Finally, as God had promised, Sarah bore Abraham a son, “in his old age” (Gen. 21:2), and he named the baby Isaac (see Gen. 21:1–5).

Sun, May 15 / Mount Moriah

The biblical notion of “test” (in Hebrew, nissah) refers to the idea of a judgment done to know what is in the heart of one being tested (Deut. 8:2; Gen. 22:12). At the same time, it shows the assurance of God’s grace on their behalf (Exod. 20:18–20).
Mon, May 16 / God Will Provide

There, at Mount Moriah, long before the Cross, the sacrificial ram “caught in a thicket by his horns” (Gen. 22:13) pointed to Jesus. He is the One that is “seen” here, as Abraham explains later, “in the mount where the Lord is seen” (Gen 22:14).
Tues, May 17 / The Death of Sarah

The mention of the death of Sarah after the story of the sacrifice of Isaac suggests that she might have been affected by this incident, which almost cost her son’s life. In some way, Sarah also was involved in the “test” with her husband.
Wed, May 18 / A Wife for Isaac

Just as Abraham wanted to acquire the land in order to bury his wife, because of God’s promise to his descendants that they would have this land, he now insists that Isaac not settle outside of the Promised Land either (Gen. 24:7).
Thurs, May 19 / A Wife for Abraham

The purpose of the genealogy after Abraham’s marriage with Keturah, who gave him six sons, versus his two other sons (Isaac and Ishmael), is perhaps to provide immediate evidence of God’s promise that Abraham would father many nations.
Fri, May 20 / Key Questions

In class, talk about Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Isaac. Try to imagine the kind of faith that this account reveals. What is so astonishing, and yet at the same time troubling, about this story?

Here are 5 ways to help kids memorize scripture
- Use music
- The whiteboard is your friend
- Record it
- The trusty flash card
- Play a game
1/ Use music
Take a scripture and either apply its words to an existing and familiar tune or create something original and start singing it.
2/ The whiteboard is your friend
Begin by writing a verse on the whiteboard and read it out loud with the child several times. Then erase one word at a time, read the verse and include the erased word by memory.

It can be easy to let the anxieties of today steal our #Sabbath peace. When this darkness threatens your Sabbath, take refuge in scripture. Below are some of our favorite scriptures for Sabbath prayers on darker days. Add your favorites to this thread. #prayer #pray #Bible Image
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 ESV #pray
"So also you have sorrow now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. In that day you will ask nothing of me. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you." John 16:22-23 ESV
