  Yesterday's

  schedules
• 0:05
  may
• 0:05
  have
• 0:05
  been
• 0:06
  thrown
• 0:06
  off
• 0:06
  with
• 0:06
  the
• 0:06
  day
• 0:06
  off
• 0:07
  of

  school.
• 0:07
  Wherever
• 0:08
  you're
• 0:08
  at
• 0:08
  in
• 0:08
  this
• 0:08
  plan,
• 0:09
  don't
• 0:09
  feel
• 0:09
  behind.
• 0:10
  The
• 0:10
  Lord
• 0:10
  is
• 0:11
  just
• 0:11
  pleased
• 0:11
  that
• 0:11
  you're
• 0:11
  seeking
• 0:12
  him
• 0:12
  right
• 0:12
  now.
• 0:13
  Today
• 0:13
  we're
• 0:13
  covering
• 0:13
  Genesis
• 0:14
  Chapters
• 0:14
  20
• 0:15
  through
• 0:15
  23.
• 0:16
  We've
• 0:16
  seen
• 0:16
  a
• 0:16
  pattern
• 0:17
  with
• 0:17
  Abraham
• 0:17
  that
• 0:18
  he
• 0:18
  is
• 0:18
  quick
• 0:18
  to
• 0:18
  obey,
• 0:19
  and
• 0:19
  he
• 0:19
  will
• 0:19
  be
• 0:20
  even
• 0:20
  in
• 0:20
  the
• 0:20
  most
• 0:21
  difficult
• 0:21
  test
• 0:21
  he
• 0:22
  has
• 0:22
  ever
• 0:22
  given.
• 0:23
  Before
• 0:23
  we
• 0:23
  get
• 0:23
  to
• 0:23
  his
• 0:23
  highlight
• 0:24
  reel,
• 0:24
  let's
• 0:25
  look
• 0:25
  at
• 0:25
  chapter
• 0:25
  20.
• 0:26
  Unfortunately,
• 0:26
  Abraham
• 0:27
  repeats
• 0:27
  the
• 0:28
  exact
• 0:28
  same
• 0:28
  sin
• 0:29
  he
• 0:29
  did
• 0:29
  in
• 0:29
  chapter
• 0:29
  12
• 0:30
  when
• 0:30
  he
• 0:30
  lied
• 0:30
  to
• 0:31
  Abbi
• 0:31
  and
• 0:31
  said
• 0:31
  that
• 0:32
  Sarah
• 0:32
  was
• 0:32
  his
• 0:32
  sister.
• 0:33
  Now
• 0:33
  this
• 0:33
  ruler
• 0:33
  in
• 0:34
  chapter
• 0:34
  20
• 0:34
  has
• 0:34
  the
• 0:35
  same
• 0:35
  name,
• 0:35
  but
• 0:35
  it's
• 0:36
  either
• 0:36
  the
• 0:36
  father
• 0:37
  or
• 0:37
  the
• 0:37
  grandfather
• 0:38
  of
• 0:38
  the
• 0:38
  first
• 0:39
  eek,
• 0:39
  and
• 0:39
  this
• 0:39
  is
• 0:39
  about
• 0:39
  25
• 0:40
  years
• 0:40
  after
• 0:41
  In
• 0:41
  verse
• 0:41
  three,
• 0:42
  one
• 0:42
  of
• 0:42
  the
• 0:42
  most
• 0:42
  powerful
• 0:43
  two
• 0:43
  word
• 0:43
  phrases
• 0:44
  in
• 0:44
  all
• 0:44
  of
• 0:44
  scripture
• 0:45
  is
• 0:45
  written,
• 0:45
  but
• 0:46
  God.
• 0:46
  But
• 0:47
  God
• 0:47
  came
• 0:47
  to
• 0:47
  Abe
• 0:48
  in
• 0:48
  a
• 0:48
  dream
• 0:48
  by
• 0:49
  night
• 0:49
  and
• 0:49
  said
• 0:49
  to
• 0:49
  him.
• 0:50
  Behold,
• 0:50
  you
• 0:51
  are
• 0:51
  a
• 0:51
  dead
• 0:51
  man
• 0:52
  because
• 0:52
  of
• 0:52
  the
• 0:52
  woman
• 0:53
  whom
• 0:53
  you
• 0:53
  have
• 0:53
  taken
• 0:54
  for.
• 0:54
  She
• 0:54
  is
• 0:55
  a
• 0:55
  man's
• 0:55
  wife
• 0:56
  now.
• 0:56
  Abila
• 0:56
  had
• 0:57
  not
• 0:57
  approached
• 0:57
  her.
• 0:58
  Scripture
• 0:58
  is
• 0:58
  very
• 0:59
  clear
• 0:59
  here,
• 0:59
  and
• 1:00
  the
• 1:00
  reason
• 1:00
  is
• 1:00
  that
• 1:00
  the
• 1:01
  next
• 1:01
  chapter
• 1:01
  will
• 1:02
  tell
• 1:02
  us
• 1:02
  that
• 1:02
  the
• 1:02
  son
• 1:03
  of
• 1:03
  the
• 1:03
  promise
• 1:03
  is
• 1:04
  finally
• 1:04
  born.
• 1:04
  The
• 1:04
  Lord
• 1:05
  most
• 1:05
  certainly
• 1:05
  intervened
• 1:06
  before
• 1:07
  anything
• 1:07
  could
• 1:07
  happen
• 1:07
  to
• 1:08
  Sarah
• 1:08
  to
• 1:08
  make
• 1:08
  sure
• 1:09
  that
• 1:09
  the
• 1:09
  covenant
• 1:09
  was
• 1:09
  protected.
