In our worship service this week, we conclude our monthlong sermon series Traveling Together, where we have journeyed with Abraham and Sarah in all their earnest, imperfect, and all-too-human attempts to believe God’s promises and live accordingly.
This Sunday, we hear perhaps the most difficult part of their story from Genesis Chapter 22, as Abraham is instructed by God to sacrifice his son Isaac, and he follows God’s instructions diligently before God intervenes at the last moment. It is a tough scripture, but we will learn some powerful lessons about our God through it. Perhaps most importantly, we will celebrate that this story is a reminder that Jesus Christ… our savior… was God’s great plan all along.
