Famine In The Promised Land Series

Contributed by Johnny Wilson on Oct 26, 2009

In beginning an interim pulpit ministry, God directed my attention to Abram/Abraham as a paradigm of faith. Some will object to the almost typological approach to these texts.

Famine in the Promised Land Text: Genesis 12:1-20 Today, may or may not be the beginning of a journey together.
