  1. Part 10-The LORD Will Provide Genesis 22

  2. The LORD Will Provide • Have you found yourself relating to Abraham’s journey of faith? God calls him out to better promises in chapter 12, yet we see him all along the way making his own sinful and faithless choices. God remains faithful even as Abraham’s faith stumbles and falters. In the midst of Abraham’s faithlessness, however, we do see glimmers of a growing faith. He trusts God to deliver his nephew, Lot, not one, but two times. He trusts God to believe that his barren wife will give birth to a son, Isaac. By faith, Abraham calls out to God to spare Lot and his family from God’s destruction upon Sodom. Abraham had a faith not so dissimilar to our own. His faith was marked by seasons of faithlessness and sin, but ultimately we see Abraham’s faith mature as he willingly offers his most prized possession, his son Isaac.

  3. Genesis 22:1-2 Now it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” and he said, “Here I am.” The He said, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.”

  4. Are You Holding onto God’s Possessions With Open Hands? • Abraham was given a test that no parent would ever want to face. God was asking for His prized and promised son, Isaac. The test that God put before Abraham was this, “who do you treasure most?” • Abraham’s obedience clearly demonstrated that Abraham’s had learned to treasure his God above all else, including even his own son.

  5. Are You Holding onto God’s Possessions With Open Hands? Matthew 6:19–21, 2419 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal; 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.24 “No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. • What in your life are you holding onto with tight-fists instead of open-hands?

  6. Route to Mt. Moriah

  7. Genesis 22:3-10 3So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him. 4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted his eyes and saw the place afar off. 5 And Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey; the lad and I will go yonder and worship, and we will come back to you.” 6 So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together.

  8. Genesis 22:3-10 • 7But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” 8 And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together. 9 Then they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood. 10 And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

  9. Are You Surrendered to God’s Plan For Your Life • What would you do if you discovered God’s plan for your life was different than the plan you had envisioned? Earlier in Abraham’s life, Abraham had taken things into his own hands when his plan and God’s plan differed. This time, however, Abraham was committed to complete and unquestioned obedience to God’s revealed plan no matter the cost to him.

  10. Are You Surrendered to God’s Plan For Your Life • Romans 12:1, “I urge you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your reasonable act of worship.” • 2 Timothy 4:6–8, “For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing. • Are You Completely Surrendered to God’s Plan for Your Life?

  11. God’s Grace Super AboundsOur Deception (22-34) • Abimelech was the same king that Abraham had lied to regarding his relationship with Sarah (Ch. 20). This deception by Abraham put Abimelech and his people at great risk. When the plot was uncovered one might have expected Abimelech to angrily punish and forever break relationship with Abraham. God, however, had other plans and King Abimelech became the first to grant legal standing for Abraham to dwell in the land of Canaan peacefully! • Have you experienced God’s grace reconciling a relationship that your sin had damaged?