• 1:10
  Abraham
• 1:11
  is
• 1:11
  the
• 1:11
  father
• 1:11
  of
• 1:11
  Isaac,
• 1:12
  and
• 1:12
  it
• 1:12
  could
• 1:12
  be
• 1:12
  no
• 1:13
  other
• 1:14
  Aek
• 1:14
  says,
• 1:14
  in
• 1:14
  the
• 1:14
  integrity
• 1:15
  of
• 1:15
  my
• 1:15
  heart
• 1:15
  and
• 1:15
  the
• 1:15
  innocence
• 1:16
  of
• 1:16
  my
• 1:16
  hands,
• 1:17
  I
• 1:17
  have
• 1:17
  not
• 1:17
  done
• 1:17
  this.
• 1:18
  And
• 1:18
  the
• 1:18
  Lord
• 1:19
  tells
• 1:19
  him
• 1:19
  I
• 1:19
  know.
• 1:20
  And
• 1:20
  it
• 1:20
  was
• 1:20
  I
• 1:20
  who
• 1:21
  kept
• 1:21
  you
• 1:21
  from
• 1:21
  sinning
• 1:22
  Abraham
• 1:22
  tells
• 1:22
  him,
• 1:23
  I
• 1:23
  could
• 1:23
  tell
• 1:23
  there
• 1:23
  was
• 1:23
  no
• 1:23
  fear
• 1:24
  of
• 1:24
  God
• 1:24
  in
• 1:24
  this
• 1:24
  place,
• 1:25
  but
• 1:25
  it
• 1:25
  sure
• 1:25
  seems
• 1:26
  that
• 1:26
  Abraham
• 1:26
  was
• 1:26
  wrong
• 1:27
  interestingly,
• 1:28
  the
• 1:28
  Lord
• 1:28
  still
• 1:28
  uses
• 1:29
  Abraham
• 1:29
  to
• 1:29
  pray
• 1:30
  to
• 1:30
  heal
• 1:30
  them.
• 1:31
  Once
• 1:31
  again,
• 1:31
  we
• 1:31
  see
• 1:32
  fallen
• 1:32
  people
• 1:32
  being
• 1:33
  used
• 1:33
  by
• 1:33
  a
• 1:33
  perfect
• 1:34
  holy
• 1:34
  God
• 1:35
  In
• 1:35
  Chapter
• 1:35
  21,
• 1:36
  the
• 1:36
  promise
• 1:36
  is
• 1:37
  finally
• 1:37
  fulfilled
• 1:38
  after
• 1:38
  about
• 1:38
  25
• 1:39
  years.
• 1:39
  Abraham
• 1:40
  is
• 1:40
  a
• 1:40
  hundred,
• 1:40
  and
• 1:40
  Sarah
• 1:41
  is
• 1:41
  90.
• 1:41
  And
• 1:41
  we're
• 1:41
  told
• 1:42
  the
• 1:42
  Lord
• 1:42
  visited
• 1:43
  Sarah
• 1:43
  as
• 1:43
  he
• 1:44
  had
• 1:44
  said,
• 1:44
  and
• 1:44
  the
• 1:44
  Lord
• 1:45
  did
• 1:45
  to
• 1:45
  Sarah
• 1:46
  as
• 1:46
  he
• 1:46
  had
• 1:46
  promised.
• 1:47
  And
• 1:47
  Sarah
• 1:47
  conceived
• 1:48
  and
• 1:48
  bore
• 1:49
  Abraham's
• 1:49
  son
• 1:50
  in
• 1:50
  his
• 1:50
  old
• 1:50
  age
• 1:51
  at
• 1:51
  the
• 1:51
  time
• 1:51
  of
• 1:52
  which
• 1:52
  God
• 1:52
  had
• 1:52
  spoken
• 1:52
  to
• 1:53
  him.
• 1:53
  This
• 1:53
  is
• 1:53
  different
• 1:54
  than
• 1:54
  Jesus'
• 1:54
  birth.
• 1:55
  In
• 1:55
  the
• 1:55
  New
• 1:55
  Testament,
• 1:56
  Jesus
• 1:56
  was
• 1:56
  conceived
• 1:57
  by
• 1:57
  the
• 1:57
  Holy
• 1:57
  Spirit,
• 1:58
  but
• 1:58
  we
• 1:58
  were
• 1:58
  told
• 1:58
  that
• 1:59
  the
• 1:59
  Lord
• 1:59
  had
• 1:59
  closed
• 1:59
  Sarah's
• 2:00
  womb.
• 2:00
  When
• 2:00
  he
• 2:00
  visited
• 2:01
  Sarah,
• 2:01
  he
• 2:02
  opened
• 2:02
  her
• 2:02
  womb,
• 2:02
  so
• 2:03
  then
• 2:03
  she
• 2:03
  could
• 2:03
  naturally
• 2:04
  conceive
• 2:04
  Abraham's
• 2:05
  child.
• 2:05
  It's
• 2:06
  still
• 2:06
  an
• 2:06
  absolute
• 2:07
  miracle
• 2:07
  that
• 2:07
  a
• 2:07
  couple
• 2:08
  of
• 2:08
  this
• 2:08
  age
• 2:08
  would
• 2:08
  be
• 2:09
  able
• 2:09
  to
• 2:09
  biologically
• 2:10
  conceive
• 2:11
  a
• 2:11
  child.
• 2:11
  In
• 2:11
  verse
• 2:12
  six,
• 2:12
  Sarah
• 2:12
  says,
• 2:13
  God
• 2:13
  has
• 2:13
  made
• 2:14
  laughter
• 2:14
  for
• 2:14
  me.
• 2:15
  Everyone
• 2:15
  who
• 2:15
  hears
• 2:15
  will
• 2:16
  laugh
• 2:16
  over
• 2:16
  me
• 2:16
  Isaac's
• 2:17
  name
• 2:17
  means
• 2:18
  He
• 2:18
  laughs.
• 2:19
  It
• 2:19
  feels
• 2:19
  so
• 2:19
  redemptive
• 2:20
  here.
