## Resource

September 14, Paul Doerksen spoke on the test of Abraham in Genesis 22. Earlier stories in Genesis showed that God could be trusted in the covenant he had made with Abraham, but Abraham often wavered. This time, even when faced with a deeply troubling command, Abraham trusts God completely. In response, God not only provides a resolution but also reaffirms his trustworthiness.
