CALL TO PROMISE<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

Genesis 12:1-9<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A NEW BEGINNING<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Genesis 12:1 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Now the LORD said to Abram, \u201cGo from your country and your kindred and your father\u201d\u2122s house to the land that I will show you.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A DIVINE COVENANT<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Genesis 12:2-3 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

A TOTAL JOURNEY<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Genesis 12:4-6 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0So Abram went, as the LORD had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother\u201d\u2122s son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people that they had acquired in Haran, and they set out to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan,
\n6 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Abram passed through the land to the place at Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. At that time the Canaanites were in the land.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

A GRAND PROMISE<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Genesis 12:7-8 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>7 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Then the LORD appeared to Abram and said, \u201cTo your offspring I will give this land.\u201d So he built there an altar to the LORD, who had appeared to him.
\n8 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0From there he moved to the hill country on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to the LORD and called upon the name of the LORD.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

A FRESH WALK<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Genesis 12:8-9 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>8 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0From there he moved to the hill country on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to the LORD and called upon the name of the LORD.
\n9 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And Abram journeyed on, still going toward the Negeb.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

John 15:4-5 (ESV)
\n<\/strong>4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.<\/span>
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n
