Faith and Famine | Genesis 12:9-20

About this episode

Lead Pastor Ryan continues the sermon series exploring faith through the life of Abraham, focusing on the theme of living between promise and fulfillment.

Count the Stars: Living by Faith Between Promise and Fulfillment God gives promises, but we live most of our lives in the gap between promise and fulfillment. In our Count the Stars sermon series, we’ll walk through the life of Abraham and discover how God forms a resilient, trusting faith, not just through waiting and uncertainty, but also through doubt, missteps, and failure. If you find yourself in between promise and fulfillment, this series will help you grow a deeper faith and learn to trust God right where you are. This Sunday, Lead Pastor Ryan will continue our series with his sermon, “Faith and Famine” from Genesis 12:9-20.
