For the average person, this day and age aren't characterized by affluence or luxury.

At Bethesda Senior Living Communities, we serve our residents with a mission of faith and share God's love with them by promoting time spent in prayer and Bible study. One of the most polarizing and fundamental titans of faith found in God's Word is Abraham. Beginning in Genesis 12, God calls Abraham (then Abram) to become the patriarch of "a great nation" through whom "all the peoples of the earth would be blessed" (Genesis 12:2-3). Shortly thereafter, Abraham relocates to Egypt, where the Lord plagues the Pharaoh for taking Abraham's wife as his own. In Chapter 15, God makes an eternal covenant with Abraham, promising to deliver his offspring from the enslavement and oppression that awaited them in a land that was not their own. Additionally, God promises the long-awaited son that Abraham and his wife, Sarah, had assumed they'd never be able to conceive.