• 2:20
  She
• 2:21
  got
• 2:21
  scolded
• 2:21
  for
• 2:21
  laughing
• 2:22
  earlier
• 2:22
  that
• 2:22
  God
• 2:23
  could
• 2:23
  do
• 2:23
  this,
• 2:24
  and
• 2:24
  now
• 2:24
  she's
• 2:24
  saying,
• 2:24
  God,
• 2:25
  I
• 2:25
  get
• 2:25
  it.
• 2:26
  You
• 2:26
  are
• 2:26
  able,
• 2:27
  and
• 2:27
  I
• 2:28
  will
• 2:28
  laugh,
• 2:28
  but
• 2:29
  with
• 2:29
  joy,
• 2:30
  even
• 2:30
  though
• 2:30
  this
• 2:30
  incredible
• 2:31
  promise
• 2:31
  is
• 2:31
  fulfilled,
• 2:32
  it
• 2:32
  doesn't
• 2:33
  mean
• 2:33
  it's
• 2:33
  going
• 2:33
  to
• 2:33
  be
• 2:33
  smooth
• 2:34
  sailing.
• 2:34
  As
• 2:35
  Isaac
• 2:35
  grew,
• 2:35
  Ishmael
• 2:36
  was
• 2:36
  cruel
• 2:36
  to
• 2:36
  him,
• 2:37
  given
• 2:37
  the
• 2:37
  Lord's
• 2:38
  prophetic
• 2:38
  words
• 2:38
  about
• 2:38
  Ishmael's
• 2:39
  future.
• 2:40
  It's
• 2:40
  not
• 2:40
  surprising,
• 2:41
  and
• 2:41
  Sarah
• 2:41
  wants
• 2:42
  Hagar
• 2:42
  and
• 2:42
  Ishmael
• 2:43
  cast
• 2:43
  out
• 2:43
  the
• 2:43
  legal
• 2:44
  codes
• 2:44
  of
• 2:44
  this
• 2:44
  day
• 2:44
  would've
• 2:45
  forbidden
• 2:45
  it.
• 2:46
  If
• 2:46
  there
• 2:46
  is
• 2:46
  a
• 2:46
  rightful
• 2:47
  heir.
• 2:47
  It
• 2:48
  would've
• 2:48
  been
• 2:48
  wrong
• 2:48
  to
• 2:48
  cast
• 2:49
  them
• 2:49
  out,
• 2:49
  but
• 2:49
  the
• 2:49
  Lord
• 2:49
  tells
• 2:50
  Abraham,
• 2:50
  it's
• 2:51
  okay.
• 2:51
  I'm
• 2:52
  going
• 2:52
  to
• 2:52
  turn
• 2:52
  Ishmael
• 2:53
  into
• 2:53
  a
• 2:53
  nation.
• 2:54
  Listen
• 2:54
  to
• 2:54
  your
• 2:55
  wife.
• 2:55
  Ishmael
• 2:56
  would've
• 2:56
  been
• 2:56
  about
• 2:56
  17
• 2:57
  years
• 2:57
  old
• 2:57
  at
• 2:57
  this
• 2:57
  point,
• 2:58
  the
• 2:58
  conflict
• 2:59
  that
• 2:59
  we
• 2:59
  see
• 2:59
  in
• 2:59
  the
• 2:59
  Middle
• 3:00
  East
• 3:00
  today
• 3:00
  began
• 3:01
  because
• 3:02
  Sarah
• 3:02
  and
• 3:02
  Abraham
• 3:03
  took
• 3:03
  matters
• 3:03
  into
• 3:03
  their
• 3:03
  own
• 3:04
  hands
• 3:04
  and
• 3:04
  did
• 3:04
  not
• 3:05
  wait
• 3:05
  for
• 3:05
  the
• 3:05
  Lord
• 3:05
  to
• 3:06
  act
• 3:06
  as
• 3:06
  Christians.
• 3:07
  We
• 3:08
  believe
• 3:08
  Isaac
• 3:08
  was
• 3:08
  the
• 3:09
  son
• 3:09
  of
• 3:09
  the
• 3:09
  promise,
• 3:10
  but
• 3:10
  we
• 3:10
  know

  In

  chapter

  21,
• 3:22
  the
• 3:22
  tenderness
• 3:22
  of
• 3:22
  the
• 3:23
  Lord
• 3:23
  is
• 3:23
  so
• 3:23
  apparent
• 3:24
  once
• 3:24
  again
• 3:24
  to
• 3:24
  Hagar.
• 3:25
  Her
• 3:25
  son
• 3:25
  is
• 3:25
  dying
• 3:26
  from
• 3:26
  thirst
• 3:27
  and
• 3:27
  she
• 3:27
  can't
• 3:27
  watch.
• 3:28
  She
• 3:28
  lifts
• 3:28
  up
• 3:29
  her
• 3:29
  voice
• 3:29
  and
• 3:29
  weeps
• 3:30
  2117
• 3:31
  tells
• 3:32
  us.
• 3:32
  And
• 3:32
  God
• 3:32
  heard
• 3:33
  the
• 3:33
  voice
• 3:33
  of
• 3:33
  the
• 3:33
  boy
• 3:34
  and
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  angel
• 3:35
  of
• 3:35
  God
• 3:35
  called
• 3:35
  to
• 3:35
  Hagar
• 3:36
  from
• 3:36
  heaven
• 3:36
  and
• 3:36
  said
• 3:37
  to
• 3:37
  her,
• 3:37
  what
• 3:37
  troubles
• 3:38
  you,
• 3:38
  Hagar?
• 3:39
  Fear
• 3:39
  not?
