At Digging Deeper this morning we were carrying on our Bible overview by looking at Genesis 12 onwards, focusing on the Patriarchs. It seems these chapters of Genesis are so rich in looking at stuff so important: again and again promises and faith, promises and faith.

faith in God’s promises shows itself in obedience to God’s word

.

‘Faith is doing what God says, when everyone and everything around you is screaming ‘Don’t!’ We sin when we don’t trust God.’
