The Ultimate Test

 “The Ultimate Test” - Genesis 22
       Dr. W. Jamie Kim

 I. Bumps on the Road Are Expected in Life
Ups and downs
Conflicts and reconciliations
Paradoxes in life

 II. Then Comes the Crucial Tests
Never-ending drama
Requires everything you’ve got

 III. Unreasonable Request and Even More Unreasonable Response
Human sacrifice
Blind Submission

 IV. Why Did God Test Abraham?
To see if he feared God
To activate God’s promise

 V. It Is All About Faith! (Heb. 11:8-19)
Faith to believe God to raise the dead
Faith to believe that God will provide

 VI. Application
How do you think you would respond if you were tested the way Abraham was tested?
What have you learned about God through this lesson?
When you experience speed bumps on the road as you travel through your life, what is your usual response? Do you respond by faith? How do you feel about God testing you?
