    The most difficult times in life are when God is silent. We must learn to be patient and wait on God. Sarah was a woman in the Bible who learned that it is hard to deal with God especially when he is silent. Contains some valuable lessons to be learn f

    The Hagar Affair Series

    based on 36 ratings
     | 8,602 views

    The birth of Ishmael came about as a lapse of faith. Like Abram & Sarah, we sometimes try to “help God out,” when instead we should be waiting and trusting.

    “The Hagar Affair” Genesis 16 & Galatians 4 Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus Massachusetts The Arab world dominates our thinking these days; it’s our major global concern--with the war against terrorism, hostage-taking, beheadings, and the Palestinian uprising in ...read more

    Hagar was lost from herself, but never from God

    Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. But she had an Egyptian maidservant named Hagar; 2 so she said to Abram, "The LORD has kept me from having children. Go, sleep with my maidservant; perhaps I can build a family through her." Abram agreed to what Sarai said. 3 So after Abram had ...read more

    This is the 28th sermon in our series on Genesis. In this sermon we examine Abraham's failure to trust in the covenant promises of God by sleeping with Hagar and fathering Ishmael.

    The Mistake (Genesis part 28) Text: Genesis 16:1 – 16 By: Ken McKinley (Read Text) Now as we’ve been reading about Abraham, we’ve seen him go through high points and low points. We’ve seen him walking in faith and we’ve seen his faith falter from time to time. Last ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapters 16 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 15, 2011
     | 3,026 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. As we come to Chapter 16 it is amazing how the tides change. Abram went from perfect in God's eyes to now tring to fulfill God's ...read more

     | 3,374 views

    Part 15 focuses on the sin of Sarai and Hagar and Abram and specifically examines the application to us about waiting on God to fulfill His promise. He does not need our help in fulfilling His promises ... we are called simply to wait on Him.
