ABRAHAM (Profiles In Courage)

Rebooting a series that debuted in 2021, this week we are looking at Abraham and the path he took as he courageously obeyed his God.  Our text comes from Genesis 22, the retelling of Abraham's sacrifice of his son Isaac.  Isaac was the promised heir and the one through which God would make Abraham a mighty nation.  In choosing to follow the Lord, Abraham shows an outward obedience despite any inward hesitation he may have felt. He shows that God brings provision through our obedience.  Finally, God does not forget His promise to Abraham and makes good on all He said He would do.  

We know the names of these Profiles In Courage, these heroes of the faith, because they stepped out.  If they had refused, their account would not have made it into the Biblical record.  But because we know their names and their stories, we can take heart.  God goes with us and before us into the steps of faith we must take.
