Pastor’s Message
In Genesis 22, God tested Abraham by instructing him to offer up his only son Isaac as a burnt offering. Abraham in complete obedience, trust, and faith in God did not waver, he made the preparations, made the journey as instructed, built the altar and laid his son upon the altar. The angel of the Lord called from heaven and interceded, stopping Abraham.
Because he did these things God called from heaven a second time and affirms his promise to him. In Galatians 3:16 the apostle Paul affirms this when he wrote, “Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made.” Here the apostle Paul quotes Genesis 12:3, the original promise. All nations, including the Gentile nations have been blessed by the promised seed of Abraham, the Lord Jesus Christ.
