Knowing the Heart of God

Pastor Jack draws from the story of Abraham's testing on Mount Moriah to explore what it means to move from knowing God's hand of provision to understanding His heart. Using Genesis 22, he teaches that God sometimes removes what He has given?not to destroy, but to draw us closer and reveal His unchanging nature. Pastor Jack explains that Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac foreshadowed God's own sacrifice of His Son, and that our trials are opportunities to discover God's deeper ways and character.
