    Isaac and Rebekah | Genesis 24:1-27, 50-67 | The Patriarchy

    How does God guide us when making difficult decisions? How can Christians know God's will, pray for guidance, and trust his plan for their lives? In this sermon on Genesis 24:1–27, 50–67, we explore the biblical story of Isaac and Rebekah and what it teaches about God's providence in everyday life. Discover three principles for Christian decision-making, how prayer and practical wisdom work together, why ordinary work is a way of serving God, and what the Bible teaches about marriage, love, and commitment. Through Abraham, his servant, Rebekah, and Isaac, we see how God works through ordinary people and circumstances to accomplish his promises. Ultimately, Genesis 24 points us to Jesus Christ, the promised Saviour through whom God brings forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life.

    Genesis 21:22-34; 23:1-20 || Midweek 4

    What does it mean to trust God's promises when you may never live long enough to see them fulfilled? How can Christians face grief and death with confidence in God's faithfulness? In this companion Bible study to our Sunday sermon series, The Patriarchy, we explore the passages of Genesis that fall between our Sunday readings. This week, we examine Abraham's treaty with Abimelech at Beersheba (Genesis 21:22–34) and the death and burial of Sarah (Genesis 23). Though God promised Abraham an entire land, Abraham's first footholds are remarkably modest: rights to a well and a burial place for his wife. Together, these stories teach us about patience, grief, and living by faith when God's promises seem far from fulfillment. We'll also explore how Abraham's hope points us toward Jesus Christ, the resurrection of the dead, and the eternal inheritance God has promised his people. Genesis 21:22–34; 23:1–20; Hebrews 11:13–16. Cross of Life is a Christian church in Mississauga, ON. For more information about Cross of Life, visit http://crossoflife.net. Got a question?

    Genesis 22:1-19 | Abraham and Isaac | The Patriarchy

    What happens when God asks us to surrender something we cannot imagine living without? In Genesis 22, Abraham faces an unimaginable test of faith when God commands him to sacrifice his beloved son, Isaac. Yet Abraham trusts that God will keep his promises, even when he cannot understand how. In this sermon from our *The Patriarchy* series, we explore what Abraham's faith teaches us about trusting God, surrendering control, and making sacrifices in obedience to him. Most importantly, we discover how God provides a substitute for Isaac, pointing us to Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who sacrificed himself for our sins. The LORD will provide. And in Jesus, he already has. For Sermon Notes, go to: https://tinyurl.com/CoLSermon2026 Cross of Life is a Christian church in Mississauga, ON.

    Genesis 13:1-18 | Abraham and Lot | The Patriarchy

    How much would it take for you to finally feel like you have enough? In Genesis 13, Abraham and Lot are both wealthy men, but they respond very differently to the opportunities in front of them. Abraham, having experienced God’s extraordinary grace and mercy, is freed to worship, trust God’s promises, and live generously. Lot looks for paradise on earth—and begins moving closer and closer to Sodom. In this sermon from our series **The Patriarchy**, we explore how God’s grace changes the way Christians think about money, possessions, generosity, worship, and the choices that shape our lives. What we choose to live near can eventually become what lives within us. But instead of grasping for the perfect life now, God calls us to trust his promise and remember that the true Paradise we are waiting for is something only he can give. **Topics:** Abraham and Lot, Genesis 13, generosity, grace and mercy, Christian stewardship, worship, Sodom, trusting God, contentment, faith, money and possessions For Sermon Notes, go to: https://tinyurl.com/CoLSermon2026 Cross of Life is a Christian church in Mississauga, ON.
