A DRESS REHEARSAL FOR CALVARY
A Dress Rehearsal For Calvary
Adrian Rogers
Take your bibles please and find the book of Genesis, and the twenty second chapter of that book. Genesis chapter twenty two. You will remember that about a year ago I preached a series of messages on Christ in the Old Testament. And in that time we dealt with this chapter.

And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, my father, and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, behold the fire and the wood, ...
