Humans are born naturally egocentric. That is, they primarily think of themselves first. Ask any baby if they care about how hungry YOU are! While most of us outgrow this self-centeredness to some degree, we still fight it. Yet Isaac, in his leadership, thought of another before him. It is a beautiful example to us of how to lead. This Sunday, come and explore “The Turning Points of Isaac” as this patriarch of the faith veers toward faith and away from it.
