Vital Signs.

Hi All,
Reading from todays verses in Genesis, Pastor John communicates what real trust can mean in our lives. Do you want God to show himself, just to prove to you that He really does exist?

Abram trusted God, even though he never saw Him, dropping everything to go off to unknown places to secure his future. Yet, even with all the material wealth he was given, he still had no heir to carry on his family line. Trying to second guess God, he tries to 'make it happen' by having a child with Hagar, his slave girl.

As we know, this didn't work out, but God takes Abram aside and shows him once again all the stars and tells him that he will have more descendants than there were stars.

So what moved Abram to believe? Listen to Pastor John's message and find out what our promises are and how we have the faith to believe them.
