Genesis 22 – Abraham’s faith is tested and affirmed

Read Genesis 22

- V1-14, This story may generate all sorts of questions and emotions…such as, given the length of time Sarah had waited until she gave birth to a child, do you think Abraham told her about this journey before he left ?

- V7, Isaac had been with his father to offer sacrifices many times, and knew that something was missing, but to what extent to we realise how much our children are watching and learning from us in our spiritual lives today, and do you think they recognise when there is something ‘missing’?

- This story really needs to be read alongside Hebrews 11 :17-19, what light does this shed upon Abraham’s faith, belief, and actions?
