Believe: Stories of Faith From Father Abraham

In this series, we will look closely at Father Abraham’s life. He is celebrated in Hebrews 11 as a great hero and example of faith. Sometimes, though, the stories of his faithfulness can make it seem like our own faith is so weak and small by comparison. The truth is, though, that faith is not an on-off switch. It is a muscle. It gets stronger the more that we use it. In fact, as we look at the story of Abraham, we will see not just the successes but also the failures of Abraham as he learns to believe God. The hope is that as we do so, we will gain confidence in our own life of faith, confidence to persevere, confidence to keep going, confidence to trust God and not ourselves. The goal of faith is so simple to say but so hard to do. Faith simply means to Believe, hence the title of this series.
