Following God isn\u2019t always easy, but it\u2019s always worth it. In Abraham\u2019s story, we see what happens when fear, pressure, and uncertainty lead us to take control instead of trusting God.  In this message, Pastor Seth explores the following Scriptures:  Genesis 12:1 NET 1 Now the Lord said to Abram, \u201cGo out from your country, your relatives, and your father\u2019s household to the land that I will show you.  Genesis 12:10-20 NET 10 There was a famine in the land, so Abram went down to Egypt to stay for a while because the famine was severe. 11 As he approached Egypt, he said to his wife Sarai, \u201cLook, I know that you are a beautiful woman. 12 When the Egyptians see you they will say, \u2018This is his wife.\u2019 Then they will kill me but will keep you alive. 13 So tell them you are my sister so that it may go well for me because of you and my life will be spared on account of you.\u201d 14 When Abram entered Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful. 15 When Pharaoh\u2019s officials saw her, they praised her to Pharaoh. So Abram\u2019s wife was taken into the household of Pharaoh, 16 and he did treat Abram well on account of her. Abram received sheep and cattle, male donkeys, male servants, female servants, female donkeys, and camels. 17 But the Lord struck Pharaoh and his household with severe diseases because of Sarai, Abram\u2019s wife. 18 So Pharaoh summoned Abram and said, \u201cWhat is this you have done to me? Why didn\u2019t you tell me that she was your wife? 19 Why did you say, \u2018She is my sister,\u2019 so that I took her to be my wife? Now, here is your wife. Take her and go!\u201d 20 Pharaoh gave his men orders about Abram, and so they expelled him, along with his wife and all his possessions.  \u2013 Next Steps Looking to take a next step?

A lot of people know about Jesus but have yet to experience the life-changing power of His grace and truth. Knowing Jesus has transformed our lives, so our goal for each of our worship services, from our kids\u2019 environments on up, is to help people know that same love. We actively pursue Jesus in everything we do and we believe He\u2019s given us a vision for a church that is deeply centered on Him and His word.
