What’s Summer without a road trip? We’re travelling back to the stories of the Patriarchs – Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph. They lived on the road, and in their travels, they encountered God in strange and unexpected ways. What do we learn about God on the road that we can’t learn when we stay in our comfort zones?
How might God be calling us to go somewhere new, following after our creator?

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.
