Abraham
God asked Abraham to do something wild: leave everything familiar — his home, his family, his whole life — and go to a place God hadn't even named yet. Abraham went anyway. And God kept His word, promising to bless the whole world through Abraham's family, a promise that's still unfolding today.
Big idea: God keeps His promises, even when we have to wait a long, long time for them.
