Presentation transcript:

When your faith is tested What then?

Isn’t God good!

Is God good?

Give up and walk away?

But if I do, am I Allowing my faith to die? Breaking my promises to God? Becoming stunted in my spiritual growth? Declaring war upon God? Telling God that He doesn’t know what he is doing?

17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice 17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, even though God had said to him, “It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned (Hebrews 11:17ff)

Or do I… Look up and wait?

GOD

‘19 Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.’

So what do you do when your faith is tested?

Bare and share- with God and with fellow Christians 2. Learn and turn – about God’s character, about yourself and about Biblical testing. Come back to God 3. Wait and wonder – for God’s mind and time and God’s way. 4. Trust and triumph – God at work in all things for our good and for his glory (Romans 8:28)
