On Sunday, August 31, 2025 at Wildwood Community Church, I preached a sermon based on Genesis 22:1-14.  This message was part 4 in the “Scarlet Thread” sermon series, focusing on the account of Abraham.  Below you will find questions related to this message for personal reflection or group discussion.  You will also find audio and video from this message to listen to/watch, download, or share.

Sermon Questions:

1. Pray


2. Read Genesis 22:1-14


3. What are some times in your life where you imagined something that was BETTER than what actually materialized? In what way is it important that Jesus not just PROMISE good things, but actually deliver them?
   
   Abraham’s faith was revealed as it was tested on Mount Moriah. Though that experience was unique, God still tests our faith in Him today in the midst of difficulties. What are some areas of life where your faith is currently being tested?


4. Are you walking with God in the midst of the current “flame”? How about in the trials of your past?


5. What ultimately did NOT require of Abraham, He did require of Himself when Jesus went to the cross. What parallels do you see between Genesis 22 and the accounts in the New Testament of Jesus’ death on the cross? What differences do you see?


6. Have you trusted in Christ for the forgiveness of your sins? Is Jesus’ your Savior and Lord? If so, how is your trust in Him revealed in your life today? If not, what is keeping you from trusting Him?


7. What stands out to you most from this message? Any particular takeaway?
