GENESIS CHAPTER TWENTY-TWO OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is that Abraham is tested to make a sacrifice of Isaac.

Doubting Abraham

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 28, 2023

It is not the size of our faith that matters, it is the infinite faithfulness of God - who gives us faith enough to ask.

What is faith? The writer to the Hebrews gives us the definition in just a few simple words: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.” [Heb 11:1] And then he goes on to list, one after another, the heroes of the faith. Abel, Noah, Abraham, Moses, Samuel, ...read more

Contributed by Alison Bucklin on Mar 30, 2023

Whatever comes, the offering up of ourselves to God results in receiving more than ourselves, better than our selves, back again. God has provided the lamb.

It took a long time for Sarah to forgive Abraham. She knew something was wrong the minute Abraham and Isaac came back from their trip.

The Candle Of Humanity – How Good Is Good? Series

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 26, 2022

Laws laid down by God for right and wrong determine the destiny of the human race, and of individuals. Only when man comes to the Light, and he is revealed for what he is in the true light of God, then he can understand who he truly is in the sight of God.

THE CANDLE OF HUMANITY – HOW GOOD IS GOOD? There is the light of a candle in every person relating to goodness. That light connects with the knowledge of good and evil. The good a person has, is measured against the standard of man for what is good and evil. That is why the world can say, “He ...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
