In Genesis 22, God told Abraham to sacrifice his son. Why?

For many, this event is one of the most confusing in all of Scripture - why would God tell Abraham to sacrifice Isaac? What was His purpose? And then, why would He tell Abraham to stay his knife? In today's study, we will study this difficult and heartrending event.

Questions That We'll Answer:

1) What was God's purpose here? Was He testing Abraham?

2) What did Abraham think would happen on Mt. Moriah?

3) How does this event foreshadow Christ's sacrifice on Calvary?

Genesis: A Father's Sacrifice Of A Son

In Genesis 40, Joseph was in prison.

Now, he did not deserve to be there. He'd done nothing wrong. And he must have wondered what part his shackles played in God's plans. Hadn't God given him a dream of a great and glorious future? Well, in today's text, two other men would have dreams - and their interpretation would play a huge role in Joseph's story.

Questions That We'll Answer:

A) What were the dreams of the Butler and Baker all about?

B) Did these men deserve to be in jail? What had they done?

C) What would the outcome of their dreams mean for them and Joseph?
