2. Abraham, the Father of the Faith.

If you want to be part of what God is doing in this world… it requires faith.
- It requires the faith of Abraham… not just to believe but to obey his call to a greater inheritance that God will provide in his own time.
- It requires the faith of Noah to build a boat simply because God said so.
- It requires the faith of Moses to wander in the wilderness for 40 years, leading a rebellious people with nothing but two tablets of stone and the 10 commandments inscribed upon them.
- It requires the faith of David to run to God in repentance after his sin and to know that being a man after God’s own heart is not about the heart you have but the heart you are after.
Challenge:
Do one thing this week that would align you with God’s agenda in this world. Specifically, evaluate where you are with God and identify one area of your life-perhaps finances, priorities, habits, relationships – where you could align your behavior with your belief.
