We gathered as Pastor Bruce Johnson began a new sermon series exploring the journey of faith taken by Abraham, Sarah, and others whom God called to help restore a broken world. This week’s message, “The Call of Salvation,” drew from Genesis 11:31–12:9 and Matthew 22:22–33, inviting us to reflect on our own response to God’s call in our lives.

This powerful series delved into the lives of the patriarchs and matriarchs of our faith—those chosen by God to become a beloved people shaped by grace. As we explored their stories, especially in Genesis 18:12–25, we uncovered the heart of a God who brings life where there was none, who works through flawed people, and who continues to guide and empower the Church today.

Whether you were just beginning your faith journey or had been walking with Christ for years, this series offered fresh insight and encouragement to help you discern God’s presence and purpose in your life.
