Short Bible Story Preview

God called Abram to leave his country and go to a land God would show him. God promised to bless him, make his family into a great nation, and bring blessing to all families of the earth.

Abram, later named Abraham, did not know every detail of the road ahead. He had to trust God's promise step by step. God promised a son even when Abraham and Sarah were very old.

Abraham's story teaches children that faith is not knowing everything in advance. Faith listens, follows, waits, and trusts the God who speaks.
