Forward by Faith: in the Face of Our Fears
Genesis 12:10-13:4
1. Our lives are not exempt from
DIFFICULTY (12:10a)
2. Our natural tendency is to fearfully
AVOID difficulty (12:10b-13)
a. Fear related to
PROVISION leads to
DESERTION (12:10b)
b. Fear related to
PROTECTION leads to
DECEPTION (12:11-13)
3. Our attempts to avoid danger can
ENDANGER what matters most (12:14-16)
4. Our God is
FAITHFUL even when we are
FAITHLESS (12:17-13:4)
