We walk through Genesis 22 with Abraham and Isaac and slow down to see what the text actually says about love, worship, obedience, and God’s provision. We also challenge a work-based mindset by anchoring our confidence in freedom in Christ and the God who provides the sacrifice. 
• work-based guilt and spiritual pressure contrasted with freedom in Christ from Galatians 5 
• Genesis 22 set-up and why God calls this a test 
• the first biblical use of love as costly father-son sacrifice 
• the first biblical use of worship as bowing down and yielding our will 
• why Isaac is likely a young man and what that implies about willing obedience 
• “God will provide” as the core thread of sacrifice and surrender 
• the angel of the LORD and the case for a Christ-centered reading 
• substitutionary sacrifice shown through the ram in the thicket 
• why a ram matters and how it can point to power, authority, and unknown sins 
• Mount Moriah, the future temple site, and the larger redemption storyline 
• John 10 and Jesus laying down His life by authority 
• preview of Joseph and how typology helps us read Genesis
