Abraham, His Faith's Beginning

Summary

The sermon explores the nature and beginning of Abraham's faith, emphasizing that faith is dynamic and grows over time rather than being a single initial act. It challenges the contemporary view that Abraham's faith began at Genesis 15:6, showing instead that his faith started earlier when he obeyed God's call to leave Ur. The preacher highlights that God is the true hero of Abraham's story and our faith journey, not faith itself. The message encourages believers to look to Jesus as the author and finisher of faith, following Abraham's example of obedience and trust in God's promises.
