Some time later, God tested Abraham. He said, “Abraham!” “Yes, I’m here,” Abraham answered.

Offer him up to me as a burnt offering on one of the mountains which I will show you.” Early the next morning, Abraham cut the wood for the burnt offering, loaded it on his donkey, and set out for the distant place God had shown him.

Abraham carried the knife and the fire, and the two of them walked up the mountain together. “Father?” Isaac broke the silence. “Yes, my son,” Abraham replied. “We have the wood and the fire,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?” Abraham answered, “My son, God himself will provide the lamb for an offering.” So they went on together.

The God Provides series offers a rich, dramatic journey through theater-quality, short films which show us wisdom, truth, encouragement and practical steps to deepen a relationship of trust with God. This session highlights the true story of Abraham and Isaac, his son. God used this test of obedience to see whether or not Abraham trusted Him fully and would, in faith, obediently make everything he had available for God’s use.
Are you willing to fully trust God, even if it meant giving up your most prized possessions? Through the story of Abraham, we’ll explore the blessings that come with surrendering everything to God and trusting in His provision – and how the results of our obedience are far greater than anything we could hold onto.

The names of God are one of the most beautiful, yet often overlooked, part of scripture. When we call upon the names of God as generations have before us, we address Him in such a way that reveals what we need in that particular moment. Join us on a 3-day journey of studying the names of God, specifically mentioned in the song "Names" from Ben Laine.
The vision of our lives gets blurry when we are not walking in obedience to what God desires. In fact, the action we take each day has the ability to pull us closer or push us farther from Him. We are going to explore how vital it is to couple vision with experiences that ultimately lead to the decisions we make each day. Let’s dig in.
