Morning Service Live Stream
This week's message explores the profound Old Testament story of Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac on Mount Moriah (Genesis 22:8-19). This passage is unpacked as a pre-incarnate revelation of Jesus Christ and serves as a powerful illustration of the theme of sacrifice and unquestioning obedience required of every believer.
Join us to be challenged on what truly sits on the throne of your heart—your time, your money, or your God.
Service Breakdown
- Worship & Music: We open with the classic hymn "I Will Sing of My Redeemer" and conclude our music with the stirring "Jesus is Coming Again."
Bible Reading (Mark 15:21-38): We read the narrative of Christ's crucifixion, a reminder of the ultimate sacrifice.
- Children’s Corner: The children's lesson focuses on the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37), teaching the importance of loving your neighbor and showing kindness, even when it is difficult or unpopular.
- The Message (Genesis 22:8-19): The sermon highlights Abraham's journey to a moment of ultimate decision, where obedience trumps all else. It draws parallels between Isaac and Jesus as the Son of Promise and challenges the modern reluctance to live a sacrificial life of faith.
Key Themes You Will Hear
- The Revelation of Christ: Understanding the entire Bible as a revelation of the Lord Jesus Christ, even in Old Testament figures like Isaac.
- The Universal Requirement of Sacrifice: The challenging truth that worship and devotion are impossible without personal sacrifice—of time, finances, and self.
- The Sin of Delay: A hard look at how saying "let's pray about it" when God's will is already clear can be an act of disobedience.
- God Will Provide: Seeing the faithfulness of God, who ultimately provided the substitute ram, prefiguring Christ, the Lamb of God.
What Are You Willing to Sacrifice for God?
