Faith amidst Conflict | Genesis 13:5-18

Faith amidst Conflict | Genesis 13:5-18

After Abram returns to the land of promise, to the place where his altar to the Lord was first built, (from his lapse in Egypt) strife breaks out between his herdsmen and the herdsmen of Lot. In order to settle the dispute and maintain unity in the family, Abram magnanimously gives Lot his choice of the best land, which is inhabited by wicked sinners. In return Abram receives the reaffirmation of God’s promise and once again builds an altar in worship and thanksgiving. From this message we learn that faith in God’s promises elicits God’s power to relinquish your rights and to free you from the lure of the world.

1. Abram’s faith is tested (vv. 5-7)
2. Abram’s faith is magnanimous (vv. 8-13)
3. Abram’s faith is rewarded (vv. 14-18)
