Sermon Discussion questions
Isaac Son Of Abe: Greatest Hits (Genesis 26)

Ice Breaker: What is a default or normal in your family that’s a little weird?

This Week Specific

Spiritual Privilege: The sermon discusses the privilege Isaac had growing up with a believing father. Reflect on the spiritual privileges you've had in your life (e.g., godly parents, a supportive church community, access to Christian resources). How have these privileges shaped your faith? If you didn't have these privileges, how has God met you and grown your faith? How can you cultivate spiritual privilege in the lives of those around you (children, younger believers, etc.)?
Breaking Cycles: Isaac repeated his father Abraham's mistake of lying about his wife. What are some negative patterns or cycles you've observed in your family or community? How can the power of the Holy Spirit empower you to break those cycles and establish new, healthier patterns? What specific steps can you take this week in one area?
Default Normal: The sermon talks about how families establish "default normals," both positive and negative. What are some "default normals" in your family, workplace, or school? Are there any you'd like to change? How can you intentionally cultivate positive "default normals" in these settings?
Fear of Man vs. Trust in God: Isaac lied because he feared the men of Gerar. Where in your life are you tempted to prioritize the fear of man over trusting in God? What specific steps can you take to cultivate greater trust in God in those situations? How does Psalm 56:3 apply to your life right now?
Letting Go of Disputes: Isaac chose peace over conflict with the Philistines. Are there any disputes you're currently involved in that you might need to let go of? What would it look like to trust God to provide for your needs even if you relinquish something you consider valuable?
Worship and Gratitude: Isaac built an altar and called on the name of the Lord after God reaffirmed his covenant. How can you cultivate a heart of worship and gratitude for God's faithfulness in your life? What practices (e.g., prayer, journaling, spending time in nature) help you connect with God in worship?
Peacemaking: Isaac made a peace treaty with Abimelech. How can you be a peacemaker in your family, workplace, or community? Are there any relationships that need reconciliation? What steps can you take to pursue peace in those situations?
