Kade has been let down again.
After waiting excitedly for his mother's visit and the football boots she promised to bring, he is left disappointed and wondering whether there is anyone he can actually trust.
When Kade quietly admits to Mr Adams that he cannot afford the boots required to try out for the football team, Mr Adams finds a pair for him to use, and tells him about Someone whose promises can always be trusted.
Meanwhile, Melody's family-tree assignment leads her back to Abraham.
Mrs Jones explains God's extraordinary promise that Abraham would become the father of a great multitude, with descendants as numerous as the stars. There is only one obvious problem: Abraham and Sarah are old and still have no child.
Yet God keeps His promise.
Isaac is born, becoming an essential link in the family line through which the promised Rescuer will eventually come.
As Melody discovers how God's promises connect generations across the biblical story, Kade takes a tentative step towards something new: accepting help, joining the football team and perhaps beginning to discover that he doesn't always have to face life alone.