• 3:40
  For
• 3:40
  the
• 3:40
  Lord
• 3:40
  has
• 3:40
  heard
• 3:41
  the
• 3:41
  voice
• 3:41
  of
• 3:41
  the
• 3:42
  boy
• 3:42
  where
• 3:42
  he
• 3:42
  is,
• 3:43
  lift
• 3:43
  up
• 3:44
  the
• 3:44
  boy
• 3:44
  and
• 3:44
  hold
• 3:45
  him
• 3:45
  fast
• 3:45
  with
• 3:45
  your
• 3:45
  hand,
• 3:46
  for
• 3:46
  I
• 3:47
  will
• 3:47
  make
• 3:47
  him
• 3:47
  into
• 3:47
  a
• 3:48
  great
• 3:48
  nation.
• 3:49
  Then
• 3:49
  God
• 3:49
  opened
• 3:50
  her
• 3:50
  eyes
• 3:50
  and
• 3:51
  she
• 3:51
  saw
• 3:51
  a
• 3:51
  well
• 3:51
  of
• 3:52
  water.
• 3:52
  In
• 3:52
  Hagar's
• 3:53
  first
• 3:53
  encounter
• 3:54
  with
• 3:54
  the
• 3:54
  Lord,
• 3:54
  he
• 3:55
  made
• 3:55
  himself
• 3:55
  known
• 3:56
  as
• 3:56
  the
• 3:56
  God
• 3:56
  who
• 3:56
  sees
• 3:57
  her.
• 3:57
  And
• 3:57
  the
• 3:57
  God
• 3:58
  who
• 3:58
  hears
• 3:59
  Ishmael
• 3:59
  means
• 3:59
  God
• 4:00
  hears
• 4:01
  and
• 4:01
  we're
• 4:01
  told
• 4:01
  God
• 4:02
  heard
• 4:02
  his
• 4:02
  voice.
• 4:03
  It
• 4:03
  makes
• 4:03
  me
• 4:03
  wonder
• 4:04
  when
• 4:04
  we're
• 4:04
  told
• 4:04
  that
• 4:04
  God
• 4:05
  opened
• 4:05
  her
• 4:05
  eyes
• 4:05
  and
• 4:06
  she
• 4:06
  saw
• 4:06
  a
• 4:06
  well
• 4:06
  of
• 4:06
  water.
• 4:07
  Did
• 4:07
  the
• 4:07
  Lord
• 4:07
  just
• 4:08
  make
• 4:08
  it
• 4:08
  appear
• 4:08
  or
• 4:09
  had
• 4:09
  her
• 4:09
  eyes
• 4:09
  been
• 4:09
  blinded
• 4:10
  before?
• 4:10
  But
• 4:11
  it
• 4:11
  makes
• 4:11
  me
• 4:11
  pray
• 4:11
  that
• 4:12
  I
• 4:12
  would
• 4:12
  have
• 4:12
  eyes
• 4:13
  to
• 4:13
  see
• 4:13
  hope
• 4:13
  in
• 4:14
  all
• 4:14
  circumstances.
• 4:15
  I
• 4:15
  had
• 4:15
  a
• 4:15
  season
• 4:16
  that
• 4:16
  reminded
• 4:16
  me
• 4:16
  so
• 4:17
  much
• 4:17
  of
• 4:17
  Hagar's
• 4:17
  experience
• 4:18
  here,
• 4:18
  and
• 4:19
  the
• 4:19
  Lord
• 4:19
  absolutely
• 4:20
  brought
• 4:20
  me
• 4:20
  through.
• 4:21
  One
• 4:21
  of
• 4:21
  my
• 4:21
  children
• 4:22
  became
• 4:22
  sick,
• 4:23
  he
• 4:23
  was
• 4:23
  losing
• 4:23
  the
• 4:24
  ability
• 4:24
  to
• 4:24
  walk
• 4:24
  and
• 4:25
  to
• 4:25
  even
• 4:25
  hold
• 4:25
  up
• 4:25
  his
• 4:26
  head.
• 4:26
  We
• 4:26
  were
• 4:26
  struggling
• 4:27
  financially.
• 4:28
  My
• 4:28
  husband
• 4:28
  didn't
• 4:28
  have
• 4:29
  a
• 4:29
  job
• 4:29
  and
• 4:29
  was
• 4:30
  reeling
• 4:30
  from
• 4:30
  his
• 4:30
  diagnosis
• 4:31
  of
• 4:31
  MS,
• 4:32
  and
• 4:32
  our
• 4:32
  health
• 4:32
  insurance
• 4:33
  was
• 4:33
  about
• 4:33
  to
• 4:33
  lapse.
• 4:34
  I
• 4:34
  can
• 4:34
  remember
• 4:35
  crying
• 4:35
  in
• 4:35
  a
• 4:35
  grocery
• 4:36
  store
• 4:36
  parking
• 4:36
  lot
• 4:37
  because
• 4:37
  I
• 4:37
  couldn't
• 4:37
  get
• 4:38
  a
• 4:38
  gift
• 4:38
  card.
• 4:38
  To
• 4:38
  work.
• 4:39
  Hagar
• 4:39
  felt
• 4:40
  all
• 4:40
  alone
• 4:40
  and
• 4:40
  cast
• 4:40
  off,
• 4:41
  but
• 4:41
  the
• 4:41
  Lord
• 4:41
  was
• 4:42
  there
• 4:42
  for
• 4:42
  her
• 4:42
  and
• 4:42
  provided,
• 4:43
  and
• 4:43
  he
• 4:43
  certainly
• 4:44
  did
• 4:44
  that
• 4:44
  for
• 4:44
  my
• 4:44
  family
• 4:45
  and
• 4:45
  I,
• 4:45
  he
• 4:46
  is
• 4:46
  the
• 4:46
  God
• 4:46
  who
• 4:46
  hears.
• 4:47
  In
• 4:47
  a
• 4:47
  podcast
• 4:48
  for
• 4:48
  moms,
• 4:49
  how
• 4:49
  could
• 4:49
  chapter
• 4:50
  22
• 4:50
  not
• 4:50
  be
• 4:50
  our
• 4:51
  focus
• 4:51
  today?
