Strapped In or Falling Fast? | Genesis 11:26–12:9

What is the nature of saving faith? In a world full of spiritual “placebos,” Abram’s story shows us the real thing—faith that trusts God’s character before it sees God’s plan.

From a glittering, idolatrous Ur…

to a call with no map…

to a lifelong pilgrimage with the Lord—Genesis 11–12 marks the turning point from human collapse to divine redemption.

In this message, Pastor Zach Terry unpacks:

-Why Abraham is Scripture’s archetype of faith and central to New Testament theology

-How God’s pursuit comes first—saving faith is our response to His call

-Why real faith clings to a Person, not a plan (“Go… to the land that I will show you”)

-How faith is a pilgrimage, not a pit stop—shaping our home, relationships, and worship

-How to spot false faith and strap into the only One who truly saves

Don’t free-fall with a counterfeit. Strap into Christ.
