Derek Walker explores the significance of Temples, focusing on the first 3 Temples on the earthly Mount Zion, pointing out the connections between the heavenly and earthly Temples. After God moved into the Tabernacle, He promised He would lead them to a holy Mountain of His choosing where His Sanctuary would be established. God had already set apart Mount Moriah, later called Mount Zion, when Abraham offered up Isaac on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22) and God promised that He would offer up His Son in that place (v8,14). From that time Mt. Moriah was God's ordained place of Sacrifice. Later David establish his capital in Jerusalem, and God revealed to him the location and plans for the Temple, especially the Holy of Holies, and the Altar (on Ornan's threshing floor) on Mount Moriah, to the north and above the City of David (1Chronicles 21-22). Later Solomon build the Temple there (2Chronicles 23:1) and it was filled with God's glory at its Dedication. It was destroyed by the Babylonians 432 years later because of Israel's idolatry, and rebuilt 70 years later in the same place as the 2nd Temple, which was later beautified by Herod the Great. This was the Temple in the time of Jesus, but was destroyed by the Romans in AD 70, because of Israel's rejection of Christ. There will also be a 3rd Temple of God on Mount Zion in the future (the Tribulation Temple), which God will use as a final outreach to Israel as well as the world, especially through the 2 witnesses. After 3.5 years the antichrist will desecrate it with the Abomination of Desolation (Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15, 2Thessalonians 2, Revelation 11). There will also be a 4th Temple on Mount Zion in the Millennium (Isaiah 2:1-4, Ezekiel 40-48).

Genesis 22 | Pastor Adam BowersIn this message, we explore one of the most difficult and powerful passages in the Bible: Genesis 22, where God tests Abraham by asking him to sacrifice his son Isaac.Why would a good God issue such a command? Is this a contradiction in the character of God? And how does this ancient story connect to the gospel and God's grace today?We'll look at:The real purpose behind God's testHow Abraham's faith points to a deeper trust in God's promisesThe significance of the substitute sacrificeWhat this moment reveals about God's plan of redemption through JesusThis passage challenges us to wrestle with tough questions, but also reveals the heart of God's love and mercy. Watch to discover how faith, grace, and obedience all come together in this pivotal story.Scripture: Genesis 22:1-19
Genesis 22:1-14 “The Compass and the Cross”Series: The Old, Old Stories Preacher: Derrick HarrisSunday MorningDate: 24th August 2025Passage: Genesis 22:1-14
Abraham's journey in Genesis 22-23 reveals profound lessons about faith and obedience. When God asked Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, Abraham demonstrated remarkable trust, believing God would somehow keep His promise. This test served as Abraham's 'graduation exercise,' confirming his faithfulness and foreshadowing Christ's sacrifice. After passing this test, Abraham faced Sarah's death with the same mature faith, purchasing burial land in Canaan rather than returning to his homeland. His actions demonstrated that he was living as though God's promises were already fulfilled—the true mark of mature faith.

Genesis 22:1-14
In our lives as Christians, we often overlook God's purpose for trials, testing, difficulties, among other challenges He may bring our way. One of the greatest challenges in all of Scripture is found in Genesis 22 when Abraham was tested by God to give His son, Isaac, in sacrifice. It's clear Abraham never lost his trust even in the midst of pain of potential loss. And after God's provision of a ram for the sacrifice, Abraham looked back and labeled what took place as victory of God's deliverance. This Monday Starter devotional comes from a sermon by a famous minister in his time, Alexander MacLaren. MacLaren noted some worthwhile actions and reflections we can take in our own lives to help us view our own trials, temptations, etc. in a different and more positive way.

Message from Joe Fleener on 10 August, 2025
This summer, we're journeying through the life of Abraham—one of the most significant and human stories in all of Scripture. Through divine encounters, setbacks, and slow formation, God shapes Abraham not just into a man of faith, but into a partner in His redemptive mission.At the heart of this series is a question:What does it mean to be discipled into partnership with God?From leaving comfort behind to learning trust…From receiving promises to waiting on them…From faltering in fear to walking in faith…Abraham's story shows us that true discipleship isn't about perfection—it's about transformation.Each week, we'll explore a different chapter in his journey—highlighting not only the tests and triumphs of Abraham, but the faithfulness of a God who draws near, forms His people, and invites them to participate in His purposes.This week, Pastor Jim Mullins teaches out of Genesis 22.WEBSITETo learn more about Redemption Tempe, find ways to get involved, or opportunities to serve, visit our website: https://tempe.redemptionaz.com.OUR APPDownload our app redtem.in/tempeappOR text "tempe app" to 77977STAY CONNECTEDFacebook: / redemptiontempe. .Twitter: / redemptiontem Instagram: / redemptiontempe.. .GIVINGEverything we have is a gift from the Lord because He owns it all.

