About this sermon
What if the most gut-wrenching moment in the Old Testament was never just about Abraham and Isaac — but about you, and about the cross? In this episode of Get into the Word, Pastor Robby walks through Genesis 22 and reveals how 2,000 years before Jesus died on Calvary, God laid out the entire plan of redemption on the same mountain. From the wood on Isaac's back to the ram caught in the thicket, every detail points forward to the Lamb of God. But this message isn't just about what God did on Mount Moriah — it's about what God is doing in your life right now when He asks you to let go of the one thing you're holding onto the tightest. If you're in a season that makes no sense, this message is for you. 📖 Scriptures Referenced: Genesis 22, Hebrews 11:17, 2 Chronicles 3:1, James 1, John 3:16 📚 Ministries: Church: Long Hollow Church – https://longhollow.com/ Ministry: Replicate — https://replicate.org/ Podcast: The Forgotten Jesus — www.youtube.com/@TheForgottenJesusPodcast 👉 Connect with Robby Instagram— https://www.instagram.com/rgallaty/ RESOURCES BY ROBBY TO HELP YOU GROW DEEPER: 🔥 Discover the Jewish Roots of Jesus: The Forgotten Jesus: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087PFKTMX 👥 Leadership: The Movement Ready Church: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F7F52V8Y 🌱 The Discipleship Trilogy: Growing Up (Revised & Updated): https://www.amazon.com/dp/1087768225 Firmly Planted: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1087768241 Bearing Fruit: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1087768268 🕊️ Robby’s Life Story: Recovered (A Story of Redemption): https://www.amazon.com/dp/1535909838 📖 Daily Bible Reading & Prayer: Foundations (260-Day Reading Plan): https://www.amazon.com/dp/1430045558 The Practice of Prayer (30-Day Guide): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F8P2M3FN 👋 Join the Community: If this video helped you see the Word of God in a new light, please Share it with a friend and Subscribe to the channel!
