| | (Better Covenant) 2 - The Inner Life by Zac Poonen
Topic:
Scripture(s): Psalm 103:7, Hebrews 2:17, Genesis 22:1-3 | | Description: Can you tell if you are more of a New Testament believer or an Old Testament one? Many, many Christians today are taken up with the externals and God's acts more than God's ways and the inner purity of their own heart. Brother Zac illustrates the principle by several men in the Old Testament that at times had a "new covenant" heart, such as Moses, David, Job and Abraham.

| | The Depth of the Gospel - Part 2 by Paul Washer
Topic: Gospel
Scripture(s): Genesis 22:2 | | Description: From between the towering monoliths of Gods justice, and His mercy, a beleaguered and hungry pilgrim pleads from amongst the airy climbs of the gospels’ narrow pathway to the ambivalent travelers’ content upon lower, wider ways. He cries that others would capture just a glimpse of the sheep-gate of love that is found in the radical subjection of the Son. Re-discover the tragically hopeful message of the gospel lest ye forget from whence ye have been saved O Pilgrim’s. Have we forgotten that If God spared us, that he did not spare His Son?

| | The Burnt Offering by Roy Hession
Topic: Burnt Offering
Scripture(s): Genesis 22:7-8, Hebrews 11:17-19, Leviticus 1:3-4 | | Description: Here in Genesis we read of the Lord testing Abrahams faith, which is confirmed in Hebrews 11. Isaac was to be the burnt offering which would produce a sweet smelling savour to the Lord, we see him here in the place of the lamb that bows his head instead of stiffening his neck. Pastor Hession shows there are 3 key sayings in these verses, 1: Where is the Lamb? when we are stubborn and self willed where are the lamb like qualities in us that marked the life of our Lord? 2: God will provide Himself a Lamb, this He did in the form of his Son, the Lord Jesus, Who was the only One Who could offer up a sweet smelling savour to God. 3: He shall be accepted for Him, here is the wonder of His substitution for us that God credits to us the sweet savour that ascended up from Calvary.

| | A Type and Its Teaching by C. H. Spurgeon
Topic:
Scripture(s): Genesis 22:8 | | Description: PUBLISHED ON THURSDAY, AUGUST 3RD, 1916. DELIVERED BY C. H. SPURGEON AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON. “And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering.” — Genesis 22:8. How stern the trial; how striking the triumph; how sublime, both in action and passion, was the faith of Abraham in that terrible crisis. It pleased God to try him on a very tender point. Abraham had received a great promise, on the fulfillment of which he greatly relied. Year after year elapsed, but no sign of the long-looked-for child appeared. At length old age crept over the patriarch and his wife. Still he looked steadfastly for the promise, because he believed implicitly in the Promiser. He considered not the infirmities of his own body, nor the deadness of Sarah's womb; but he waited patiently, nothing doubting that God would in due time, according to his promise, give him a son. What marvel that this son, when born, should be the object of his fondest affection! Moreover, a strange halo of hope gathers round the lad's head, for God has made him the heir of a covenant. It is in Isaac and in Isaac's seed that God will fulfill his covenant which he has made with Abraham. Nay, something more mysterious still is linked with that youth's life. It is in him that all the nations of the earth must be blessed. And now when the Lord says, “Take thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest,” there is a cut in every word at the most tender part of Abraham's soul.

| | (Genesis) - Part 20 by Zac Poonen
Topic:
Scripture(s): Genesis 22:10-23:20 | | Description: The test that Abraham passed in offering up Isaac is whether he feared God or not. We face this same test not in the areas we obey so easily but in immediate obedience in the things God speaks to our hearts in secret. Our worship is not measured by our correct doctrine or what songs we sing but whether we give to God that which costs us something; it's our attitude towards God that matters most.
