Genesis 12 - 15

Abram is promised by God that he will be blessed if he obeys God.  Abram leaves his home country in order to journey to a place God would show to him.  Along the way, Abram demonstrates that he is learning to obey God unquestioningly; his failures are not final and provide necessary feedback to him that allows him to learn to trust God in all areas of life.  One of Abram's relatives, his nephew Lot, parts company with his uncle and is captured.  Abram rescues his nephew and encounters a priest who serves the living God.  God confirms His covenant with Abram and promises that his descendants would inherit a great land and possession.
