Introduction:
- Abram’s failure in Egypt.

1. Abram’s Return Journey (13:1-4).

3. God’s Promise Renewed (13:14-18).

Mid-Point Review
- Earthly riches lead to disappointment, quarrels and sin.
- Lot’s choice left him the poorer in the long run.
- Spiritual riches are investments in eternity.

4. A Battle and a Rescue (14:1-17).

Conclusion:

- Don’t be bought off by ungodly people.
- The true Christian is one who follows Abram’s example and willingly lays down
his (or her) crown at the feet of the King of Peace, even our Melchizedek, the Lord Jesus Christ.
- The only ‘currency’ recognised in His Kingdom, is love.
