When God Asks For Your Isaac Series

Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Jan 17, 2014

God asked Abraham to lay down his Isaac. His story is an incredible picture of the Cross and how God loved us enough to surrender His Son, Jesus, for our sin. Do we love Him enough to surrender our Isaac today?

The Bible teaches three key truths about trials in the life of a believer: 1) Trials come to ...read more
