Family Table Sermon Series
Begins March 1
9:15 a.m. Sundays
Look to the Stars: The Life of Abraham
Come to this five-week sermon series in the Family Table to learn about big promises and big faith.
A long time ago, God called a man named Abraham to do great things. God asked him to leave his homeland and to go on a journey. This took big faith, but God's promises were big too. God promised Abraham that one day his family would be great and would bless the whole world. Abraham would have to trust God even when it seemed like the odds were against him. Join us this March in Family Table as we spend five Sundays exploring how Abraham's story provides encouragement for us today, in a sermon series called: "Look to the Stars: The Life of Abraham."
March 1 - The Journey Begins: The Call of Abraham, Genesis 12:1-5
March 8 - God's Promise to Abraham, Genesis 12:1-5
March 15 - A New Name, Genesis 17:1-7
March 22 - The Son of Promise, Genesis 21:1-7
March 29 - Abraham's Test and God's Substitute, Genesis 22:1-24
