Jesus is the true and better Isaac, who was not just offered up by his father on the mount but was truly sacrificed for us all. god said to Abraham "Now I know you love me, because you did not withhold your son, your only son whom you love, from me." Now we can say to God, "Now we know that you love us, because you did not withhold your son, your only son whom you love, from us."
The True and Better Isaac
July 14, 2024 • Pastor Jonathan Neufeld • Genesis 22:1–18
The story of Abraham and Isaac is often one of the most difficult stories for us to understand. Yet in this story we see God’s plan of salvation unfolding as it leads us to see the sacrifice of Jesus. We can trust the promises of God because of what Jesus has done.
The True and Better Isaac
July 14, 2024 • Ernie Charlton • Genesis 22:1–19
So many of the stories and the narrative of the Old Testament informed the people of the day but also foreshadowed the hope to come. This account of Abraham being called to sacrifice his son, Isaac, is disturbing but also speaks clearly of the hope for a Messiah. Jesus Christ accomplished what no other sacrifice ever could.

The promise God made to Abraham put into motion the events and generations that would change the universe forever. In which the faith of one man paved the way for the arrival Jesus: true and better Abraham.

The True And Better Abraham
July 7, 2024 • Matt Boettcher • Genesis 12:1–8
This morning we look at how Jesus is the true and better Abraham. Abraham's call to leave the comfort of his home and trust in God's promises points directly to Jesus' ultimate obedience and sacrifice. God's promise to bless all nations through Abraham is fulfilled in Jesus, the true seed of Abraham. Jesus provides the ultimate assurance that not only Abraham, but also we, will have an eternal home. As we follow Jesus, we live by faith, trusting in God's fulfilled promises and looking forward to our eternal inheritance.
The True And Better Abraham
July 7, 2024 • Pastor Jeremy Isaak • Genesis 12:1–8
God’s promise to Abram to bless all the peoples of the earth seems like a far fetched proclamation, yet Abram responds in (mostly) obedient faith. However, this classic Bible story is incomplete without Christ, through whom the fulfillment of this promise is realized.

The True and Better Adam
June 30, 2024 • Pastor Jeremy Isaak • Romans 5:12–21, 1 Corinthians 15:21–23
Adam’s original sin in the garden has graver, farther reaching consequences than we sometimes recognize. But Jesus’ obedience in the garden and on the cross has surpassingly wondrous benefits for those who repentantly receive God’s free gift of grace.

Jesus is the true and better Adam who passed the test in the garden and whose obedience is imputed to us.
The True and Better Adam
June 30, 2024 • Pastor Matt Shantz • Romans 5:12–21, 1 Corinthians 15:21–23
As we embark on our summer sermon series we see that the Bible isn’t really about the famous characters contained in it, and it’s not really about us; the Bible is about Jesus. In this first sermon we see how Jesus is the true and better Adam.