• 4:52
  It
• 4:52
  begins
• 4:53
  after
• 4:53
  these
• 4:53
  things.
• 4:54
  God
• 4:54
  tested
• 4:55
  Abraham
• 4:55
  and
• 4:55
  said
• 4:55
  to
• 4:55
  him,
• 4:56
  Abraham,
• 4:57
  and
• 4:57
  he
• 4:57
  said,
• 4:57
  here
• 4:58
  I
• 4:58
  am.
• 4:59
  He
• 4:59
  said,
• 4:59
  take
• 5:00
  your
• 5:00
  son,
• 5:00
  your
• 5:01
  only
• 5:01
  son,
• 5:02
  Isaac,
• 5:02
  whom
• 5:02
  you
• 5:02
  love,
• 5:03
  and
• 5:03
  go
• 5:03
  to
• 5:04
  the
• 5:04
  land
• 5:04
  of
• 5:04
  Mariah
• 5:05
  and
• 5:05
  offer
• 5:05
  him
• 5:05
  there
• 5:06
  as
• 5:06
  a
• 5:06
  burnt
• 5:06
  offering
• 5:07
  on
• 5:07
  one
• 5:07
  of
• 5:07
  the
• 5:07
  mountains
• 5:08
  of
• 5:08
  which
• 5:08
  I
• 5:08
  shall
• 5:08
  tell
• 5:09
  you.
• 5:09
  So
• 5:09
  Abraham
• 5:10
  Rose
• 5:10
  early
• 5:11
  in
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  morning,
• 5:12
  saddled
• 5:12
  his
• 5:12
  donkey
• 5:13
  and
• 5:13
  took
• 5:13
  two
• 5:14
  of
• 5:14
  his
• 5:14
  young
• 5:14
  men
• 5:15
  with
• 5:15
  him
• 5:15
  and
• 5:15
  his
• 5:15
  son
• 5:16
  Isaac,
• 5:16
  and
• 5:17
  he
• 5:17
  cut
• 5:17
  the
• 5:17
  wood
• 5:17
  for
• 5:17
  the
• 5:18
  burnt
• 5:18
  offering
• 5:19
  and
• 5:19
  arose
• 5:19
  and
• 5:19
  went
• 5:20
  to
• 5:20
  the
• 5:20
  place
• 5:20
  of
• 5:20
  which
• 5:21
  God
• 5:21
  had
• 5:21
  told
• 5:21
  him.
• 5:22
  On
• 5:22
  the
• 5:22
  third
• 5:22
  day,
• 5:23
  Abraham
• 5:23
  lifted
• 5:24
  up
• 5:24
  his
• 5:24
  eyes
• 5:25
  and
• 5:25
  saw
• 5:25
  the
• 5:25
  place
• 5:25
  from
• 5:26
  afar.
• 5:26
  Then
• 5:27
  Abraham
• 5:27
  said
• 5:27
  to
• 5:27
  his
• 5:27
  young
• 5:28
  men,
• 5:28
  stay
• 5:29
  here
• 5:29
  with
• 5:29
  the
• 5:29
  donkey.
• 5:30
  I
• 5:30
  and
• 5:30
  the
• 5:30
  boy
• 5:30
  will
• 5:31
  go
• 5:31
  over
• 5:31
  there
• 5:31
  and
• 5:32
  worship
• 5:32
  and
• 5:32
  come
• 5:33
  again
• 5:33
  to
• 5:33
  you.
• 5:33
  And
• 5:34
  Abraham
• 5:34
  took
• 5:34
  the
• 5:34
  wood
• 5:35
  of
• 5:35
  the
• 5:35
  burnt
• 5:35
  offering
• 5:36
  and
• 5:36
  laid
• 5:36
  it
• 5:36
  on
• 5:36
  Isaac,
• 5:37
  his
• 5:37
  son,
• 5:37
  and
• 5:37
  he
• 5:38
  took
• 5:38
  in
• 5:38
  his
• 5:38
  hand
• 5:39
  the
• 5:39
  fire
• 5:39
  and
• 5:39
  the
• 5:39
  knife.
• 5:40
  So
• 5:40
  they
• 5:40
  went
• 5:41
  both
• 5:41
  of
• 5:41
  them
• 5:41
  together,
• 5:42
  and
• 5:42
  Isaac
• 5:42
  said
• 5:43
  to
• 5:43
  his
• 5:43
  father,
• 5:43
  Abraham,
• 5:44
  my
• 5:44
  father.
• 5:45
  And
• 5:45
  he
• 5:45
  said,
• 5:46
  here
• 5:46
  I
• 5:46
  am,
• 5:46
  my
• 5:46
  son.
• 5:47
  He
• 5:47
  said,
• 5:48
  behold
• 5:48
  the
• 5:48
  fire
• 5:49
  and
• 5:49
  the
• 5:49
  wood.
• 5:49
  But
• 5:50
  where
• 5:50
  is
• 5:50
  the
• 5:50
  lamb
• 5:51
  for
• 5:51
  a
• 5:51
  burnt
• 5:51
  offering?
• 5:52
  Abraham
• 5:52
  said
• 5:53
  God
• 5:53
  will
• 5:53
  provide
• 5:54
  for
• 5:54
  himself
• 5:54
  the
• 5:54
  lamb
• 5:55
  for
• 5:55
  a
• 5:55
  burnt
• 5:55
  offering,
• 5:56
  my
• 5:56
  son.
• 5:56
  So
• 5:57
  they
• 5:57
  went
• 5:57
  both
• 5:57
  of
• 5:57
  them
• 5:57
  together.
