We continue in Genesis with a voice and a promise. God calls Abram an old man with no children and nothing special about him. God calls him to leave everything familiar behind: his country, his people, his father’s household. In return, God offers nothing tangible, just a promise: I will bless you, and through you, I will bless the whole world. Abram goes. But Genesis 12 doesn’t let us romanticize that obedience as before the chapter ends, Abram’s faith wavers under pressure in Egypt. This week we open our new series tracing the story of Abraham, and ask what faith looks like.

In today’s story we will see how the hard hearts of those who should be the most ready to see Jesus causes blindness and how the faith of one woman reveals the heart of God who invites all to his table.

Through Genesis 1-11 we’ve seen how life in this world is cursed because we rejected God. Now, through 3 personal encounters with Jesus, Mark shows us how Jesus finally came to reverse that curse. This week, Mark 5, we see Jesus encounter people who’ve had to wait far too long for him to reverse the curse for them. It raises the question: Why are we still waiting? How can we trust Jesus while we’re waiting for him to fix this world?
