Bible Fellowship Group Study Questions:

1. How does the call of Abram in Genesis 12:1-3 foreshadow the mission of Jesus Christ? In what ways does God's promise to Abram reflect His broader plan of redemption throughout Scripture?
2. Discuss Abram's response to God's call to leave his country and his family. How does Abram demonstrate trust and obedience in the face of uncertainty? What lessons can believers today learn from Abram's example?
3. Reflect on the significance of Abram's worship in response to God's promise of offspring and land. How does Abram's worship reveal his faith and understanding of God's covenantal promises? How does this relate to the believer's worship of God today?
4. Explore the connection between God's promise to Abram and its fulfillment in Jesus Christ. How does Galatians 3:16 illuminate the relationship between Abram's offspring and the ultimate Offspring, Jesus? What implications does this have for understanding the continuity of God's redemptive plan?
5. Consider the broader theme of progressive revelation in Scripture, as mentioned in the sermon. How does God progressively reveal Himself and His plan of redemption through the covenants He makes with humanity? In what ways does this deepen our understanding of God's character and purposes?
