Genesis 20-23 show us examples of faith tested, faith failed, and faith well-lived. Genesis 20 records when Abraham lied to a king named Abimelech in order to save his life. This was a deep violation of trusting God. In chapter 21, God visits Sarah and Abraham in their old age and miraculously, Sarah becomes pregnant! This was a promise fulfilled by God. Chapter 22 highlights a faith confirmed, Abraham is willing to trust God in a sacrifice. In Genesis 23, Sarah comes to the end of her life in Hebron, so we see Abraham purchasing the cave of Machpelah as a tomb. Today, we are going to concentrate on Genesis 22 and the testing of Abraham and Isaac’s faith. It is a stunning story. It is not only shocking that God would call Abraham to do this sacrifice, but also that Abraham would follow through! In the end, we see God stop
Abraham, and give us a foreshadow of His own provision and sacrifice.

Name Change; Genesis 33-35
When God began to deal with Jacob, Jacob moved to cleanse his household of evil. Even though they did not have the law of God yet (this would come with Moses later), they knew that worshipping idols and other gods was a violation against the one true God. In Genesis 35, we witness the change in J...
