The Greatest Test of Your Faith

Genesis 22:1-19; Hebrews 11:17-19
When Abraham was commanded to sacrifice Isaac, he faced his severest test.

1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5
In 1 Corinthians 1:18-2:5, Paul reminds the church at Corinth, which was living in a culture of hero-worship of the famous, influential, and powerful, that we are called to be people of the cross. The cross of Christ reveals God’s wisdom, which is salvation through Christ’s suffering and death, and releases the power of God to those who are called to follow in the way of the cross, which has the power to transform lives and enable us to live in the realm of God’s everlasting kingdom.

Philippians 3:12-14
As we enter 2014, we can do no better for our New Year’s resolutions than to follow the example of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 3:12-14, who resolved to leave the memories of failures and successes of the past; and to live in the present with a concentration on growth in godliness; and look to the future, with our eye on the prize of everlasting consequences and rewards, which will be given to all who persevere to the end.
