What Kind Of Loving God Is That? Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Feb 20, 2021

The story of Abraham's call from God to sacrifice his only son, the son of the promise, can be confusing if we don't see the larger picture of God's love for humans.

2nd Sunday in Lent 2021 Imagine a young man, maybe eleven or twelve, picking up the Bible and reading this story of Abraham and his only son, Isaac. If he’s read the chapters leading up to this scene, he knows that Abraham and Sarah were promised a son by God, and that after decades of waiting, ...read more

Father And Son

Contributed by Doug Houck on Dec 21, 2020

God shared the pathos of His sacrifice of Jesus through having Abraham sacrifice Isaac. Two storytellers are needed: [#1] will tell the story of Abraham and Isaac, and [#2] will tell the story of God the Father and Jesus.

Introduction [#1] Genesis 22:1-2 This is a story of a Father, Son, and sacrifice. Usually we understand this chapter in terms of testing, faith, obedience, commitment, surrender, substitutionary sacrifice, The Lord Will Provide. It’s all in there. [#2] It also foreshadows another Father, ...read more

Abraham: The Offering He Didn't Want To Make Series

Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 29, 2021

Abraham was told to make a special offering. He didn't want to do it, but he didn't want to disobey the LORD, either. What could he do? What did he do?

Introduction: Several years have come and gone since Isaac was weaned (Genesis 21) and this encounter. Abraham had made a number of altars and had offered several sacrifices since he had come to Canaan, but this was an offering he didn’t want to make. Even so, he obeyed God and received a reward ...read more

Isaac: A Picture Of Jesus And A Picture Of Sinners

Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Nov 30, 2021

In some ways Isaac is a picture of Christ. As you read, think about what Isaac has in common with Christ. In other ways Isaac represents us as sinners. What does Isaac have in common with every sinner?


Genesis 22:1-19 Verse 1 …God tempted Abraham and said to him, “Abraham.” Abraham said, “Here I am.” “Tempt” means to test, try, prove 1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ...read more

Isaac: The Child Of The Promise Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 30, 2022

Isaac is portrayed throughout his life as a man of faith like his father. When we read the account of Mount Moriah we do not specifically read the reaction of Isaac. But we get the idea. If Abraham is trusting God with this, then so would his son Isaac.

Abraham was a man of faith. God spoke to Abraham on numerous occasions. Five times in Genesis records Abraham building an altar to God. The Altar at Bethel The LORD appeared to Abram and said, “To your offspring I will give this land.” So he built an altar there to the LORD, who had appeared to ...read more

The Lord Will Provide Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jun 4, 2022

The story of Abraham instructed to sacrifice his son reveals the obedience and faith of Abraham. God is sovereign and in control of our lives. He is able to provide in any need. He is able to provide for Abraham. He is able to provide for us.

Imagine your back is up against the wall. You have reached the end of your rope. Every prospect for the future is dark and gloomy. Maybe that is not so hard for you to imagine. That is when there is only one thing that could possibly turn the situation around. A miracle from God. Will God ...read more

God will provide the sacrifice.....

June 11, 2022 The genealogy of Shem in Genesis 11:10-32 marks an important change in Genesis.

When God Calls Your Name: Abraham Series

Contributed by Scott Bayles on Sep 11, 2021

How would you respond if God called your name not once, but twice? In the Bible, God calls plenty of people often by name, but I’ve only found seven times where God calls out someone’s name twice in a row. In each instance, what follows is a life-changing encounter with the God of creation.

When God Calls Your Name… Twice: Abraham Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 7/17/2016 How many of you are familiar with the gameshow The Price is Right?

A Foreshadowing Sacrifice Series

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Sep 15, 2021

Good Friday: God knew ahead of time that He would – and must – sacrifice His one and only Son in order to atone for the sins that separate people from Him. In Genesis chapter 22, we see a glimpse into the future of God’s plan of salvation.

I’ve entitled our message this morning, “A Foreshadowing Sacrifice,” which indicates that we’re going to be looking at something foretold long before it happened. I wish to begin our message this morning by sharing something out of the book of Acts. In Acts 8:31-35, we find the account of Philip ...read more

Overcome By Obedience Series

A truly amazing story in the OT is the promise that God made to Abram and Sarai that involved them having a son. Sarai unable to have children. The Promise was unexpected! As time went by, both of them passed the age of childbearing and there was a lot of mystery around God’s promise.
