Abraham is highlighted 74 times in the New Testament, second only to Moses. He is the only person in the Bible called a friend of God (James 2:23)—perhaps the highest honour anyone can receive. He was not perfect in his walk with God, yet scripture records him not only as God’s friend, but his “friend forever” (2 Chronicles 20:7). Abraham is known as the father of faith and throughout his life, faith is exemplified. Even when Abraham was weak in faith, God saw him as a person of faith.

 Along with his wife, Sarah, they learned through their journey that they could trust and obey God. They weren’t perfect, as we will explore together over six weeks, yet they trusted God in the process. Together, we will learn that faith is not about perfect character or integrity, rather it is simply taking God as His word and trusting him and by doing so we will model faith to others.
