In this message, Pastor Cam encourages us to delve into the story of Genesis 26. The story talks about how Isaac, following Abraham's footsteps, decides to deceive others. Despite receiving a divine assurance from God, Isaac allows his fear to take over and fails to have faith in God. However, it's not Isaac's misleading posture that defines this story, but God's steadfast mercy and faithfulness.
