Faith in the Midst of a Trial

  • Genesis 22:2-14
  • Tyson Herald

What do you do when God asks you to trust Him with everything?

This week in our Courageous Faith series, we’ll look at Hebrews 11:17–19 where Abraham’s faith was put to the ultimate test—and how his story points us to the cross and God’s unshakable goodness. We hope you are reminded that even when faith is tested, God is faithful.

 

Discussion Questions

  1. According to verses 17–18, what did Abraham believe about God’s promise when he was told to offer Isaac?” What does this moment reveal about the kind of trust God calls us to—especially when obedience doesn’t seem to make sense?
  2. Verse 19 says Abraham reasoned/considered that God could even raise the dead. What does that show us about his view of God’s power and faithfulness? How can that strengthen our confidence when we face hard or uncertain moments?
  3. In verses 20–22, how did Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph express their faith in God’s future plans? Can you draw out any sort of reflections from their lives of faith that help us as we look toward the future?
  4. What stood out or challenged you from the message this week?
  5. How do you see Jesus as more beautiful and wonderful from this last week's text/sermon?
