10.14.18
Use the following thoughts and questions to have a spiritual conversation as a family. Don’t emphasize having the right answer, but focus on spending time discussing the Word as a family.
Scripture
Genesis 12:1-4; 15:1-6
Session Summary
God asked Abram (Abraham) to leave behind all that was familiar—his land, his family, his home. Abram had no idea where God would take him; God only told him to go “to the land that I will show you” (Gen. 12:1). God promised blessings to Abram, including making him a into a nation with many descendants. Abram obeyed. He left everything he knew. But that didn’t mean the journey was easy for Abram. He began to question God’s promises, and so God reminded him again that the heir would come from Abram himself, and even showed him that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars.
Conversation Questions
What would be difficult about leaving behind the rest of our family, our friends, and our home to go where God called us–especially if our family didn’t even know where we were supposed to go?
What are some things our family has had to leave behind or let go of to faithfully follow God?
Where is God calling our family to go now? What is He calling us to do?
Why is it sometimes tough for our family to walk confidently into the unknown, despite knowing God’s future plans for us?
Family Challenge
This week, take the first step of obedience in something God has called your family to do. Whether that’s signing up to serve at a soup kitchen on Thanksgiving Day or donating clothes and other items you no longer need, get moving in the direction God has pointed your family.
