Reading by Kara Cripps --- Genesis 22-24 https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%2022-24&version=ESV&interface=print
In Week 3 of the New Beginnings series, we asked the central question of Genesis 22: Will you lay it down? Through Abraham's test and Jesus' challenge to the rich young ruler, we saw that God often reveals our devotion by confronting what we love most, not to take it from us, but to ensure He remains first. The invitation is simple but costly: if anything stands in the way of fully following Jesus, will we trust Him enough to lay it down?
On the surface, the account of God calling Abraham to offer Isaac is one of the most difficult passages in the Bible. We can't imagine God actually calling any of His people to do such a thing. But we'll see in today's episode, that when we understand the context of this passage, and what Abraham knew to be true, we'll see that it was an amazing step of faith that actually shows us the kind of faith that God calls us all to. Please join us in this important study in God's Word! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Using a Bible atlas or online atlas, locate Beersheba on the map to the right. Also, locate the Wilderness of Moriah on the map. What importance does each of these locations have in Genesis 22? 2. This chapter contains God's command to Abraham to offer his son Isaac as a burnt offering. While we know how the story ends, this would be an unsettling command for anyone to hear. How does the miraculous origin of Isaac's conception help us understand why Abraham was so calm in his obedience to the Lord? How do the words "we" and "return" in verse 5 give us a window into Abraham's mindset as he obeyed the Lord? 3. In verse 8, Abraham assures Isaac that the Lord will provide a sacrifice. How has Abraham seen the provision of the Lord in his life before this? How have you seen the Lord provide in your life? How might dwelling upon God's prior provision give us strength in times of present distress? 4. Think about Isaac's age in this passage. Do you think a 120-year-old man could have physically put Isaac on the altar? What would have had to happen in order for Isaac to get on it? How does this likelihood help us understand Isaac's role in this event? 5. Isaac was Abraham's only link to something and someone. What and Who was Isaac the link to? What kind of faith did Abraham demonstrate by being willing to break this link, if that was to be the Lord's will? 6. This passage also gives us a picture of the substitutionary death of Christ. How? What did God's substitute mean for Isaac? What does Christ's substitute mean for us? 7. Verses 16 to 18 contain one of the most important promises in the Old Testament regarding who the offspring of Abraham are. Who are the "four seeds" suggested in the lesson? Which ones will be in God's Eternal Kingdom? Why? Are you among the believing seed spoken of in these verses? 8. Genesis 22 shows the kind of faith that this new nation would be founded upon. How would you summarize Abraham's faith and obedience from this event? Where does this kind of faith come from? 9. Are there any situations in your life where you simply need to trust and obey God as Abraham did here? Are you able to trust and obey Him? Why or why not? 10. Have you ever sung the children's song, "Father Abraham"? It says that he had many sons. In light of what the lesson has taught about this passage, who are those sons? When the song says, "I am one of them, and so are you," what does that mean? Is that true of you? Why or why not? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Today, God calls Abraham to do something that most of us would consider unthinkable, especially because we have the privilege of knowing God's character through the whole counsel of Scripture: He asks Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac as an offering to the Lord. Abraham trusts the Lord, and as the author of Hebrews later notes, “He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.” As you listen, consider the parallels between this sacrifice and the sacrifice of Christ, who did not have a ram to be His substitute, but who, instead, was the sacrifice Lamb who became our substitute.Genesis 22 – 1:10 .

Our faith will be tested, but never without purpose. In this message from Genesis 22, we walk through Abraham's greatest test and discover what authentic faith really looks like. God tests our priorities, calls us to obedience, and reveals Himself as the God who provides. As Abraham trusted God with what mattered most, we are challenged to examine our own faith and surrender every boundary to the Lord who rewards obedience with blessing.

Psalm 26 tells us David's love for his God. The Psalmist delights in every opportunity to extol the virtues of his Sovereign. David also tells of his detesting of the ways of the wicked. Psalm 27 speaks of the LORD being the light (revealer of what is right and honourable) and salvation (the process of saving and bringing to His kingdom of the faithful believers). The writer tells of the Almighty's capacity to defend the upright. He speaks of his Creator's pull on the writer's heart to seek fellowship with his God. And the Psalm concludes with a love and loyalty to his God which exceeds that of any human bond. David encourages himself in the assurance that his God will not see him abandoned into the hand of his foes. Wait he says on Yahweh; you will never be disappointed by taking this course. Psalm 28 says that "Yahweh is the strength and shield" of the psalmist. The thoughts are similar to God's consoling promise to Abraham at the start of Genesis 15. The confidence of knowing God is always with, and surrounding His children with His all-powerful arms. Yahweh will repay both the wicked and the righteous according to their works (Romans 2verses5-11). The response that such understanding generates in God's people is outlined in verses 6-9. Slowly read aloud; and pause and ponder.In chapter 14 of Matthew Herod is struck with terror on hearing of the miracles of Jesus. Herod Antipas, a convert of the Sadducees (and therefore a non-believer in the resurrection of the dead) was convinced that John the Baptist had been raised from the dead. Our Lord is told of John's brutal decapitation and in response responds by seeking solitude to reflect. This is interrupted by a multitude seeking him out and he compassionately responds to their need of a shepherd to teach them. He feeds 5,000 of them and heals many. John 6 tells us that their desire was to take him by force and make him their king. Jesus summarily dispersed the crowd and went into a mountain to pray. He sent the Apostles by boat to the other side of the lake. When the storm arose, he came to them walking on the water. Peter alone showed the faith and courage to briefly do likewise. He was rescued by his Master. Finally, upon reaching the other side of the lake Jesus healed many at Gennesaret.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

