Broken Dreams: Life of Abraham

This Easter we will dive back into the book of Genesis focusing on the life of Abraham. Easter? Abraham? Genesis? Broken dreams? How does it all fit?

If you think about it, it all fits very nicely. We’re introduced to Abram in Genesis 12 with God giving Abram His dream for his life. That his offspring would be a great nation, that God wanted to bless the whole world through this nation. That is quite a dream.

What unfolds next in Abram’s story is a series of broken expectations, promises, and dreams. Nothing seems to go the way he thought, nothing seems to be working. It’s a life of broken dreams. Some of the brokenness was self-inflicted. Some of it was God-inflicted. All of it hurt. All of it had consequences.

It’s in the aftermath of the crash that we find out what God was up to.

And that’s the journey this series will take. I’ll connect the dots to Easter on Sunday morning.
