Life is full of choices like a “choose your own adventure” story. The Bible begins with a fundamental question: Who or what is your most high?

In this sixth message, we turn to Genesis 22 and watch Abraham face the most agonizing test of his life: God asks him to surrender Isaac, the son of promise. This test reveals whether Abraham trusts the Giver more than the gift.

Abraham obeys because he trusts the everyday God who has never failed him. On the mountain, God provides the ram, showing that He sees every need before we do. The story reveals that God's tests expose where our allegiance lies and call us to surrender whatever we cling to more tightly than Him.

His story reminds us that everyday people must build altars too. We all have our own "Isaac" that competes for first place. But when we lay everything before the everyday God, He provides, He realigns our hearts, and He leads us into deeper trust and wholehearted devotion.
