Today we are going to see an expert in faith and disappointment: Joseph. When we think of Bible heroes, I don’t think he is on the short list for a lot of us; that’s David, Moses, Paul, Peter. In my opinion, Joseph’s faith in God is stunning and unparalleled; and that is why God shares his life with us.

My title today is It is More Wrestling than Math. Now not Christianity, but American Christians, Western Christians, we want a relationship with God that is more like a math formula. x + y = z. Always. I know where God is, I know what He is doing, and He can always be explained. And if not, He owes an explanation.

The Bible holds out to us some pretty special people, heroes even. But the Bible never holds out someone, something you can’t be. That is so important. We’re going to see a lot of great characters in the Bible that challenge us, inspire us, model for us what it looks like to live greatly for God; but a lot of people make the mistake of identifying a Moses, a David, a Paul as a G.O.A.T., something they can never be. And that is not the truth. We can.

We are continuing our year through the Bible. We are all together going after God’s promise to bless when we read, hear, and keep His word. And today that brings us to Genesis 22. We are going to see God test faith. As a matter of fact, it might be better called a pop test because you don’t actually know it is coming.

This is our third week in Genesis and we have seen that God creates, learned that man sins; and today, God makes a covenant. To understand Genesis, to understand the Bible; we’ll want to understand covenant.

It can be said that Genesis is the most important book of the Bible because it lays the foundation for the Bible. Every major doctrine developed in the Bible is in Genesis. Perhaps the most important verse of the Bible is Genesis 1:1.
