Genesis Chapters 12 - 25

Teacher: Darrell Rott

This week we look at Abraham in Genesis Chapters 12 - 25. Remember the New Testament big stories, or big verses about Abraham in Romans, Galatians and Hebrews? They have a lot to say about Abraham. I doubt if there's any more Old Testament character that is dealt with as deeply as Abraham in the New Testament. So, remember to take a look at Romans Chapter 4, Galatians Chapter 3 and Hebrews Chapter 11 as we read about Abraham in Genesis Chapters 12 - 25.
