b'In this talk, we\\u2019ll briefly introduce the opening characters of the story in Genesis and then take a deeper dive into the call of Abraham.\\nWe\\u2019ll briefly remind people of the story so far:\\nGod created us to thrive in a healthy and whole relationship with Him, with each other, with ourselves and with creation.\\nWe rejected God and choose our own way and as a result, all those four relationships are broken - and we cannot fix it\\nBut God refuses to abandon and reject us and has a plan to rescue us and restore us back to wholeness in relationship with Him, with each other, with ourselves and with creation.\\nGod chooses a people (the Jewish people) through whom His Son Jesus will eventually come and bring about that rescue and restoration.\\nGod chooses a man, Abram, to be the father of that nation (over 4,000 years ago). We pick up the beginning of the story in today\\u2019s reading.\\nWhat would you do if you had a divine encounter that resulted in an invitation to leave everything you know and step into the unknown? High risk, but amazing reward (for you, and all who are to come!)\\nKey Scriptures: Genesis 12:1-9'
