    When God Asks For Your Isaac Series

    Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Jan 17, 2014

     | 86,506 views

    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?

    It has been said that Christians are like tea bags……they always do best when they get in hot water. In Genesis chapter 22, we find Abraham in the hottest water of his life as God tries his faith. The Bible teaches three key truths about trials in the life of a believer: 1) Trials come to ...read more

In fact the enemy will try to subdue the adversary so that they succumb to defeat. The information that they ...read more
