Oh what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practice to deceive!

            1.  Faith, obedience, worship

            2.  Now there was a famine

B. ABRAM’S DECEPTIVE PLAN FALLS APART [14-16]

            1.  Sarai’s beauty

            2.  An unexpected twist

C. ABRAM’S GOD COMES TO RESCUE HIM [17-20]

            1.  A plague

            2.  What have you done?

            3.  They sent him on his way…with his wife

What lessons can we learn?

            1.  Suffering

            2.  Holiness

            3.  The world

            4.  Lying

            5.  God’s faithfulness
