1. Explore Abraham’s life through Bible readings, a timeline, or a short video. Create a map or visual timeline showing at least five major moments in Abraham’s journey of faith.
2. Identify and discuss two moments in Abraham’s life where his faith was tested. How did he respond? What can we learn from his choices - both good and bad?
3. Study God’s covenant with Abraham (Genesis 12:1–3, 15, 17). Summarize in your own words:
- What did God promise?
- What did Abraham need to do?
- Why is this covenant important in the Bible?
4. Examine Abraham’s flaws and failures. Choose one mistake he made (e.g., lying about Sarah, having a child with Hagar). Discuss in a group or write about:
- Why did he make this choice?
- What were the consequences?
- How did God respond?
5. Explore symbols in Abraham’s story: Choose two and explain what they mean. Some examples:
- Stars in the sky (Genesis 15:5)
- Name change (Abram --> Abraham)
- Altar-building
- Circumcision
- Sacrifice of Isaac
6. Explore how Abraham’s story connects to the rest of the Bible. Choose two of the connection types below and explain what you discover.
- a. Abraham in the New Testament
Find at least two places where Abraham is mentioned in the New Testament and explain: Why is he mentioned? What point is the writer making about faith, promises, or Jesus?
- b. Isaac’s near sacrifice as a symbol of Jesus
Explain how the story of Abraham offering Isaac points forward to Jesus. You may compare things like: the “beloved son,” sacrifice, obedience, the ram vs. Jesus as the true substitute.
- c. Abraham as a role model of faith
Describe two ways Abraham’s faith gives us an example to follow today. You may consider: trusting God when the future is unclear, obeying even when afraid, believing God’s promises, earning from mistakes.
7. Create something to express what you’ve learned about faith. Choose one:
- A short skit or drama of Abraham's journey
- A symbolic craft (e.g., star mobile, altar model, journey map)
- A short devotion or spoken-word poem about faith
- A poster comparing "God’s promise" vs "Abraham’s fear"