• 5:58
  When
• 5:58
  they
• 5:59
  came
• 5:59
  to
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  place
• 5:59
  of
• 5:59
  which
• 6:00
  God
• 6:00
  had
• 6:00
  told
• 6:00
  him,
• 6:01
  Abraham
• 6:01
  built
• 6:01
  the
• 6:02
  altar
• 6:02
  there
• 6:02
  and
• 6:02
  laid
• 6:03
  the
• 6:03
  wood
• 6:03
  in
• 6:03
  order
• 6:04
  and
• 6:04
  bound
• 6:04
  Isaac
• 6:05
  his
• 6:05
  son,
• 6:05
  and
• 6:06
  laid
• 6:06
  him
• 6:06
  on
• 6:06
  the
• 6:06
  altar
• 6:07
  on
• 6:07
  top
• 6:07
  of
• 6:07
  the
• 6:08
  wood.
• 6:08
  Then
• 6:08
  Abraham
• 6:09
  reached
• 6:09
  out
• 6:09
  his
• 6:10
  hand
• 6:10
  and
• 6:10
  took
• 6:11
  the
• 6:11
  knife
• 6:11
  to
• 6:11
  slaughter
• 6:11
  his
• 6:12
  son,
• 6:12
  but
• 6:12
  the
• 6:12
  angel
• 6:13
  of
• 6:13
  the
• 6:13
  Lord
• 6:13
  called
• 6:14
  him
• 6:14
  from
• 6:14
  heaven
• 6:14
  and
• 6:15
  said.
• 6:15
  Abraham
• 6:16
  and
• 6:16
  he
• 6:16
  said,
• 6:17
  here
• 6:17
  I
• 6:17
  am.
• 6:18
  He
• 6:18
  said,
• 6:19
  do
• 6:19
  not
• 6:19
  lay
• 6:20
  your
• 6:20
  hand
• 6:20
  on
• 6:20
  the
• 6:20
  boy
• 6:21
  or
• 6:21
  do
• 6:21
  anything
• 6:21
  to
• 6:22
  him.
• 6:22
  For
• 6:22
  now
• 6:23
  I
• 6:23
  know
• 6:23
  that
• 6:23
  you
• 6:24
  fear
• 6:24
  God,
• 6:25
  seeing
• 6:25
  you
• 6:25
  have
• 6:25
  not
• 6:26
  withheld
• 6:26
  your
• 6:26
  son,
• 6:27
  your
• 6:27
  only
• 6:28
  son
• 6:28
  from
• 6:28
  me.
• 6:29
  And
• 6:29
  Abraham
• 6:30
  lifted
• 6:30
  up
• 6:30
  his
• 6:30
  eyes
• 6:31
  and
• 6:31
  looked
• 6:31
  and
• 6:32
  behold
• 6:32
  behind
• 6:33
  him
• 6:33
  was
• 6:33
  a
• 6:33
  ram
• 6:34
  caught
• 6:34
  in
• 6:34
  a
• 6:34
  thicket
• 6:35
  by
• 6:35
  his
• 6:35
  horns
• 6:36
  and
• 6:36
  Abraham
• 6:36
  went
• 6:37
  and
• 6:37
  took
• 6:37
  the
• 6:37
  ram
• 6:38
  and
• 6:38
  offered
• 6:39
  it
• 6:39
  as
• 6:39
  a
• 6:39
  burnt
• 6:39
  offering
• 6:40
  instead
• 6:41
  of
• 6:41
  his
• 6:41
  son.
• 6:42
  So
• 6:42
  Abraham
• 6:42
  called
• 6:43
  the
• 6:43
  name
• 6:43
  of
• 6:43
  that
• 6:43
  place
• 6:44
  The
• 6:44
  Lord
• 6:45
  will
• 6:45
  provide.
• 6:46
  As
• 6:46
  it
• 6:46
  is
• 6:46
  said
• 6:46
  to
• 6:47
  this
• 6:47
  day,
• 6:47
  on
• 6:47
  the
• 6:47
  mount
• 6:48
  of
• 6:48
  the
• 6:48
  Lord,
• 6:48
  it
• 6:48
  shall
• 6:49
  be
• 6:49
  provided.
• 6:50
  And
• 6:50
  the
• 6:50
  angel
• 6:50
  of
• 6:50
  the
• 6:51
  Lord
• 6:51
  called
• 6:51
  to
• 6:51
  Abraham
• 6:52
  a
• 6:52
  second
• 6:52
  time
• 6:52
  from
• 6:52
  heaven
• 6:53
  and
• 6:53
  said
• 6:53
  by
• 6:54
  myself,
• 6:54
  I
• 6:55
  have
• 6:55
  sworn,
• 6:55
  declares
• 6:56
  the
• 6:56
  Lord.
• 6:57
  Because
• 6:57
  you
• 6:57
  have
• 6:57
  done
• 6:58
  this
• 6:58
  and
• 6:58
  have
• 6:58
  not
• 6:59
  withheld
• 6:59
  your
• 6:59
  son,
• 7:00
  your
• 7:00
  only
• 7:01
  son,
• 7:01
  I
• 7:02
  will
• 7:02
  surely
• 7:02
  bless
• 7:02
  you
• 7:03
  and
• 7:03
  I
• 7:03
  will
• 7:03
  surely
• 7:04
  multiply
• 7:04
  your
• 7:05
  offspring
• 7:06
  as
• 7:06
  the
• 7:06
  stars
• 7:06
  of
• 7:07
  heaven
• 7:07
  and
• 7:07
  as
• 7:08
  the
• 7:08
  sand
• 7:08
  that
• 7:08
  is
• 7:08
  on
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  seashore.
• 7:10
  And
• 7:10
  your
• 7:10
  offspring
• 7:10
  shall
• 7:11
  possess
• 7:11
  the
• 7:11
  gate
• 7:12
  of
• 7:12
  his
• 7:12
  enemies
• 7:13
  and
• 7:13
  in
• 7:13
  your
• 7:13
  offspring
• 7:14
  shall
• 7:14
  all
• 7:15
  the
• 7:15
  nations
• 7:15
  of
• 7:15
  the
• 7:15
  earth
• 7:16
  be
• 7:16
  blessed
• 7:17
  Because
• 7:17
  you
• 7:18
  have
• 7:18
  obeyed
• 7:18
  my
• 7:18
  voice
• 7:19
  The
• 7:19
  ram
• 7:20
  caught
• 7:20
  in
• 7:20
  the
• 7:20
  thicket
• 7:21
  points
• 7:21
  to
• 7:22
  the
• 7:22
  coming
• 7:22
  sacrifice
• 7:23
  of
• 7:23
  Jesus
• 7:23
  on
• 7:24
  our
• 7:24
  behalf.
