Genesis 12 – Abram receives a promise from God, and tricks Egypt’s Pharaoh.

Read Genesis 12

- V13, Is this promise still active today? If Abram’s promise was fulfilled through his descendants, the Jews, and the land of Canaan is Israel, then does this promise urge us to bless the Jews and Israel?...or did the promise die with Abram?

- V10-20, does this story condone lying?...or is it an example of Abram’s fallibility?...or are we missing a piece of this puzzle (see also Ch20:12)

- Why do you think this story of the famine and Abram’s deceit was included in Scripture?
