We are in a military community, so many readers can imagine leaving everything they know to start over again and again. Our scripture today has Abram leaving everything he knew to follow God.
Over and over again in the Bible, we see God asking people to take risks when they follow him. Why do we think our call to follow should be risk-free?
When have you felt a call to follow that might have been risky?

The Call of Abram
Genesis 12:1-9

12 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country, your family, and your father’s house to the land that I will show you.

2 I will make of you a great nation;
I will bless you
and make your name great,
so that you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless them who bless you
and curse him who curses you,[a]
and in you all families of the earth
will be blessed.”
4 So Abram departed, as the Lord had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Harran. 5 Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had accumulated, and the people that they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan. They came to the land of Canaan.

6 Then Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the oak of Moreh. The Canaanites were in the land at that time. 7 The Lord appeared to Abram and said, “To your descendants I will give this land.” So he built an altar to the Lord, who had appeared to him.

8 From there he continued on to a mountain to the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord. 9 Then Abram continued his journey toward the Negev.

The scripture for today is very clear which is perfect for a Monday morning! Jesus said to follow him and Matthew did just that! No room for wondering or doubting at all.
Could we do that? Could we drop everything we are doing and leave everything we know, to follow Jesus? My color coded planner would need to be burned. What about all the things that need our attention and all the people who expect us to be focused on them?
Following Him only when it is convenient for us seems like a tremendous misstep in our faith journey. Nothing about following Jesus is really convenient.
Oh to have that kind of faith to walk away and simply follow!

Matthew 9:9
9 As Jesus passed on from there, He saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s station. And He said to him, “Follow Me.” And he rose and followed Him.

Good Morning Friends!

What does it mean to be handed a mission by the Creator of the universe? This Sunday, we are diving into Matthew 28:16-20 and the powerful calling Jesus placed on his disciples—and on us today. We're talking about "The Great Commission," what it means to live a life sent by God, and how we can lean on the promise that Christ is always with us. Whether you’ve been in church your whole life or are just starting to explore faith, there’s a place for you here.

Join us this Sunday at 10:00! 🌍✨
