Jehovah Jireh, My Provider

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jun 16, 2024

Today we look at the story of Genesis 22, and God's call to Abraham to sacrifice Isaac at Mt. Moriah. To fully understand the story, we need to look deep into Abraham's life, and see how God kept all His promises to Abraham, so we can see how he keeps His promises to us.

Jehovah Jireh, My Provider Good Morning. And a Happy Father’s Day. Today, we revisit Genesis 22, which, I will grant, that on the surface, seems to be a horrible Father’s Day reading. I skimmed through it 3 months ago in relation to Jesus comments about taking up His Cross. Today, we’ll look at ...read more
