Rev. Karen E. Gale preaching
"Sarai and Abram Part 2:
Sex Trafficking and Family Conflict"
Genesis 12-13
Abram and Sarai agree to follow God to a new land and the promise that they "will be a blessing to the nations." It only takes a moment for things to fall apart. Fear overcomes trust and the family is on the move again, this time away from the land promised by God and into Egypt. Fear and greed result in Sarai being "sold" to Pharoah. After God cleans up that mess, fear of not having enough sows dissent between uncle and nephew and Lot and Abram break up the family and go their separate ways. A blessing to the nations? Not quite.
