Abraham: A Model of Faith, A Blessing to the Nations

There is much in Abraham’s life that we can use as a model for how to live today. In this week’s message, Ptr. Genesis Tan highlights Abraham’s willingness to give up control and comfort, the humility with which he returns to his calling, and his faithfulness even in the face of the most costly sacrifice.
