A Test of Faith: What happens when God asks you to surrender the very thing He gave you? In this message from Hebrews 11:17-19, Pastor Ryan Skolrud examines Abraham's offering of Isaac as a living parable pointing to Christ. Discover how God's promises don't depend on our ability to protect them — and how the same God who raised Isaac back "figuratively" raised Jesus bodily from the grave.
Big Idea: God gives us more than He asks from us.
NEXT STEPS
- Identify your "Isaac" — what are you holding so tightly that surrender feels impossible?
- Stop trying to protect God's promises by controlling outcomes; trust His faithfulness instead.
- Bring your dead relationships, dead dreams, and dead hopes to the God who raises the dead.
- If you've never surrendered to Christ, recognize that Jesus is the substitute God provided for you — receive Him today.
