God Calls Abraham is a free Sunday school lesson for Junior High (Ages 12-15), covering Genesis 12:1-9.
Theme: God calls us to follow Him in faith, even when we don’t know the way
Abraham’s call in Genesis 12 is the turning point of Old Testament history. God narrowed His redemptive focus from all humanity to one man — and through him, to Israel, and ultimately to Jesus. Abraham’s faith demonstrated radical trust: leaving everything familiar for an unknown destination based only on God’s promise. Hebrews 11:8 calls this faith. But Abraham’s faith was not flawless — he lie
Gospel Connection: God promised Abraham that through him, ‘all the families of the earth shall be blessed’ — a promise fulfilled in Jesus, Abraham’s descendant (Galatians 3:8).
