Covenant [God's Promise to Abraham] Discussion Guide

Summary
This message discusses the Abrahamic covenant, focusing on God's promises to Abraham and how they extend to modern-day believers. It details Abraham's journey of faith, starting when God called him at age 75 to leave his homeland, and chronicles the repeated promises God made to give Abraham countless descendants and make him a blessing to all nations. Wes emphasizes how these promises ultimately point to Jesus Christ and extend to all believers today through faith.

Intro Prayer
Heavenly Father, as we gather to discuss Your faithfulness through the story of Abraham, open our hearts and minds to understand how Your ancient promises still impact us today. Help us to trust in Your timing and promises just as Abraham did. Guide our discussion and reveal the truths You want us to learn. In Jesus' name, Amen.
