By Faith: The Testing + The Blessing

Faith isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about knowing the One who does. In this message, we break down what faith really is, why it requires obedience, and how it receives blessing. Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is the assurance of things we cannot see, but Abraham’s story shows us what that looks like when tested.

Abraham and Sarah waited decades for their promised son, Isaac. But just when they thought they had arrived at their happily ever after, God asked the unthinkable—sacrifice the very blessing He had given. Was this a cruel test? A contradiction? Or was God revealing something deeper?

What happens next is a game-changer not just for Abraham but for all of us. Mount Moriah wasn’t just any mountain—it was a preview of Calvary. Isaac’s near-sacrifice foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, the Son of God, for all humanity. And just as God provided a ram for Abraham, He provided the Lamb for us.
