Looking for a City: The Life of Abraham, Part 1

February 19, 2012 Mike MinterSermonsGenesis, Hebrews

Abraham was a man “looking for a city that has foundations, whose builder and maker is God.” His life, in many respects, is a model for how we should live before God.

Looking for a City: The Life of Abraham, Part 1

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS FOR SHEPHERD GROUPS

  1. Read and discuss Genesis 12:1-3 and Hebrews 11:8-16. What do these verses tell you about the nature of man? Of God?
  2. What do the verses in the previous question tell you about the character and calling of Abraham?
  3. How does Abraham’s life “foreshadow” the Christian life?
  4. “God is ultimately the one who is always faithful.” What does this mean? What are the practical implications of this statement?
  5. “We’re from a place we’ve never been.” What does this mean? What are the practical implications of this statement?
  6. In what ways should we emulate the life of Abraham? What personal changes would this mean for you?
