The Call of Abram

Script

0:24

As we begin, reflect on God, who is with you, here and now.

Take a moment to breathe and think about God's gaze of love upon you.

Ask God to guide you in this time of prayer.

1:23

The call of Abram.

In this scene Abram hears God’s call. Listen to the instructions and notice the response of the people.

1:43

Genesis 12:1-5

Now the Lord said to Abram,

“Go out from your country, your relatives, and your father’s household

to the land that I will show you.

Then I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you,

and I will make your name great,

so that you will exemplify divine blessing.

I will bless those who bless you,

but the one who treats you lightly I must curse,

so that all the families of the earth may receive blessing through you.”

So Abram left, just as the Lord had told him to do, and Lot went with him. (Now Abram was 75 years old when he departed from Haran.) And Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Haran, and they left for the land of Canaan. They entered the land of Canaan.
