Why Did Sarah Laugh ?

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 19, 2024

Since God spoke to Abraham regularly, Abraham was strengthened and was able to sustain 25 long years waiting for the promised child. But this was not the case for Sarah.

And the LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’ Genesis 18:13 Sarah might have laughed because she had no more tears left to weep or cry for the fulfilment of the promise. Her tears might have been exhausted over the course of 25 long ...read more

The Curse Of The Law Does Not Lead To Salvation

Contributed by Craig Condon on May 7, 2015

The presence of the Holy Spirit is the start of a new age. It points to the future, and it also points to courage, strength and power that we need to live as Christians in our sin-filled world.

In the reading we heard from Galatians 3:1-14 a few minutes ago, the apostle Paul is chastising the Galatians in love for wandering away from the truth of God’s Word. He calls them foolish (or having a lack of wisdom) for living by the world’s rules instead of living by God’s ...read more

When God Asks For Your Isaac Series

Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Jan 17, 2014

God asked Abraham to lay down his Isaac. His story is an incredible picture of the Cross and how God loved us enough to surrender His Son, Jesus, for our sin. Do we love Him enough to surrender our Isaac today?

The Bible teaches three key truths about trials in the life of a believer: 1) Trials come to ...read more
