A quick look at God’s involvment in Abrahams life.

Intro Robert Frost wrote a poem called The Road Not Taken. He muses about a choice - metaphorically described - as a fork in a road. He must make a choice of which he will follow.

In January of 2020, I started preaching through Genesis. My plan was to break it up and preach Genesis in a few different chunks— Genesis 1-11 , 12-25 , 26-50 . So that’s what I started to do.
