Genesis 12

May 3, 2026    Fred Kenney Jr.

This sermon examines Abraham's call in Genesis 12, contrasting humanity's rebellion at Babel with God's choice to bless one man and make his name great. We see Abram's partial obedience/ disobedience, as seen when Abraham hesitated in Haran instead of going to Canaan. Despite failures like going to Egypt, lying about Sarah, and mistrusting God, he's remembered as a man of faith, showing God's faithfulness in fulfilling promises despite our faltering. The message urges believers to assess partial obedience and remember we're sojourners, like Abraham, living in tents and building altars, not permanent homes. It concludes with parallels between Abraham and Noah—divine calls, altar building, and blessings pointing to Christ, the seed of the woman.
