CMC Life Group: Yahweh Yireh, the LORD will provide!

Read Genesis 22:1-19


Genesis 22

Read the verses below and write down your own observation on how they relate to the Genesis account.

Genesis 22:6… the wood… placed… on his son Isaac…

John 19:17

Genesis 22:9…Isaac’s silent trust in Abraham and ultimately in Yahweh

Isaiah 53:7

Isaiah 53:10

1 Peter 1:19-20

Genesis 22:10… Abraham didn’t hold back his son Isaac from God.

Hebrews 11:17-19

Romans 8:31-32

  • Yahweh Yireh tests you… Why did God test Abraham?
  • Worship your Provider, Yahweh Yireh… Abraham to his servants in Genesis 22:5, “We will worship and then we will come back to you.” In Genesis 22:10, you see Abraham drawing the knife to slay his son, not withholding Isaac from God. How does Abraham’s response to God’s command reflect the heart of worship?
  • Trust your Provider, Yahweh Yireh… How did Abraham trust Yahweh Yireh? How did Isaac trust Yahweh?

Share & Apply…

  • Share how Yahweh Yireh has tested you or is testing you to reveal your heart and what you are made of?
  • Worship is matter of priority. How are you worshiping Yahweh Yireh, your Provider?
  • Reflecting Hebrews 11:1, “faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see,” what does it mean for you to trust Yahweh Yireh, your Provider?
  • Pray for each other that worship and faith in Yahweh Yireh is restored and revived.