Text: Genesis 22 Preacher: Pastor John Schubert
In this lesson, we explore the powerful connection between John 3:16 and Genesis 22, the story known in Jewish tradition as The Binding of Isaac (the Akedah). While John 3:16 is one of the most quoted verses in all of Scripture—"For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son"—its language and message draw directly from Genesis 22, where God commands Abraham to offer up his son, his only son, whom he loves. This was not lost on first-century Jewish audiences. By Jesus' time, Isaac was no longer viewed simply as a passive figure, but as a willing and obedient martyr, joyfully accepting his role in God's redemptive plan. The Gospel of John echoes this interpretation, presenting Jesus as the fulfillment of that pattern—a Son given, not taken, whose willing sacrifice becomes the ultimate act of love. We'll cover: - The literary and theological structure of John 3:14–18 - How the first mention of “love” in the Bible (Genesis 22:2) shapes the meaning of John 3:16 - The concept of “olah” (burnt offering) and drawing near to God - How Abraham's journey mirrors the spiritual journey of offering what we love most - The surprising symbolism of the disappearing donkey - And a look at ancient Aramaic Targums, which show how Isaac's story was interpreted in Jesus' day This is a rich and layered study that connects two foundational texts in a deeply meaningful way.

Genesis 22.1-19 Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” 2 Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.” 3 So Abraham got up early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and his son Isaac; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and set out and went to the place of which God had told him. 4 On the third day Abraham raised his eyes and saw the place from a distance. 5 Then Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the boy will go over there; and we will worship and return to you.” 6 And Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and laid it on his son Isaac, and he took in his hand the fire and the knife. So the two of them walked on together. 7 Isaac spoke to his father Abraham and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” And he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” 8 Abraham said, “God will provide for Himself the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” So the two of them walked on together. 9 Then they came to the place of which God had told him; and Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10 And Abraham reached out with his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. 11 But the angel of the Lord called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” 12 He said, “Do not reach out your hand against the boy, and do not do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” 13 Then Abraham raised his eyes and looked, and behold, behind him was a ram caught in the thicket by its horns; and Abraham went and took the ram and offered it up as a burnt offering in the place of his son. 14 And Abraham named that place The Lord Will Provide, as it is said to this day, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.” 15 Then the angel of the Lord called to Abraham a second time from heaven, 16 and said, “By Myself I have sworn, declares the Lord, because you have done this thing and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 indeed I will greatly bless you, and I will greatly multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand, which is on the seashore; and your seed shall possess the gate of their enemies. 18 And in your seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.” 19 So Abraham returned to his young men, and they got up and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham lived in Beersheba.

How We Might Never Waste a Trial : Genesis 22 : Pastor Raef Chenery : 11-16-25 by Park Community Church
This weekend we dig into one of the most fascinating stories in Scripture: the directive from God for Abraham to sacrifice his son, Issac. Genesis 22 isn’t just a story about Abraham’s faith being tested. It’s a moment where God’s heart is revealed. It was on that mountain that God painted a picture of what’s to come, showing us that He Himself would one day provide the ultimate sacrifice. What Abraham experienced in shadow, we now see in full light through Jesus. He is the Lamb who was given so we could live.

In his message on Genesis 22, Pastor Andrew explores the profound story of Abraham's test of obedience, where God commands him to sacrifice his only son, Isaac. Andrew emphasizes that God tests the faith of His people to reveal their true commitment and trust in Him. He challenges listeners to consider the depths of their own allegiance to God and highlights that true obedience may come at a cost. The message underscores the idea that God will provide and bless those who choose to obey, drawing parallels between Abraham's willingness to sacrifice and God's own sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, out of love for humanity.
Fr. Matthew Zetouna - Genesis 22-50.m4a by Chaldean Diocese
Why is Abraham tested by God? Why are you tested by God? How can God stay true to all His promises when life looks the way it does right now in this moment? Surely Abraham feels this when he is raising his hand with the knife. It feels like God is turning His back on Abraham, and on us. But we find out in this passage that He tests us because He loves us. How does this make sense? find out in this sermon about the life of Abraham.
