In this stirring message, evangelist Bob Holmes reminds us of the limitless power of God. Drawing from Hebrews 11 and stories of faith, he illustrates how the Creator who spoke the world into existence can do anything, anywhere, at any time. Through personal testimonies and biblical examples, this episode calls listeners to renewed faith, trust, and courage in the God who still works miracles today.Topics DiscussedThe nature of faith from Hebrews 11God's power as Creator compared to man's inventionsTestimonies of God's providence in ministry and daily lifeHow faith emboldens us to face trials like David, Shadrach, Meshach, and AbednegoEncouragement to trust God rather than worryThe reality that God can work in any circumstance—palaces, prisons, deserts, hospitals, or even the belly of a fishPractical stories of answered prayer and miraculous provisionKey TakeawaysFaith pleases God: Without faith, it is impossible to please Him.God is unlimited: He is not bound by time, place, or circumstance.Worry denies His power: Trust replaces fear when we remember who God is.God still works today: Just as in Scripture, He answers prayer, provides, and shows His power in unexpected ways.Our role is trust and obedience: We can follow Him confidently, knowing He is already ahead of us.

07-20-25 | Abraham: Abraham and Isaac by Plainfield Christian Church

Pastor Al Dagel concludes a two-part look at Abraham and Isaac,  perhaps one of the most exciting accounts of faith found in the Old Testament.

Today, Pastor Al Dagel begins a two-part look at a strange situation that tested the faith of a father and showed us what to look for when we find ourselves needing a perfect sacrifice.   

In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the emotional weight of parenting a child with profound needs, drawing strength and perspective from the story of Abraham and Isaac. What happens when God asks you to trust Him with your child in ways you never imagined? This is a raw, honest reflection on surrender, heartbreak, and the fierce love of a mother learning to release control while holding onto faith. If you've ever wrestled with letting go or questioned God in the middle of your pain, this episode is for you.

In today's episode, we explore one of the most heart-wrenching and faith-defining moments in all of Scripture—Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Isaac in obedience to God's command (Genesis 22). We reflect on the weight of Abraham's obedience, the testing of his faith, and the foreshadowing of God's ultimate provision. Why would God ask for such a sacrifice? What does this story teach us about trust, surrender, and the cost of following God? Join us as we unpack the theological significance of this passage, affirm God's sovereignty and goodness, and draw encouragement for our own walk of obedience—even when it's painful. Tune in and be reminded that God always provides—and that our faith, when tested, is refined for His glory.

Pastor Chris Cobble | Genesis 21 - 22 | Denia Community Church - Denton, TX | deniachurch.com

Questions? Comments? Text Us!Does God test us? What does obedience to God really mean? In this episode of What's On Our Mind, Scott Langdon and Dr. Jerry L. Martin dive deep into the complex and often misunderstood concepts of obedience, trust, and free will in our relationship with God.Exploring the story of Abraham and Isaac, they discuss whether obedience is simply following commands or if it is something much deeper- a spiritual transformation that brings us into alignment with God's will. Is faith about blind submission, or is it a partnership with the Divine?Through thought-provoking analogies of music, dance, and orchestration, Scott and Jerry reveal how obedience isn't about rigid control but about harmonizing with God's presence in our lives. They also uncover God's ultimate desire- not to demand unquestioning obedience, but to lead us toward fulfillment, awakening, and divine partnership.Join us as we break down misconceptions about faith, question whether God truly “tests” us, and discuss how to discern God's voice in our lives. If you've ever struggled with trusting God's plan or wondered what it means to truly walk in faith, this episode is for you.

Are you willing to lay down your best plans for God's perfect will? Abraham placed his unwavering trust in God, even when it defied his understanding. Discover how surrender opens the path to divine provision.--We all have dreams, plans, and ideas we believe will lead to success. But what if God is asking us to lay them down? Abraham was prepared to sacrifice Isaac, trusting that God would still fulfill His promises. His faith wasn't in his plan, but in God's power.God calls us to surrender not because He wants to take from us, but because He wants to give us something greater. When we choose faith over control, we make room for His miraculous provision.

Josiah and Judah tell the stories of their favorite Bible heroes. In this story, Abraham is called the friend of God because God made a covenant with him. When God asked Abraham to honor that covenant and give Him his son, Isaac, Abraham obeyed God. The Bible says that Abraham's faith was counted to him as righteousness. Abraham is a hero because he trusted the Lord's promise to give him a son, and through Isaac, Jesus would be able to come to the earth. #kids, #storiesforkids, #biblestoriesforkids, #bedtimestoriesforkids, #christiankids, #Bibleheroes, #obeygod, #faith, #covenant, #fishbytesforkids, #fishbytes4kids, #fishbitesforkids, #ronandcarriewebb, #roncarriewebb

Micah looks at Genesis 22 and God's request to Abraham to sacrifice his only son, Isaac.

I give honor to Lisa for her faithful service to others, especially family. I try to understand why those who hated the unvaccinated have no remorse. How the ram in the thicket shows us Jesus, sharing the gospel far and wide and why even the truth we learn from conservative media may not be so healthy for our souls.

Lisa and I conclude our conversation with Doreen Virtue, expert on New Age tactics. I consider the wicked decision of the United Methodists, the command that Abraham not harm Isaac, why Abraham was commanded to circumcise his slaves and why Jesus is not a crutch for me, or anyone.

Thank you for joining us for worship today! In this sermon, Pastor Bob looks at the rest of Abraham's example in Hebrews 11 where God tests his faith by asking Abraham to sacrifice his only son Isaac.

Pastor Tim joins us for another week of "Foretold," magnifying the significance of how the story of Abraham and Isaac foreshadowed God's willingness to sacrifice His Son, Jesus, on the cross for our sins. // Verses and message notes: www.theridge.church/notes // Join us live online or in person Sundays at 9a + 11a: www.theridge.church/live

On this episode of The Hillsdale College Online Courses Podcast, Kyle and Juan discuss the challenging story of the binding of Isaac before introducing Justin Jackson. Genesis is a book of fundamental importance for the Jewish and Christian faiths and has exerted a profound influence on Western Civilization. In addition to being a great religious text, it is also a literary masterpiece. This course explores some of the work's major narrative themes, including the complex relationship between God and man, the consequences of a rupture in that relationship, and the path towards reconciliation. The binding of Isaac is the Genesis passage that generates the most commentary—though it is frequently misunderstood. The narrative presents two acts of faith: Abraham offering his son to God and Isaac offering himself to his father. Abraham submits to God's command, knowing full well that God will keep His promise.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
