Oct 14, 2025    Michael Ryan Stotler

In this lesson, we look at Genesis 26:1–14, where Isaac repeats the mistakes of his father Abraham by deceiving Abimelech about his wife Rebekah. Yet even in Isaac’s failure, we see God’s faithfulness and blessing remain.

We’ll explore how this passage reveals the tension between fear and faith, and how God’s promises endure despite human weakness.

Key Themes:

God’s covenant faithfulness through generations

The danger of repeating the sins of the past

How God blesses us not because of our perfection, but because of His grace

📖 Scripture: Genesis 26:1–14

🙏 Reflection Question: What fears tempt you to act outside of faith, and how can you trust God’s promises instead?
