Series: Courageous Faith
Sermon: Trusting God's Plan: Life Lessons from Abraham
Scripture: Genesis 22:1-2
“Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!” “Here I am,” he replied. Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.””
Genesis 22:1-2 NIV
INTRODUCTION: Life is full of lessons that must be learned.
Life Lessons:
- Answer the Call...
“Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about.”
Genesis 22:3 NIV
- Act in Faith...
“On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.””
Genesis 22:4-5 NIV
- Avoid the temptation to try to figure it all out...
“Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?” “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied. “The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.”
Genesis 22:7-8 NIV
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight.”
Proverbs 3:5-6 NASB1995
CONCLUSION: Trusting God's plan ultimately leads us to the place of provision.
“So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.””
Genesis 22:14 NIV
