    Genesis 22:1-19 “Abraham’s Test”
    By: Pastor Jon
    Series: Apologetics
    Scripture Passages: Genesis 22:1-19; Hebrews 11:17-19 Message Title: Abraham’s Test Thoughts for Reflection: One of the great refrains of the past 2 years has been the desire to “get back to normal”.  People all over the world pushed hard for the return to in-person events, all of the things that we knew before the pandemic shut-downs.  COVID-19 shook everything to its foundation and, if we’re honest, we didn’t like the discomfort that it brought.  Humans are creatures of habit, so the saying goes, and we pined for balance and equilibrium, for the known and the comfortable. Genesis 21 ends with Abraham settling into ‘normal’ life, having Isaac and, for the first time, really seeing the promises of God coming to be in his family.  “Some time later”, the Bible says, all of that changed and Abraham found himself in the middle of a very extreme test from God.  The big question at hand: “Does Abraham love God more than the present/future blessings promised by God?”  Abraham once again mounts the Roller Coaster of life following God’s call in faith, trusting that God would provide, just as He always does. Questions to take home:
    1. The Hebrew word for ‘test’ literally means “to evaluate a quality by stretching it to its limits”.  Have you ever felt like you were going through a test in your life?  What happened?  How did you respond?  What did God teach you through it?
    2. Can you imagine how Abraham must have felt on this three day journey to the place where he thought he would have to kill his son?  Read John 3:16 in this context.  Can you imagine how God must have felt, sending His Son knowing that He would suffer and die?
    3. Read John 21:15.  What is Jesus telling Peter to do here?  How does it relate to this narrative of Abraham’s test?  Read Matthew 28:18-20.  What is Jesus telling His disciples, followers, and us to do here?  How does it relate to this narrative of Abraham’s test?

    Genesis 13-14 “Abram & Lot”
    By: Pastor Jon
    Series: Apologetics
    Thoughts for Reflection:
    The first section of the book of Genesis chronicles God’s perfect creation of the universe and its subsequent spiral downward following the fall of humanity. Sin’s presence expands ever-outward, eventually infecting and affecting every aspect of the world and the results are disastrous. Yet, even in the midst of it, God is working out His plan of salvation and redemption, the fulfillment of the promise that He made in the Garden to Eve that her offspring would crush the serpent's head.
     
    When God calls Abram, it marks the beginning of a new movement of God in His redemptive plan. He will use a family and eventually a whole people/nation to eventually bring about His Messiah. Abram responds in obedience and worship, packing up his family and moving to Canaan. That, however, is not the end of Abram. As the “CALLED ONE”, God has chosen Abram to be the fulfillment of His redemptive plan, and now we follow Abram’s life as he tries, in obedience, to choose to trust and follow God.
     
    Questions to take home:
    1. Read Genesis 12:10-13:18. Contrast the way that Abram acts in Egypt to how he interacts with Lot. What is different? What are the effects of these decisions on Abram and on the people around him?
    2. Lot chooses a land that looks physically good but is woefully full of sin and the impact of that choice is seen for many chapters to come. What are some ways that we are faced with similar choices (benefits at the expense of morals, truths, etc.) in our lives, work, families, education, entertainment, etc. today?
    3. Consider Abram’s response to the victory that he has over the kings that took Lot and plundered the cities where he was living. How does this contrast to the decisions in question 1? How does it show Abram’s priorities and obedience? What can we learn from this?
