Takeaways:
Act I - The Call
- Sometimes God has a way of moving people into new surroundings to build their faith, or test their faith. This was the case for Abram.
- What might God be calling you to do today that requires faith?
Act II - The Promise
- Promises require waiting.
- God reaffirms his promises when his people forget, this is what a loving God does.
- Abram’s Righteousness means God declares him righteous, he’s in a right relationship with God, and he’s rightly used by God.
Act III - The Bad Idea
- When people don’t trust God’s promises, they take matters into their own hands.
Act IV - The Name Change
- Abram’s name meant “exalted father”. Abraham meant “father of many nations”.
- Sarai meant “my lady or my princess”. Sarah meant “mother of nations”
Discussion Questions:
- Where did we see Abram struggle to believe the promise of God?
- God declared Abram righteous because of his faith. What do you think it means to be “righteous”? Was Abram without sin?
- Why is it easier to take matters into our own hands than to trust God’s promises?
- How might Abraham and Sarah’s name change have impacted them and the people around them?
