The sermon traces Abraham’s conversation with God in Genesis 22, showing how God leads His people through four distinct phases: calling, obedience, questioning, and provision. First, Abraham responds to God’s voice with availability—“Here I am”—demonstrating that faith begins with surrender. Second, God asks for what Abraham treasures most, revealing that obedience often requires costly trust. Third, as doubt rises on the journey, Isaac’s question, “Where is the lamb?” captures the tension every believer faces when obedience meets uncertainty. Abraham’s prophetic reply—“God Himself will provide”—points to the final movement: God’s unshakeable provision. Ultimately, the story prepares us for the greater truth fulfilled in Romans 8:32 : what God didn’t allow Abraham to do, He did with His own Son.
