Trusting God when we don’t understand

Genesis 17.1-7,15-16

God makes a covenant with Abram, in which Abram and his wife Sarai (both in their nineties), will become the ancestors of many nations and peoples, including their leaders, and an example of great faith. They are renamed Abraham and Sarah and promised the birth of a son – this is a great blessing because they had not previously been able to have children.

This week we explore different ways to change our automatic or instinctive way of seeing things. We explore how we need other people to help us see things differently, to helps us appreciate that our way of seeing things may not be God’s way. And we explore how to trust God, even when we are worried that God is wrecking our plans.
