EPIC: Abraham & Isaac – Thursday
God’s test was meant to reveal if Abraham truly worshipped and loved God above everything else, or if he’d hold something back. Because fo the incredible gift God had given him, Abraham could lose sight of God, and God’s promise, by becoming overly focused on Isaac. He might forget Isaac was a miraculous gift from […]
EPIC: Abraham & Isaac – Wednesday
We’re studying a really challenging story from the Old Testament this week, where God asks Abraham to sacrifice his long-awaited son. Where we left off yesterday, he had the knife ready over Isaac, ready to follow through on this unbelievable and horrific command from God. But the angel of the LORD called to him from […]
EPIC: Abraham & Isaac – Tuesday
https://vimeo.com/119522847 We’re exploring a tough story today. The Bible even warns us: After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” The story helps us prepare for what’s ahead. This is a test, and it comes from God. He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, […]

EPIC: Abraham & Sarah – Thursday
We can be tempted to laugh at God’s plans in our lives. The human race has a bad track record on this. Adam got the gift of life, with a simple command to never try to be God. That’s exactly what he does. Noah got a fresh start, to help the world get off on […]
EPIC: Abraham & Sarah – Wednesday
Yesterday we introduced the story of Abraham and Sarah, whom God promised would be parents of a great and huge nation, numbering like the stars of the sky. But Abraham keeled over laughing, since he knew having babies at his wife and his advanced age was impossible. Today, we’ll see he wasn’t the only one […]
EPIC: Abraham & Sarah – Tuesday
This week we’ll study the story of a man named Abram, whom God renamed Abraham. This was a sign he had big plans for Abraham’s life. God made a covenant promise, and created circumcision as a sign for Abraham and his descendents and their membership in God’s covenant people. But over the years, as he […]

Search Youtube and you will find over 100,000 videos of people surprising their kids with trips to Disney. The kids are astounded at the news. They’re going to […]
Group Study Guide: EPIC: Abraham & Sarah
Question: Who has ever told you a plan for your life that seemed impossible? Did it happen? Reading: And God brought Abraham outside and said, “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” And he believed the LORD, and […]
