Abraham and Fear Part 1

Pastor Pete explores one messy moment from the life of Abraham in Genesis 12:10–20, showing how fear can distort our perspective, drive us to pretend, harm the people around us, and weaken our witness. Although Abraham had received clear promises from God, fear caused him to make choices that put his marriage, his integrity, and even God’s redemptive plan at risk. Yet God stepped in with mercy, protected Sarah, preserved the covenant, and continued His plan despite Abraham’s failure.

This message reminds us that fear can make a mess of our faith, but God’s mercy is always greater. No matter what fear is influencing your decisions today, you can trade fear for faith and trust the God who pursues, protects, and provides for His people.
