Join us for a deep dive into Genesis 26, the final chapter focused on Isaac. Discover how his life mirrors his father Abraham's, from facing famine to dealing with a barren wife. While Isaac is often seen as the most faithful patriarch, this chapter reveals his human flaws and the necessity of God's mercy. We explore the repeated themes of God's unwavering promises and the tests of faith that define the patriarchal narratives.

From confronting a famine and being told not to go to Egypt, to passing off his wife as his sister, Isaac's story is filled with drama and divine intervention. Witness how God's blessing leads to incredible prosperity and the envy of others, resulting in conflict over wells. Ultimately, it's a story of God's persistent faithfulness to His covenant, even through generations of imperfect people.
