September 3 and 4

LET’S TAKE A WALK WITH ABRAHAM, PART 6
THIS WEEKEND’S SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 18:16-33
We’ll talk about Abraham and the three visitors, focusing on the intercession
Abraham makes for Sodom. The power of one person of faith to
impact the future of a city; the difference the presence of people of faith
actually make in a community without even knowing it.
