Sermon Notes for 9/14/2025

TITLE: A Promise and a Knife

SCRIPTURE: Genesis 21:1-10, 22:1-14

What Abraham only glimpsed in shadow, we see in full light: God will provide.

The God Who Keeps His Promises (21:1-3)

• A son was promised in Genesis 18
• In Genesis 21, Abraham’s tent is full
• What was once laughter in disbelief is now laughter of joy

The God who Tests His People (22:1-10)

• God tells Abraham to go to a place that He will show him
• Issac is to come with him… he will be the sacrifice
• God reassured Issac that God would provide
• God can be trusted even when His ways are hidden.

The God Who Provides (22:11-14)

• Issac was aware of what was going on
• At the last moment, God stops Abraham
• A ram was caught in the thicket
• When God calls us to trust Him, He also provides what we need to remain faithful.

God’s promises, God’s tests, God’s provision — all meet at the cross of Christ.
