Abraham, Our Father and a Man of Faith                                                  

Eric Shirley

Room B16

 

Christians worship the God of the Bible: the Triune God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  People are called, individually, to come to know God by knowing Jesus Christ, but we also worship God communally and learn how to worship Him through the example of others.  One example of a person of faith is Abraham.  By tracing the life of Abraham as set forth in Genesis, we learn about Abraham, but we also learn about the object of Abraham's worship: God himself.  We also find additional insight into God's dealings with Abraham in the New Testament books, James, Hebrews, Galatians, Acts and Romans, and in the teachings of our Lord Jesus Himself.  In this class, we want to learn what the Bible says about Abraham and his relationship to God, thereby discovering something about God and drawing closer in our own walks with God.