• 7:24
  This
• 7:25
  location,
• 7:25
  Mount
• 7:25
  Mariah
• 7:26
  is
• 7:26
  where
• 7:27
  Solomon's
• 7:27
  temple
• 7:28
  would
• 7:28
  be
• 7:28
  built,
• 7:29
  and
• 7:29
  it
• 7:29
  was
• 7:29
  also
• 7:30
  in
• 7:30
  this
• 7:30
  small
• 7:30
  mountain
• 7:31
  range
• 7:31
  that
• 7:32
  Jesus
• 7:32
  would
• 7:32
  be
• 7:32
  crucified
• 7:33
  for
• 7:33
  our
• 7:34
  sins.
• 7:34
  My
• 7:34
  research
• 7:35
  says
• 7:35
  that
• 7:35
  Isaac
• 7:36
  would've
• 7:36
  been
• 7:36
  about
• 7:36
  20
• 7:37
  years
• 7:37
  old
• 7:37
  at
• 7:37
  this
• 7:37
  time,
• 7:38
  and
• 7:38
  it
• 7:38
  seems
• 7:39
  he
• 7:39
  was
• 7:39
  also
• 7:40
  surrendering
• 7:40
  to
• 7:40
  the
• 7:40
  Lord's
• 7:41
  will.
• 7:41
  God
• 7:41
  hates
• 7:42
  child
• 7:42
  sacrifice,
• 7:43
  and
• 7:43
  even
• 7:44
  though
• 7:44
  this
• 7:44
  practice
• 7:45
  would've
• 7:45
  been
• 7:45
  rampant
• 7:46
  in
• 7:46
  many
• 7:46
  cultures
• 7:46
  at
• 7:47
  the
• 7:47
  time,
• 7:47
  we're
• 7:47
  told
• 7:48
  in
• 7:48
  Hebrews
• 7:48
  11
• 7:49
  that
• 7:49
  Abraham
• 7:49
  obeyed
• 7:50
  because
• 7:50
  he
• 7:51
  believed
• 7:51
  God
• 7:52
  could
• 7:52
  raise
• 7:52
  Isaac
• 7:53
  from
• 7:53
  the
• 7:53
  dead.
• 7:53
  We
• 7:54
  don't
• 7:54
  know
• 7:54
  how.
• 7:54
  He
• 7:54
  already
• 7:55
  believed
• 7:55
  in
• 7:55
  a
• 7:55
  resurrection,
• 7:56
  but
• 7:56
  he
• 7:56
  knew
• 7:57
  God
• 7:57
  would
• 7:57
  be
• 7:57
  faithful
• 7:58
  and
• 7:58
  God
• 7:59
  wants
• 7:59
  to
• 7:59
  know,
• 7:59
  is
• 8:00
  this
• 8:00
  child
• 8:00
  that
• 8:00
  you
• 8:00
  waited
• 8:01
  so
• 8:01
  long
• 8:01
  for?
• 8:02
  Is
• 8:02
  he
• 8:02
  everything
• 8:03
  to
• 8:03
  you
• 8:03
  or
• 8:03
  am
• 8:03
  I?
• 8:04
  And
• 8:04
  Abraham
• 8:05
  clearly
• 8:05
  passes
• 8:06
  the
• 8:06
  test.
• 8:07
  Three
• 8:07
  times.
• 8:08
  God
• 8:08
  says,
• 8:09
  your
• 8:09
  only
• 8:09
  son,
• 8:10
  and
• 8:10
  how
• 8:10
  can
• 8:11
  we
• 8:11
  not
• 8:11
  think
• 8:11
  of
• 8:11
  Jesus
• 8:12
  Christ?
• 8:13
  And
• 8:13
  the
• 8:13
  most
• 8:13
  well-known
• 8:14
  verse
• 8:14
  in
• 8:14
  all
• 8:14
  of
• 8:14
  scripture,
• 8:15
  John
• 8:16
  three
• 8:16
  16.
• 8:16
  For
• 8:17
  God
• 8:17
  so
• 8:17
  loved
• 8:17
  the
• 8:17
  world
• 8:18
  that
• 8:18
  he
• 8:18
  gave
• 8:18
  his
• 8:19
  only
• 8:19
  son.
• 8:20
  That
• 8:20
  whosoever
• 8:21
  believeth
• 8:21
  in
• 8:22
  him
• 8:22
  shall
• 8:22
  not
• 8:23
  perish,
• 8:23
  but
• 8:23
  have
• 8:23
  everlasting
• 8:24
  life.
• 8:25
  I
• 8:25
  believe
• 8:25
  the
• 8:25
  theme
• 8:25
  of
• 8:26
  this
• 8:26
  story
• 8:26
  is
• 8:26
  God
• 8:27
  saying,
• 8:27
  I
• 8:27
  won't
• 8:27
  ask
• 8:28
  you
• 8:28
  to
• 8:28
  do
• 8:28
  this,
• 8:29
  but
• 8:29
  I
• 8:30
  will
• 8:30
  do
• 8:30
  this
• 8:31
  for
• 8:31
  you.
• 8:31
  The
• 8:32
  Lord
• 8:32
  wants
• 8:32
  us
• 8:32
  to
• 8:33
  love
• 8:33
  our
• 8:33
  children,
• 8:34
  but
• 8:34
  he
• 8:34
  wants
• 8:34
  our
• 8:34
  primary
• 8:35
  allegiance
• 8:36
  to
• 8:36
  be
• 8:36
  to
• 8:36
  him.
