Sermons from Pastor Nathan Hedt
Religion & Spirituality
The account of God asking Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac is one of the most shocking, powerful, poignant stories in the entire Bible.
How could the God of life ask for such a sacrifice?
This sermon seeks to reframe the story of Abraham and Isaac, found in Genesis 22, in terms of the wider biblical narrative, discovering that God does not ask something of Abraham (or of us) that he is not willing to do himself, and that when God asks us to give something up, it is because he wants to give us something better in its place - more of himself.
This sermon is accompanied by a Prezi presentation which can be accessed at this link.
It was preached on Sunday 26th June at St John's Southgate Lutheran Church.
