Due to the spiritual 4 days that we had with an emergency for this church we were unable to do a sermon on Sunday. We will add a little extra the next week for this week. We apologize for any inconvenience this might have caused for anyone out there in other countries that cannot get to a bible.

chapter 12.
Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee: Acts 7:3
2
And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
3
And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Acts 3:25 Gal 3:8
4
So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.
5
And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother’s son, and all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan; and into the land of Canaan they came.
6
And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land.
7
And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
8
And he removed from thence unto a mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west, and Hai on the east: and there he builded an altar unto the LORD, and called upon the name of the LORD.
9
And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.
10
And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land.
11
And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon:
12
Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive.
13
Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee.
14
And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair.
15
The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
16
And he entreated Abram well for her sake: and he had sheep, and oxen, and he asses, and menservants, and maidservants, and she asses, and camels.
17
And the LORD plagued Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of Sarai Abram’s wife.
18
And Pharaoh called Abram and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife?
19
Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way.
20
And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had.
Summary; The Bible story of Abram is integral to understanding a man’s direct relationship with God. We recognize Abram as the father of nations because of his long travels and how he worked very hard ensure God’s trust and thus his own faith as well. God gave Abram many instructions and had him travel to many regions. Chapter 12 describes the many ways Abram was tested by God and how he interacted with the many the cultures and societies he encountered as he traveled East. Abram stopped in two places: the Mountain of Bethel and Egypt.
Closing prayer; Heavenly Father, thank You for the beautiful example of Abram who by faith in Your Word has become the biblical example of a man who believed in the Word of the Lord – and who simply trusted in the promises of God. Thank You for the Bible and the many precious promises and truths that it contains. Help us to listen to Your voice and obey Your call – to Your praise and glory.. in Jesus name we pray, AMEN.
For those who wish to become a child of our heavenly Lord, or strengthen thier faith, please pray the following prayer below.
Dear Heavenly Father, I want to be a part of your family. You said in Your Word that if I acknowledge that You raised Jesus from the dead, and that I accept Him as my Lord and Savior, I would be saved.

By saying this prayer, we believe you are born again.
