JANUARY 1, 2023 | PASTOR ROGER MELSON | THE TESTING OF ABRAHAM | GENESIS 22:1-14

Today's message comes from Genesis 22:2-14. In the text we find three themes interwoven throughout the passage. They are: A Predominating Providence, A Proven Faith, and Prototypes Revealed. We will begin our study by touching upon two of these three themes.

As with any study of the Scriptures, we want to discover firstly, what does the text reveal about God and secondarily, what does the text reveal about God's salvation purposes. Therfore, I will give a brief and partial introduction to the Providence of God. It is a term little used today. What does it mean, and how does the Providence of God impact the world and our daily lives. That will be our departure point. Then we will look at the testing of Abraham's faith. The challenge set before him was one beyond our comprehension. What would it have been like to be in his sandals? We will explore that together.

As always, it is my pleasure that this sermon will be a blessing to you see if as an encouragement to your faith as you daily pursue our Lord.
