Clarity Week 12

                              Genesis 22:1-19

Clarity

CGL Notes: We live in a world where everyone has an opinion about life and how it should work. Many opinions about what’s right and what’s wrong. We also live in a world where everyone seems to have a platform to voice their opinions. This brings confusion in our world but in the midst of confusion, God’s Word brings clarity! In a world with many voices, we are letting God’s voice speak the loudest!

Throughout April, we want to intentionally focus our prayers to the Bengkulu people on Sundays and in our small groups. This is 1 of 10 potential unreached people groups that our missionaries could eventually engage in Indonesia! Start your group off by praying together for this people group!

Prayer for the Unreached People Group

You are the Lord, and that is your name! I pray your glory not be given to another. I pray that the Bengkulu people will not give your praise to idols. Isaiah 42:8

Lord, send missionaries to declare your glory among the Bengkulu people, Your marvelous deeds among the Bengkulu people. Psalm 96:3

Lord, I pray that “all the Bengkulu people you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord; I pray the Bengkulu people will bring glory to Your name.” Psalm 86:9

Lord, may You be exalted over all the Bengkulu people, Your glory above the heavens. Psalm 113:4

Read Genesis 22:1-19

How does this passage demonstrate God’s faithfulness, provision, and other aspects of His character?

Why do you think God often calls us to steps of faith that don’t seem logical? Is there a next step of faith God has placed in your heart to take?

Read James 1:2-17. In what ways does God purpose trials and testing in our lives? How do you think Abraham’s view of God was different when he went up the mountain vs. when he came down?

What are some things God may call us to lay down in our own lives to follow Him fully? What is one area of your life right now where obedience requires sacrifice?

How does remembering Christ as the ultimate sacrificial Lamb change the way we live and trust God?
