The Test : Genesis 22
For this week’s sermon titled “The Test,” the focus is on Abraham’s ultimate trial of faith in Genesis 22, where God commands him to sacrifice his son, Isaac. The central challenge is to “Pass the Tests” that God places before us.
Summary:
Years after parting ways with Hagar and Ishmael, Abraham faces one of the greatest tests of his faith: God asks him to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. This test is not just about obedience; it’s about revealing the true nature of Abraham’s heart and faith. Through this story, we learn that testing comes from God, often to reveal who we truly are and where our faith stands.
God’s test of Abraham required immense sacrifice, mirroring the ultimate sacrifice God would make through Jesus. Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac demonstrates the depth of his faith and trust in God, even when the command seems impossible. This narrative encourages us to reflect on what we are willing to sacrifice for God and challenges us to trust in God’s provision, even when the path is unclear.
Key Points:
Testing Comes from God: Trials are meant to reveal the true nature of our faith, similar to how God tested Abraham.
Testing Requires Sacrifice: Like Abraham, we might be asked to give up something precious, echoing God’s own sacrifice of His Son.
Testing Reveals Character: How we respond to trials and temptations shows what is truly in our hearts.
Our Faith and Commitment Are Tested: True faith is demonstrated through obedience and trust, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.
This sermon encourages us to embrace the tests in our lives, seeing them as opportunities to deepen our faith and trust in God’s plan. Just as Abraham’s faith was tested and proven genuine, so too can our trials reveal the strength and depth of our relationship with God.

Message of Hope : Genesis 21:8
Message of Hope | Genesis 21:8 – God’s Presence in Difficult Times
In this episode, we explore the story of Isaac’s weaning celebration, where what should have been a joyful occasion is marred by rivalry and bitterness between Sarah and Hagar. Despite the heartbreak and division, we see how God works through relational hardships. This message reminds us that even in the messiness of life—whether it be family fractures, personal conflicts, or unexpected challenges—God is still at work.
We delve into the reality that heartache can find us on happy days, and how God remains with us even in new, uncertain situations. Just as He was with Hagar and Ishmael in the wilderness, God is with us in our own desert experiences, guiding and sustaining us.
Join us as we unpack the truth that God doesn’t wait for us to be perfect to show His grace. In fact, He works powerfully in the midst of our imperfections and challenges. This episode challenges us to trust God’s presence in our lives, even when everything seems upside down.

Protecting what is important -Genesis 20
Protecting What’s Important
Scripture Reading: Genesis 20
In this episode, we explore the theme of protecting what’s most important in our lives—especially our relationships. Abraham’s repeated mistake of lying about Sarah reveals how easily we can compromise the things that matter most. We discuss the importance of setting healthy boundaries, prioritizing time together, and remaining accountable in our commitments. Drawing from Abraham’s story and God’s intervention with Abimelek, we emphasize that guarding our relationships requires trust, integrity, and relying on God’s guidance.
Out of Harms Way – Exodus 34:6-7
Out of Harm’s Way
READ: Exodus 34:6-7
CHALLENGE: Experience God’s Salvation
God’s nature is full of compassion, grace, and patience, yet His justice is unwavering. The passage in Exodus reveals God’s dual nature: forgiving the repentant but not leaving the guilty unpunished. We often focus on God’s love but overlook the reality of judgment. In this message, we’ll explore how God’s mercy rescues us from deserved wrath, how judgment is inevitable without repentance, and why embracing Christ leads us to eternal safety. Flee judgment by turning to God’s mercy!
