based on God's character, not simply what looks easiest or best.4. **Give God the credit.** Recognize where He has provided, opened doors, or carried you.5. **Prioritize your relationship with God.** Set aside intentional time this week for prayer, Scripture, and worship.6. **Lay down what you are carrying.** Give God the fear, burden, or uncertainty you have been trying to manage yourself.## Discussion Questions1. Where do you see Abraham growing in trust throughout these chapters?2. In what area of your life is it hardest to trust God's timing?3. Have you ever tried to force something instead of waiting on God?4. What does Genesis 22 teach us about obedience and trust?5. Where have you seen God provide in an unexpected way?6. What is one practical step of obedience God may be asking you to take?7. What burden do you need to surrender to God this week?> **“The Lord will provide.” — Genesis 22:14**

Send us Fan MailWhat kind of person walks away from the greatest opportunity of his generation? As the ancient world collapsed and ambitious rulers raced to build new kingdoms, God called one man to leave it all behind. In this episode, we explore the historical world of Abraham, the rise of the Amorites, the fall of Ur, and the birth of Babylon to discover why Abraham's greatest act of faith wasn't conquering a city—it was refusing one. Together we'll see how God began a new people, not through political power or military might, but through faithful obedience, setting the stage for His plan to bless every nation on earth.

Abram left everything familiar to follow God's call, not because he knew the destination, but because he trusted the One leading him. His story reminds us that faith isn't having all the answers; it's choosing obedience when the path is still unfolding.

In week two of The Story We're In, we explore God's call of Abraham in Genesis 12 and discover how His plan has always been to bless the world through a people. Tracing the story from humanity's rebellion in Genesis 1–11 to God's covenant promises, we see that God's faithfulness is greater than our failures. we're reminded that Jesus redeems our brokenness and invites us to become a blessing to others.Check out the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrCSupport the show

Today’s Bible Verse: “The Lord had said to Abram, ‘Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.’” — Genesis 12:1 Genesis 12:1 marks the beginning of one of the most significant faith journeys in Scripture. God calls Abram to leave behind everything familiar—his home, his people, and his plans—and follow Him into an unknown future. There are few details, no map, and no clear timeline. There is only a promise and an invitation to trust. Want to listen without ads?

Hey friends! Today we're in Genesis 12:14-20Mission of together in the word is to remind every single person the power of getting in the word FOR YOURSELF! Nothing can replace the word of God in your life- not your pastor, an Instagram reel, or even your favorite Youtube podcaster! God wants to speak to you directly, and one way He does that is through His word. The goal of this is to inspire you to get into the word for yourself.Everyone reads the word of God differently, but the most important thing is that you are reading it! This is me getting in the Word with you as if I was by myself in my favorite reading nook:) It's not meant to be perfect or rehearsed, just intimate and honest.

You can never be too far gone to come back to God. That's what we'll find out as we continue to travel in footsteps of Abraham (Abram). Together we'll see the undoing of his relationship with Lot and learn how to trust God in difficult circumstances.

Our study in Genesis now shifts from events to people. Hop aboard the Bible Bus as we're introduced to Abraham and learn that even though he was a man of great faith, he also made some fairly big mistakes.
