Next on In Touch, The Walk of Faith.

The title of this message is the walk of faith.

If I should ask you, are you walking in faith or are you

walking by sight? How would you answer that? Do you walk according to the will and purpose and plan

of God for your life? Are you just walking, trusting, and hoping things will turn out?

God wants us to walk, trusting Him for every single thing.

Abraham, for example, of all the people in the Bible,

only second to Jesus is probably one of the most important people in the Bible, because there

are 14 chapters of Scripture about this man, Abraham alone.

And when you look in the Word of God and you begin to see all those chapters and all the

things that he did and think about the fact he's the father of the Jewish race.

And so he's a very, very important character in the scripture.

And he came from a pagan society.

And when you think about where he came from and what he did, you think, well, there's hope for me.

There is hope because he came from not a pagan society, but he probably was an idol worshipper. And somebody says, well, why would God

choose somebody like that? God makes choices based on his wisdom, not on how we see things.

And God reaches down, speaks to Him, and if you'll turn to this 12th chapter of Genesis,

listen to what he says.

Now the Lord said to Abram, go forth from your country, from your relatives, from your father's house, to the land which I will show you.

And I'll make you a great nation.

I will bless you.
