What you sacrifice reveals what you truly believe. In this sermon on Genesis 22 (Abraham and Isaac), we see that faith is not abstract—it is shown in devotion and sacrifice. Every person gives their time, attention, money, and even their family to something. That reveals what they fear, love, and trust. False gods—success, comfort, reputation—accept sacrifice but destroy what is given. But the true God gives life. Abraham trusted God’s promise and received Isaac back. And ultimately, the Father gives His own Son so that we might live.
