What Do You Do When God's Promise Is Threatened... and You Could Take Control?

Unshakeable Promises: Trusting God's Covenant Plan | Genesis 12:10–13:18 What do you do when the thing God promised you is suddenly threatened — and you have the ability to take control? Most of us know that room. A job that feels unstable, so you quietly update your résumé. A commitment that gets costly, so you start keeping a back door open. We call it wisdom. But sometimes it's fear driving us out of faith. In this message from our Genesis series, "Promise Maker," Pastor Douglas Humphrey walks through one of the most uncomfortable stories in Scripture — Abram's trip to Egypt, where fear led him to put his own wife at risk to save himself. It's not a pretty story. But it's not the story of a man who failed God. It's the story of a God who refused to let one man's fear destroy what He'd already promised. Four truths from this text: 1. When fear drives us out of faith, God remains faithful 2. When our sin puts others at risk, God still protects the promise 3. When we choose generosity over grasping, God expands the gift 4. When we let go, God lifts our eyes to greater Because the promise was never about how much faith Abram had. It rested on the Promiser — the same God who kept every word He spoke, all the way to the cross. 📍 Bridge Fellowship Church | Southeast Raleigh, NC 🌐 bridgefellowshipchurch.com 📖 Genesis Season 3: "Promise Maker" If this message spoke to you, we'd love for you to be part of this community.
