At significant points in God's history, the faith community has come together to decide what documents should be brought together as the primary sources for the story of God. The first gathering of the part of the Bible...

Where is this nation going to come from? I am going to give this land to your descendants. Where are these descendants going to come from? Look all directions and I will be giving you all of this land to you and your descendants. I will give you a son and make this happen, even when they go into bondage they will return after 400 years. Abram goes to this new land of God's promise. He goes to Egypt and tells them that his wife Sarai was his sister. Pharoah is condemned and afflicted with Abram divides the land with Lot and saves him.pledges. After all those shenanigans, God establishes a contr...
