It’s the eighth week of our Genesis series at Park, discussing God’s foundational worldview for His people and their purpose in His world. Here’s how you can prepare this week:
1. Read through our text, Genesis 12.
Against the backdrop of the Fall and the consequential destruction of the world (Genesis 3–11), God makes a promise to Abraham that shines as a beacon of hope. As we read the text, we see two things that show us how God pursues us by sovereign grace: First, God’s promise to His people is unconditional. Second, feeble faith does not threaten God’s promise.
2. Read, pray and sing through the service:
CALL TO WORSHIP: Matthew 11:28–30, Lenten Welcome (From Immanuel Nashville):
To all who are weary and need rest,
To all who mourn and long for comfort,
To all who feel worthless and wonder if God cares,
To all who fail and desire strength,
To all who sin and need a Savior,
This church opens wide her doors
with a welcome from Jesus Christ,
the Ally of His enemies, the Defender of the guilty,
the Justifier of the inexcusable, the Friend of sinners.
Welcome!