Title: The Sacrifice of Isaac Part 3 Passage: Genesis 22:15-24 A Solemn Oath… …By a Sovereign and Immutable God… …To Bless the World Through Abraham's Offspring.
Jesus declared that all of the Old Testament, beginning with Moses' writings related to Him (Luke 24:27). Throughout our study of Genesis we have sought to reveal Jesus and His gospel.

Today, we have one of the most beautiful pictures of Jesus painted in the Old Testament narrative that makes us want to join the heavenly host in worship.

The post Genesis 22:1-19 appeared first on South Canyon Baptist Church.
“‘Don’t lay a hand on the boy!’ the angel said. ‘Do not hurt him in any way, for now I know that you truly fear God. You have not withheld from me even your son, your only son.’” (Genesis 22:12 NLT) The gripping story of Abraham and his beloved son Isaac gives us an unforgettable image of faith and sacrifice. Isaac was the son God promised to Abraham, a symbol of the covenant between Abraham and God. To say that Abraham had waited a long time for a son would be an understatement. When Isaac was born, Abraham was one hundred years old. His wife Sarah was ninety when she gave birth. Abraham was so delighted by his son that he named him Isaac, which means “laughter.” And laughter is what Isaac brought into the lives of Abraham and Sarah. Years later, the laughter turned into shock and fear when God said to Abraham, “Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much—and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you” (Genesis 22:2 NLT). There was no greater sacrifice that God could have requested from Abraham. Isaac was the joy of Abraham’s life. Abraham did not question or hesitate. He took Isaac, who was a young man at the time, to the place of sacrifice. With no animal in sight to offer, Isaac asked, “Father . . . where is the sheep for the burnt offering?” (verse 7 NLT) Abraham prophetically replied, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering” (verse 8 NKJV). God indeed provided the sacrifice, as an angel cried out, “Don’t lay a hand on the boy! . . . Do not hurt him in any way, for now I know that you truly fear God. You have not withheld from me even your son, your only son” (verse 12 NLT). At that moment, Abraham saw a ram caught in a thicket—a sacrifice he could offer to God in place of his son. The story of Abraham and Isaac is a foreshadowing of what would occur on the cross. God provided Himself a sacrifice. Unlike the story of Abraham and Isaac, God did not provide for Himself a sacrifice. He provided Himself as a sacrifice. God Himself became the sacrifice for our sins when He gave His only Son to die for us. If we ever start to get complacent in our Christian faith, one of the best things we can do is remind ourselves of the cost of our salvation and eternal life. God sacrificed that which was most precious to Him so that we might live. Jesus said, “There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13 NLT). If you want to experience a personal revival, embrace the opportunities you have to sacrifice for the One who sacrificed so much for you. How can you give up your time, resources, skills, and comfort to carry out God’s work? Answering that question may change your spiritual perspective in a profound way. Reflection question: What will you sacrifice for the cause of Christ?

Pastor John Pérez, nos comparte: ¡Respondiendo a Dios! – Campfire Sessions (PT1) Imagina una escena acogedora de noche, en lo profundo de un claro y tranquilo bosque.En el centro, una fogata resplandece cálidamente, proyectando luz dorada sobre un círculo de personas: familias y amigos sentados juntos sobre troncos y mantas. La luz del fuego ilumina rostros sonrientes: padres, hijos y amistades, todos envueltos en ese resplandor suave. Largas varillas con bombones se sostienen sobre las llamas, sus bordes dorándose lentamente. Al fondo, altos pinos se alzan hacia un cielo estrellado y brillante. Una persona, animada y expresiva, cuenta una historia bíblica mientras las demás escuchan con atención, los ojos abiertos de asombro. El aire se llena con el aroma del humo y el pinar, y las risas se mezclan con los suaves sonidos del bosque. El ambiente es cálido, acogedor y mágico: un momento perfecto de unión y transformación compartida. Esta serie explorara cada semana un lugar de refugio donde puedes renovarte en la presencia de Dios contra los ataques, presiones, y desánimos de la vida.
