Abraham Argues for Sodom

Genesis 18:20-33

In one of the most profound conversations in the Bible, Abraham goes back and forth with God about sparing the city of Sodom. His nephew Lot and his family lived there and while of course Abraham was concerned for his kin, his heart broke for the city as a whole. This argument with God puts on display for you and I a lot of things about the human heart, God’s character, and human sin. More than anything, Abraham is modeling for us how to pray and talk to God when the culture and society around us wants to live as if they themselves are their own God. Abraham asks for the righteous few to save the idolatrous many and God listens. Join us as we look at Sodom, the judgment of God, the intercession of Abraham, and the perfect mediator between God and mankind, Christ.
