    People in the Bible had more than on wife why can I.

    I have had several people say to me over the years that I don't see why it is not okay for me to have more that one wife. Abraham did. Well let take a look and see if it was alright with God if he had more than one wife. Genesis chapter 16 verses 3 and 4. And Sarai Abram's wife took Hagar her ...read more

    A Runaway Is Found, A Poor Decision Is Exposed

    Contributed by Gregory Fisher on Jul 16, 2018
     | 7,931 views

    Abram and Sarai are desperate for an heir. So desperate, in fact, that they are willing to try anything...and, do. As life spins out of control the impact of their poor choices affects more than just their own relationship. But, God shows up as a searching and seeking God.

    A Runaway Is Found, A Poor Decision Is Exposed, And Faithful People are Tested. Text: Genesis 16: 1-16 16 Sarai, Abram’s wife, hadn’t yet produced a child. She had an Egyptian maid named Hagar. Sarai said to Abram, “God has not seen fit to let me have a child. Sleep with my maid. Maybe I can ...read more

    Scripture teaches us that God sees everything we do. The question for you is, Does that comfort you or concern you?

    Good morning. I’d like you to find Genesis 16 in your copy of God’s Word. And we’re going to wind up in John 4, so if you want to mark that too, then you’ll be ready at the end of the service. We have been talking in this series about the never changing, ever faithful God. Hebrews 13:8 says that ...read more

     | 9,956 views

    This sermon centered around Hagar is how the Lord deals with her during her time of pain and suffering. We examine how the Lord helped Hagar and how He is ready to help us with our times of pain and suffering.

    Scripture: Genesis 16:1-15 Theme: Dealing with Pain/Suffering Title: Hagar the Wonderful INTRO: Grace and peace today from God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit! I want to talk to you today about pain and suffering. Pain and suffering that can result from our own sins and pain and ...read more

    Abraham- No Child, No Problem--Or So They Thought Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Jan 13, 2021
     | 3,587 views

    The LORD had promised Abram and Sarai a child. After ten additional years, and no child, they decided to help God out. The results weren't exactly what they expected.

    Introduction: Genesis 15 has the story where Abram asked God a question after God had told him, “I am your shield and your exceedingly great reward (Gen. 15:1, paraphrased). Abram’s question was “What will You give me? I’m childless, and the only heir I have is Eliezer of Damascus (Gen 15:2, ...read more

    Sermon # 22 - God's Divine Presence Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Jun 13, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,227 views

    All through the bible the Angel of the Lord appeared to God’s chosen ones to strengthen them and encourage them with His divine presence. No matter what we are going through God’s presence is more than enough to handle all of it to come forth victorious.

    Gideon encounters the Angel of the LORD In Judges 6:16 we read, Then the Lord said to him, Truly, I will be with you, and you will overcome the Midianites as if they were one man. (BBE) As we studied in the previous chapter, the word of the Lord came to Gideon in Judges 6:16, when the Israelites ...read more

    An Angel Spoke To Hagar

     | 2,084 views

    Hagar was in the wilderness in Genesis 16. God sent an angel to her. We can learn a lot from her experience.

    When Hagar got pregnant with Ishmael, she despised Sarah and was disrespectful toward her. (Genesis 16:4b) Sarah told Abraham, “When she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes.” Abraham told Sarah to handle the situation as she pleased. Sarah “dealt harshly” with Hagar, and Hagar ...read more

    Even when the times are tough, and we feel like God should act … we must wait on Him! Abram and Sarai refused to hear this, and acted impulsively to usher in the birth of a child.

    Introduction - 2023 has had one primary “purpose”: To know there is a God! -- Continuing our series, “Alpha and Omega”; examining the beginning to the end - Last week we examined the promise God gave Abram which is also for us! -- Even in the face of despair and frustration (which many ...read more

    Live By God’s Promise! Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 24, 2022
     | 2,382 views

    The story of Hagar and the birth of Ishmael teaches us about what happens when we stop waiting on God. Our man-made plans will go astray. We need to seek God in all that we do.

    Time flies when you are having fun. Time does not fly when you are waiting on God’s promise. When you are waiting on God weeks can seem like years. Waiting on God can be one of the most challenging times. The temptation to step in and take control of the circumstances is great. It also causes ...read more

     | 1,638 views

    These are thoughts on Genesis Chapter Sixteen. In his work, "What does every Bible chapter say..." John Hunt gives an overview of each chapter of the Bible. It is my intention to do the same thing here.

    GENESIS CHAPTER SIXTEEN OVERVIEW Overall what is happening in this chapter is Sarai gives Hagar her handmaid to Abram to have a child. Thomas Coke (1801) – Genesis 16 Sarai, being barren, gives Hagar her handmaid to Abram: whom afterwards she treats hardly, having been despised by her. The angel ...read more

    A Mother's Day sermon looking at Hagar naming God, "the God who sees."

    The God Who Sees Genesis 16:6-13 May 12, 2019 There’s a few things we all have in common. One of them is the fact that at one time we were all children. And one thing I’ve learned about kids is that they love to be watched. They love to be noticed. It comes in different shapes and sizes, but ...read more

    In this section from the story of Abraham, we see that he and Sarah got ahead of God and tried to force God to bring an heir through Hagar. There are a lot of important lessons for us to learn from this episode.

    Introduction: A. One day there was a man who was taking it easy, lying on the grass, looking up at the clouds, and having a conversation with God 1. The man said, “God, how long is a million years to you?” a. God answered, “In my frame of reference, a million years is about a minute.” 2. The man ...read more
