12. God’s solution will be global and
universal.
The divine summons.
God calls Abram & promises to
bless him. Abram responds in
faith.
God will fulfill his promise.
13.
14. • God’s call is initiated by grace.
• It involved faith and hardship.
• It would result in blessing for
Abram and future generations.

bless.
God repeated this call several
times in Abram’s life.
God shows up as you take steps
of faith.

practically obey.
Look to him in worship.

blessings for future generations.
22. • We learn a few lessons
from Lot and his greed.
• Problems greed brings
about:
• Greed causes strife.
• Greed leads to bad
consequences.
• Greed leads us the
wrong direction.
23. Greed leads to bad
consequences:
• It damages trust, peace, and
goodwill.
• It hampers progress toward
team goals.
• It makes us selfish rather
than loving.
33. We believe God is.
We believe God rewards those who
diligently seek him.
We are strengthened by God’s promises.
We are fully persuaded in God’s ability to
bring it about or deliver.
53. God makes a covenant with Abraham.
There are skirmishes between Lot and
Abraham and Abraham’s people and the
neighboring kings.
God reaffirms the covenant.
Abraham tries to do things his way.
Right before today’s passage, Jesus
himself reaffirms the covenant with
Abraham a third time!
54. The first intercessory prayer in the
Bible is in Genesis 18.
God’s will is supreme.
God judges evil.
