YHWH Yireh - Provider
Religious systems can often become ways for us to try to earn God's favor. Abraham's encounter with Yahweh, when he is asked to sacrifice Isaac. In this encounter, Abraham learns that Yahweh is fundamentally different from other gods, that Yahweh doesn't need us. When we understand that Yahweh is Yireh - the Provider, then we are free to serve God to know him better, to find the joy of obedience that leads to a deeper knowledge of and love for God.

Why do we feel awkward? And when we feel awkward, what, exactly, are we feeling? In this series, we’re going to explore some of the most awkward stories in the Bible. Because awkwardness has a surprising spiritual promise – we can discover sins that were hidden to us, but known to God. If we’re willing to let God make it awkward, we can find hope and healing!
