Bible Study: Genesis 12-33: The Father of Israel. Study led by Maryann Rogers in the Double Classroom.

John MacArthur’s Abraham is known as the "father of Israel" because God appeared to him and promised that his descendants would become a great nation. Yet Abraham is much more than the patriarch of a select group of ancient people. Through Abraham's descendants, God's own Son, Jesus, was born. It's through Abraham that God blessed all people.
