Ge 13:3,4; 14:20-24; Prv 11:24
– God and others were more important than wealth
– He was more interested in and others than in himself

Who gets the first and best of all I have?

THE POWER TO PRIORITIZE: KNOWING THE TRUE ABRAHAM
“Abram let go of his wealth so he could keep his relationship with Lot.
Jesus gave up the ultimate wealth so he could have a relationship with us.”
