Rev. Kevin Parviz, pastor of Congregation Chai V’ Shalom in St. Louis, MO joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Genesis 26.

Isaac received the promise that his offspring would be as many as the stars of heaven. After receiving this promise, it is clear that Isaac was indeed still sinful. As Isaac was blessed, we are reminded that the LORD blesses us. Isaac’s road was not smooth or sinless and neither is ours. We cling to His promise of a Messiah and move forward knowing that bitterness and brokenness will not have the victory. “Lord God, fill us with Your promise. As You blessed Isaac, bless us with what we need for this body and life. When bitterness arrives, grant us strength to persevere and repentance when we need Your forgiveness. In Christ, Amen.”
