  Last week, we learned about Noah's Ark and how God kept his promise to rescue Noah,
• 0:17
  his family, and the animals. Do you remember the rainbow God placed in this sky as a sign of his
• 0:25
  promise? Today, we're moving forward in God's big story to meet a man named Abraham.
• 0:33
  God made Abraham a very special promise, one that would change the whole world.
• 0:39
  Are you ready to hear about it? Let's jump in!

  A long time ago, there was a man named Abram. Later, God would change his name to Abraham.
• 0:52
  One day, God spoke to Abram and gave him an amazing promise. God told Abram,
• 1:00
  leave your country, your people, and your father's house, and go to the land I will show you.
• 1:08
  I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you. I will make your name great,
• 1:15
  and you will be a blessing to others. Abram listened and obeyed God. Can you imagine how
• 1:23
  Abram felt? Leaving his home and everything familiar must have been hard. But Abram trusted
• 1:30
  God and obeyed. Abram packed up his things, along with his wife Sarai, his nevulot, and all their
• 1:40
  animals. It was a long journey to the land God promised. Let's pretend we're walking with them.
• 1:53
  Finally, Abram arrived in the land of Canaan. God told him, look around you.
• 2:01
  This is the land I will give to you and your descendants.
• 2:04
  Abram built an altar to worship God and thank him for his promise. Years went by, and Abram and Sarai
• 2:13
  still didn't have any children. They were getting older, and Abram wondered how God would keep his
• 2:21
  promise. But God told him, look up at the stars in the sky. Can you count them? That's how many
• 2:30
  descendants you will have. Abram believed God, even though it seemed impossible. And because of
• 2:39
  Abram's faith, God kept his promise. Later, God changed Abram's name to Abraham, which means
• 2:49
  Father of many nations. Isn't that a wonderful story? Abraham trusted God, even when it was hard
• 2:58
  to see how God's promise would come true. And do you know what's amazing? We are part of that
• 3:06
  promise. God's blessing to Abraham eventually led to Jesus, who came to save us all.
• 3:14
  Let's think about a few questions. Have you ever had to trust someone, even when you didn't
• 3:21
  understand everything? How can we show trust in God, just like Abraham did? What's something
• 3:31
  you're thankful for today that shows God's blessings in your life? Remember, God always keeps his
• 3:39
  promises. Even when it takes time, we can trust him because he loves us so much. Thank you for
• 3:47
  listening to today's story about Abraham and God's big promise. Next week, we'll hear about how God
• 3:55
  saved Lot from a dangerous situation. And later a very special baby who brought so much joy to
• 4:03
  Abraham and Sarah. And how nothing is impossible for God. Until then, remember, you are wonderfully
• 4:12
  made. Bye for now.
