When Worship Doesn't Make Sense

Pastor Coatney teaches from Genesis 22 that true worship is not just singing or gathering in church but offering our whole lives to God, even when His commands seem illogical or painful. Using Abraham’s test with Isaac, he explains that God sometimes tests what He has blessed—not to ruin us but to reveal and refine our hearts—exposing when a good gift has become an “Isaac” that rivals the Giver. Ultimately, he calls on us to recognize our own “Isaacs,” reframe worship as surrender and sacrifice, and trust that obedience with open hands is the deepest expression of faith.
