Scripture Reference: Genesis 12:1-7
Genesis 12 is the break-through point in the “story thus far.” Suddenly, God calls a childless pagan to be the head of a new family that’ll carry the mission of God through to completion. It’s a commission that God’s people still have even in our day, to remake the world for his glory.
