Rooted Abraham

In this second sermon of our Rooted Series, where we are taking a look at the genealogy of Jesus that Matthew records for us in his gospel, we start with Abraham. Abraham was promised that his descendants would become as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore. After 25 years of waiting, the son God promised was finally born. Yet, when this son had grown, God put Abraham to the ultimate test of faith when He asked him to sacrifice his son. While this might not make sense to us, Abraham's faith soared.
