REFLECTIN' TIME! No, I do not mean a mirror...

Questions of the Rainbow! :)

(Oooh! What was the rainbow a sign of and in which story was it important in?)

Think. How can you relate Jesus to Isaac?

God was ready to give up Jesus for us just like Abraham was ready to give up Isaac for God. WHOA.

Do you believe you are perfect? We can never be as perfect, and holy as God. Think about Hagar and Moses. They weren't perfect. How can we be a light to the world?

In relation to Abraham, and MAYBE Adam and Eve, how are we connected to each other. We all came from one person. Who do you think that one person is?

Who or what do you see God in?

Take a second to listen to God...

The Call of Abram

Now mthe Lord said1 to Abram, “Go from your country2 and your kindred and your father's house to the land that I will show you. 2 nAnd I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 oI will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and pin you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”3

4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from qHaran. 5 And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and all their possessions that they had gathered, and the people that they had acquired in Haran, and they set out to go to the land of Canaan. When they came to the land of Canaan, 6 Abram rpassed through the land to the place at Shechem, to sthe oak4 of tMoreh. At that time uthe Canaanites were in the land. 7 Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, v“To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built there an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him. 8 From there he moved to the hill country on the east of wBethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord. 9 And Abram journeyed on, still going toward the Negeb.
