The makes it clear that God tests his people. This is seen throughout the life of Abraham and his family as they begin to grow. However, even in times of testing like the famine seen in Genesis 26, God is at work and is faithful. Therefore, we can trust in God’s word and not in our circumstantial vision.

The story of Esau selling his birthright to Jacob is easy to overlook. However, when we read our Bibles closely and carefully, we begin to see the pattern of sinful people giving up the blessings of God for temporary satisfaction.

There is nothing in this world can thwart the sovereign work of God. This means that in our accomplishments, failures, struggles, and success are all part of God’s plan. This is made clear throughout the entire Bible and is put on full display in the birth of Isaac. Our prayer should be to rest in God’s sovereign hand in our life rather than resist it when things get difficult.

Growing with Christ is an ongoing process and requires time, effort, and planning. With the start of the new year, we hope you and your family make it a priority to grow in your relationship with the Lord.

When the most difficult moments come do you hold on to God? As the story of Abraham comes to a close and his death draws near, we see a great example of faith that lasts. 

In this sermon, we explore the marriage between Isaac and Rebekah, and God’s enduring promise to make Abraham a great nation.
