In The Sacrifice, Rev. Stephen Milton tackles one of the most troubling stories in the Bible: God’s command for Abraham to sacrifice his beloved son Isaac. How can such a horrifying test be part of a faith rooted in love? This sermon explores the difficult demands of discipleship, from Abraham’s silent obedience to the radical courage of Jesus and modern-day figures like Martin Luther King Jr. Far from a comfortable faith, we are invited into one that asks us to walk into fire—against injustice, racism, and complacency. Real faith, Rev. Milton reminds us, isn’t always easy—but it is transformative.
