What do you do when you don't know what to do? We've all been there, and the Israelites were definitely there when they were trapped between the Red Sea in front and the Egyptian army chasing them from behind. After fear overcame them, they finally did what was needful ... in desperation, they cried out to the Lord for help. Pastor Donnie Johnson delivered this message on Sunday, November 13, 2022, at Liferoads Church in Spokane, Washington.

The Bible is full of big, epic stories that give us a sense of how big our God is and remind us to trust Him. These stories point us toward Jesus and are a part of an even larger story – a story so big that it sweeps us into it as well. Here in part 3, Pastor Donnie takes a look at the account of Abraham and Isaac in Genesis 21 and 22, and God used them to to foreshadow God's sacrifice of His Son Jesus on that same mountain hundreds of years later.

The Bible is full of big, epic stories that feature prominently in our children's Bible lessons: Creation, Moses crossing the Red Sea, Joshua and the Battle of Jericho, Jonah and the whale, and David and Goliath. These stories are full of action! They give us a sense of how big our God is and remind us to trust Him, but they show us even more when we realize that all of them actually "whisper his name" (to borrow the line from one of Pastor Donnie's favorite children's Bible storybooks). These stories point us toward Jesus and are a part of an even larger story - a story so big that it sweeps us into it as well. In this first part of this new teaching series, Pastor Donnie Johnson takes a fresh look at the account of creation in Genesis and tells us how Jesus can be found there.
