Genesis 22 is one of the most troubling stories in all of Scripture. In this sermon, Jeremy walks through the binding of Isaac with honesty, curiosity, and deep pastoral care. Rather than rushing to easy answers, he explores the generational trauma behind Abraham’s family, the God who sees Hagar, and why this difficult text challenges our imagination of God.
What if the real test in this story isn’t blind obedience?
What if God is inviting Abraham—and us—into a deeper understanding of divine goodness?
And what does this story reveal about the God who ultimately leads us toward compassion, justice, and the Christ who shows us God’s true heart?
Join us as we wrestle with:
• The God Who Sees
• The God Who Tests
• The Fallout
• The Second Question
• And how this ancient story reshapes our imagination of God
If you’ve ever struggled with this passage, you’re not alone. This sermon offers a thoughtful, hopeful path forward.
