Preacher: Nathan Nettleton
Topic: Abraham and Isaac, child sacrifice, fear and religion, law and grace, populism, scapegoating, slavery metaphor
Scripture: Genesis
Fear-driven religion and fear-driven politics run on the same engine. Paul knew it. Abraham discovered it. Grace is the only thing that breaks the cycle.
