Dare to Be Great
Adrian Rogers
Genesis 12:1-4
Take your bibles and turn with me please to the book of genesis. That ought not be hard to find. That's the first book. And then, go to chapter twelve. Today we're beginning a brand new series of messages entitled 'the school of faith'. The school of faith and the title of this particular message is, 'dare to be great'. I wonder if you think that it is wrong to want to be great? I suppose most of us would just bow our heads and say, well you know, uh! Hah haa, I don't want to be great.

What is it that made Abraham great? God said of Abraham, your name will be great. What was it that made him so great? His faith. His faith! The bible calls him in Romans 4:11, '..the father of all them that believe...' alright now, and let's begin to read here, and I want to read genesis 12, the first four verses, now the Lord had said unto Abram; by the way his name was Abram before it became Abraham. 'Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred and from thy father's house into a land that I will show thee and I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bles ...
