The Vineyard- September 1, 2013

The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5

Genesis 12:1-20
Pray for God to speak to you through the reading of His word. 
Read the passage. 
-          Our Faith
o   What do you see Abraham’s faith requiring of him in this story?
o   In what ways is Abraham successful in living out his faith?
o   In what ways does Abraham fail in living out his faith?
o   In what ways is God calling you to live out your faith as Abraham did?
-          God’s Faithfulness
o   What does God promise Abraham, even before Abraham has done anything to demonstrate faith?
o   What is God’s response, even when Abraham fails in his faith?
o   What does it mean to you that God forgives and blesses despite our imperfection?
Pray that we will have faith like Abraham’s, that causes us to take risks in order to go where God is calling us, and be who God wants us to be. 

Praise God for his faithfulness, even when we are less than faithful!