• 8:37
  Is
• 8:37
  the
• 8:37
  Lord
• 8:37
  my
• 8:37
  everything
• 8:38
  will
• 8:38
  I
• 8:39
  sacrifice
• 8:39
  everything
• 8:40
  for
• 8:40
  a
• 8:40
  God
• 8:41
  that
• 8:41
  has
• 8:41
  given
• 8:41
  everything
• 8:42
  for
• 8:42
  me.
• 8:43
  In
• 8:43
  the
• 8:43
  last
• 8:43
  episode
• 8:44
  I
• 8:44
  mentioned
• 8:44
  many
• 8:44
  believe
• 8:45
  that
• 8:45
  the
• 8:45
  angel
• 8:45
  of
• 8:46
  the
• 8:46
  Lord
• 8:46
  is
• 8:46
  Jesus
• 8:46
  himself.
• 8:47
  In
• 8:47
  verse
• 8:47
  16,
• 8:48
  the
• 8:48
  angel
• 8:49
  of
• 8:49
  the
• 8:49
  Lord
• 8:49
  says,
• 8:50
  by
• 8:50
  myself,
• 8:51
  I
• 8:51
  have
• 8:51
  sworn
• 8:52
  we're
• 8:52
  either
• 8:52
  hearing
• 8:52
  God
• 8:53
  the
• 8:53
  Father
• 8:53
  say,
• 8:54
  I'm
• 8:54
  going
• 8:54
  to
• 8:54
  give
• 8:55
  my
• 8:55
  only
• 8:55
  son
• 8:56
  for
• 8:56
  you,
• 8:56
  or
• 8:56
  it's
• 8:57
  Jesus
• 8:57
  saying
• 8:58
  by
• 8:58
  myself,
• 8:59
  I
• 9:00
  will
• 9:00
  be
• 9:00
  the
• 9:00
  sacrifice
• 9:01
  for
• 9:01
  you.
• 9:01
  Finally,
• 9:02
  in
• 9:02
  chapter
• 9:02
  23,
• 9:03
  we
• 9:04
  are
• 9:04
  told
• 9:04
  that
• 9:04
  Sarah
• 9:05
  lived
• 9:05
  127
• 9:06
  years.
• 9:07
  She's
• 9:07
  the
• 9:07
  only
• 9:08
  female
• 9:08
  in
• 9:08
  scripture
• 9:08
  that
• 9:09
  we
• 9:09
  are
• 9:09
  given
• 9:09
  a
• 9:09
  lifespan
• 9:10
  for
• 9:10
  and
• 9:10
  Abraham
• 9:11
  wants
• 9:11
  to
• 9:11
  have
• 9:11
  a
• 9:11
  place
• 9:12
  to
• 9:12
  bury
• 9:12
  his
• 9:12
  wife
• 9:13
  this
• 9:13
  is
• 9:13
  the
• 9:13
  first
• 9:14
  place
• 9:14
  of
• 9:14
  land
• 9:15
  that
• 9:15
  he
• 9:15
  owns
• 9:16
  in
• 9:16
  the
• 9:16
  promised
• 9:16
  Land.
• 9:17
  Let's
• 9:17
  pray.
• 9:18
  Lord
• 9:18
  we
• 9:18
  come
• 9:19
  before
• 9:19
  you
• 9:19
  in
• 9:19
  gratitude.
• 9:20
  That
• 9:20
  you
• 9:20
  laid
• 9:21
  down
• 9:21
  the
• 9:21
  life
• 9:22
  of
• 9:22
  your
• 9:22
  son
• 9:23
  to
• 9:23
  bring
• 9:23
  us
• 9:23
  back
• 9:24
  to
• 9:24
  Fellowship
• 9:24
  with
• 9:24
  you.
• 9:25
  May
• 9:25
  we
• 9:25
  repay
• 9:26
  this
• 9:26
  sacrifice
• 9:27
  with
• 9:27
  wholehearted
• 9:28
  investment
• 9:29
  and
• 9:29
  devotion.
• 9:29
  May
• 9:30
  we
• 9:30
  long
• 9:30
  to
• 9:30
  commune
• 9:31
  with
• 9:31
  you
• 9:31
  and
• 9:31
  put
• 9:32
  you
• 9:32
  above
• 9:32
  every
• 9:33
  other
• 9:33
  relationship.
• 9:34
  Guard
• 9:34
  our
• 9:34
  hearts
• 9:35
  and
• 9:35
  our
• 9:35
  minds
• 9:36
  from
• 9:36
  fear
• 9:36
  over
• 9:36
  our
• 9:37
  children.
• 9:37
  Help
• 9:37
  us
• 9:38
  to
• 9:38
  trust
• 9:38
  in
• 9:38
  your
• 9:39
  goodwill
• 9:39
  for
• 9:39
  their
• 9:40
  lives,
• 9:40
  even
• 9:41
  when
• 9:41
  we
• 9:41
  see
• 9:41
  them
• 9:41
  in
• 9:42
  circumstances
• 9:43
  that
• 9:43
  seem
• 9:43
  like
• 9:43
  they
• 9:44
  couldn't
• 9:44
  possibly
• 9:45
  be
• 9:45
  working
• 9:45
  for
• 9:45
  their
• 9:45
  good.
• 9:46
  I
• 9:46
  pray
• 9:46
  that
• 9:46
  you
• 9:47
  would
• 9:47
  make
• 9:47
  us
• 9:48
  and
• 9:48
  our
• 9:48
  children
• 9:48
  quick
• 9:49
  to
• 9:49
  obey.
• 9:50
  No
• 9:50
  matter
• 9:50
  how
• 9:50
  difficult
• 9:51
  the
• 9:51
  task
• 9:51
  or
• 9:51
  the
• 9:52
  test,
