Abram's Reward

We watched a short movie based on Genesis 12 to 15:6. It is about the call of Abram through Abram's rescue of Lot. Then we discussed the following questions in small groups.

1) How was Abram’s trust in God, love for people, and generosity demonstrated . . .
In his choice to leave his country?
During his discussion with Lot about where to live?
In his response to learning about Lot’s capture?
In his relationship with Melchizedek, the king of Salem and prince of God?

2) Why did God tell Abram to count the stars?

3) God said to Abram, “I am your shield, your very great reward.”
In which area of your life do you need God to be “your shield”? Why?
Is God a “your very great reward” right now? Explain.

4) How would you score yourself, according to the following values in life:
My comfort <1-----2-----3-----4-----5> Serving people?
Acquiring more <1-----2-----3-----4-----5> Living on Less?
Keeping for myself <1-----2-----3-----4-----5> Generosity to others?

5) Which of Abram’s characteristics would you like to experience in your own life, and why?
