Genesis 12:1-3 Meaning and Commentary
INTRODUCTION TO GENESIS 12
In this chapter an account is given of the call of Abram to depart from his own country, with a promise of a divine blessing, Ge 12:1-3 of his obedience to it, Ge 12:4,5 of his journey through the land of Canaan, and of the Lord's appearance to him in it, and his promise of it to his seed, and of Abram's building altars in it, and calling on the name of the Lord, Ge 12:6-9 and of a famine there, which occasioned him to go into Egypt, Ge 12:10 where, through fear of being slain, he desired his wife to call herself his sister, Ge 12:11-13 and she being greatly admired by the Egyptians for her beauty, it went well with Abram for her sake, Ge 12:14-16 but the Egyptians were plagued because of her, who, when they understood she was Abram's wife, sent them both away, and all that belonged to them, Ge 12:17-20.

Called Into the Future
Pastor Jack Morris
On today’s Healing Word, Pastor Jack Morris takes us back to the beginning of God’s covenant promises in the story of Abram’s calling. In Genesis 12:1-3, the Lord calls Abram to leave behind everything familiar and step into a life of faith, filled with blessing and hope for the future.
BWA - The God of the Old Testament
Bob Russell, Mike Breaux, Rick Atchley, Ben Cachiaras, Aaron Brockett, and Gene Appel
If we were to be honest, I think we all would have to admit that somewhere, sometime we all have asked or thought; “But What About?”, You know what I mean; a doubt concerning God? This week, Rick Atchley, the lead minister with “The Hills Church” in Fort Worth Texas continues His series of messages: “But What About?”, answering difficult questions of faith that are from the hearts of just regular people like you and me. So, have you ever asked in your own mind “but what about” some of God’s seemingly extreme harshness in the Bible’s Old Testament? And how do we mesh that view of God with what we see in the New Testament?In today’s message Rick Atchley takes a step back to get a “Big Picture View” of what’s going on and why sometimes God’s perspective of People / Events may be beyond our limited scope. So, here's Rick to bring some perspective to Judgement, Love, and forgiveness and how we can know and trust the God who bears scars that should have been ours!
Faith Without Limits
Pastor Jack Morris
Pastor Jack Morris continues his powerful series on faith with a message that challenges how we think about suffering and trials. Could those difficult, even painful, circumstances actually be a gift from God—meant to strengthen and grow our faith? In Genesis 12:1-3, God calls Abraham to leave everything familiar and step into the unknown, promising blessing not only for him, but for generations to come. That journey was filled with challenges, yet it was through those trials that Abraham’s faith was refined.
