Abraham was the model of the kind of father that reflected the heart of the Heavenly Father. He trusted and leaned on God fully even when it could have cost him the life of his beloved son. He got to experience God's heart first-hand unlike anyone else ever will in history. And he passed onto his son the only thing worth handing over. He demonstrated to Isaac the kind of faith that would make all the difference in eternity.

1. God puts us through trials in order to see us succeed and overcome them.
2. God's promises are worth trusting as they are written, not as we would like them to sound.
3. God has a purpose and a plan for our children.

Jesus' healing of the Ten Lepers gives us an object lesson about thankfulness. Regardless of the number of those who actually got it, the one who recognized the good thing they had gained more than their health as a result. 1. Thankfulness is recognizing the good things you have. 2. Signs follow those who believe, not the other way around. 3. Thankfulness is the perspective every Christian can have towards everything in life.

Paul continues his letter to Thessalonica reminding them of his example, his teachings, and his love for them as fellow believers. While he couldn't be with them in person, his hope was that they continue to grow in their relationship with God like He taught and showed them. 1. Deeds speak louder than words. 2. Love should be the priority of every believer. 3. Your respect for God will be reflected by your respect for His Word.
