In this eight-part series, Dr. Michael Youssef traces Abraham’s journey of faith and shows that true faith is marked by obedience, repentance, courage, truth, and total surrender to God. Through Abraham’s victories, failures, and testing, this series calls believers to trust the inerrant Word of God, reject compromise, intercede with urgency, and fix their eyes on Jesus Christ, the promised Son through whom God fulfills His covenant purposes.

In Part 3 of The Journey of Faith, Dr. Michael Youssef warns that self-centeredness is the first step backward in the life of faith. After returning to Bethel, Abraham repented and called on the name of the Lord, but Lot chose by sight, not by the Word of God. Scripture makes clear that greed, envy, and worldly compromise will wound the soul and pull believers toward spiritual ruin. Yet God’s mercy still calls His people to return, confess sin, and seek His forgiveness. This message points us to Jesus Christ, the divine intercessor, and calls every believer to reject compromise, pray with urgency, and follow God’s path in true repentance.
