Welcome to the web archive for "The Testing: Developing Abraham’s Righteousness," an expositional sermon series through the life of Abraham in Genesis presented by Pastor Jim Harmeling from February to April 2022.

Tracing the patriarch’s journey from his initial call to leave behind all natural security to the climactic test of faith on Mount Moriah, this series explores how God uses trials to refine, mature, and establish steadfast faith in His people.  Across these messages, listeners are challenged to examine where they place their trust while confronting temptations to take matters into their own hands, learning to wait patiently for God to do the impossible, and witnessing His sovereign grace even in human failure and weakness.  Ultimately, Abraham’s story points beyond himself to a sovereign, covenant-keeping God who rescues, provides, and calls us to surrender what is most precious to follow Him with unwavering faith.
