讀經：創世記第二十至第二十二章
1. 當亞伯拉罕寄居在基拉耳時，他又犯了從前在埃及時所犯的錯誤。亞伯拉罕為什麼要稱撒拉是他的妹子？他這樣做算不算說謊？在這亞伯拉罕犯的兩次錯誤中，神如何伸手搭救撒拉？從這個例子中，我們可以認識神的哪些屬性？
2. 以實瑪利和以撒兩個人中間，誰能夠繼承亞伯拉罕的產業？誰的後代才能稱為亞伯拉罕的後裔？為什麼使女的兒子不能和以撒一同承受產業？
3. 神為什麼要亞伯拉罕將以撒獻上做燔祭？最後被獻在祭壇上的是誰？亞伯拉罕稱他獻以撒的地方為甚麼？它的意義為何？
4. 從亞伯拉罕獻以撒的故事中，我們可以學到甚麼？想一想，我們自己的以撒是甚麼？
5. 亞伯拉罕順服神，願意將以撒獻上之後，神就指著祂自己起誓，對亞伯拉罕說了哪些應許？跟以前神對亞伯拉罕說過的應許比起來，創世記22章的應許有沒有不一樣的地方？
Bible Reading: Genesis Chapters 20 to 22
1. When Abraham was living in Gerar, he committed the same sin he did in Egypt. Why did Abraham call Sarah his sister? Does this count as lying? In both instances, how did God rescue Sarah? What can we learn about the nature of God from this example?
2. Between Ishmael and Isaac, who could receive Abraham's inheritance? Whose descendants are considered “offspring of Abraham”? Why was it that the son of the slave woman could not receive the inheritance together with Isaac?
3. Why did God ask Abraham to offer up Isaac as a burnt offering? In the end, what/who was offered on the altar? What name did Abraham give the place where he went to offer up Isaac? What was its meaning?
4. What can we learn from the story of Abraham's offering of Isaac? Reflect on what is your own “Isaac.”
5. What promises did God give to Abraham, swearing by Himself, after Abraham obeyed God and was willing to offer up Isaac? Compared to the promises given earlier, are there differences in the promises given in chapter 22?
