Abraham Leaves Home - Sermon by Rev. Stephen Milton

In this week’s sermon, Abraham Leaves Home, Rev. Stephen Milton reflects on the moment when God calls Abraham to leave everything familiar and journey into the unknown. With no miracles, no signs, and no clear reason why he was chosen, Abraham responds with pure trust—faith in a voice he has never heard before. Rev. Milton explores how this act of faith, rooted not in proof but in promise, becomes foundational for Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Drawing connections between Abram’s story and our own struggles with uncertainty, identity, and self-worth, the sermon highlights how God’s grace often arrives unearned, inviting us to trust even when we feel unqualified. As Paul later affirms, it was faith—not ritual or rule-following—that made Abram righteous. In a world still full of unknown paths, the sermon calls us to step forward like Abraham, trusting in a God who believes in us first.
