1. Abram
The Risk Taker

2. Genesis 12: 1 – 5
The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country,
your people and your father’s household to the land I
will show you. 2 “I will make you into a great nation,
and I will bless you; I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing.[a]
3 I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse; and all
peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”[b]

3. 4 So Abram went, as the LORD had told him;
and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-
five years old when he set out from
Harran. 5 He took his wife Sarai, his nephew
Lot, all the possessions they had
accumulated and the people they had
acquired in Harran, and they set out for the
land of Canaan, and they arrived there.

4. Hebrews 11: 1 – 2
Now faith is confidence in what
we hope for and assurance
about what we do not
see. 2 This is what the ancients
were commended for.

7. What are the key factors to consider in taking risks:
1. Concrete Confirmation
from God’s Word
The LORD had said to Abram, “Go from your country,
your people and your father’s household to the
land I will show you.

8. A. Go from your country (Harran)
•Harran is the place where
Abram’s father died
31 Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot son of
Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, the wife of his
son Abram, and together they set out from Ur of the
Chaldeans to go to Canaan. But when they came to
Harran, they settled there. 32 Terah lived 205 years,
and he died in Harran. – Genesis 11: 31 – 32

the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Long ago your ancestors,
including Terah the father of Abraham and Nahor, lived
beyond the Euphrates River and worshiped other gods. 3 But I
took your father Abraham from the land beyond the
Euphrates and led him throughout Canaan and gave him
many descendants. I gave him Isaac, 4 and to Isaac I gave
Jacob and Esau. I assigned the hill country of Seir to Esau,
but Jacob and his family went down to Egypt.
