Text: Genesis 13-14

On Sunday we were in Genesis 13-14. As Abram returns to Canaan after his faith wavered in Egypt. We see in these chapters a renewed man, marked by humility, who responds to a number of trying circumstances with surprising faith. Abram walks by faith, not by sight. In doing so, he points us to the God who sustains and upholds his people.
