     | 1,832 views

    Hagar has long represented the plight of the foreigner, the slave, and the sexually abused woman. She was a Slave. She was abused by Sarah, and abandoned by Abraham. Appreciated by God.

    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

    An Angel Spoke To Hagar

     | 2,291 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

    Sermon # 46 - Are You Running Away? Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Nov 29, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 1,387 views

    Are you trying to run away from God ordained relationships because you are unable to handle them? Stop and get back to God and submit to His authority. The Lord can do wonders to restore relationships, and He will bring peace to our restless hearts.

    If one were to describe this period of time, in which we are living, we can depict it as a time when people are constantly running away. We hear of families who are in distress, because the husband or wife chose to walk away from home leaving their spouse and children in a state of abandonment. ...read more

    Live By God’s Promise! Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 24, 2022
     | 2,591 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

    It all begun when Sarah believed. Sarah had gone way past menopause, plus in her child-bearing years she was even barren, but in her old age she said yes to God.

    Mothers Who Defy The Odds Hebrews 11:11-12NKJV A six-year-old boy, separated from his mother in a supermarket, began to call frantically for “Martha! Martha! Martha!” That was his mother’s name and she came running to him quickly. “But, honey,” she admonished, “you shouldn’t call me ‘Martha’, I’m ...read more

    If you ever feel like life is out of your control, seems hopeless and you feel like no one can help, or even cares --- then look at the story of Hagar. Hagar teaches us that life is a struggle, yet God sees our struggles and offers a solution.

    The book of Genesis tells about different people who heard directly from God. God spoke face to face with Adam and Eve in the Garden. He spoke to Noah and gave him instructions about building the Ark. Then you can see how God spoke with Abram and made a Covenant with him. This lesson, we are going ...read more

    Is your life messy? Whatever the case, don’t give up because while you are running from a mess, you might just find a master; a God who sees you and knows you by name and has a plan for your future.

    Ever feel overlooked, unnoticed, or invisible? I know, I have, too. As a student in grade school, I longed to make a difference.

    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

    God responded to her suffering, not her prayer, revealing Himself to her and giving her the assurance that He had seen her affliction. This encounter provided Hagar with strength and the knowledge that she was not alone, but rather seen, known, and understood by God.

    Abraham is a foundational figure in the Bible, known for his faith and obedience to God. However, like all human beings, he had moments of moral and character failure. These failures are significant because they highlight his humanity and God’s grace in working through flawed individuals.

    The Path to Victory Pt 1 Abraham Key Character: Abraham, in the next 2 weeks we will also look at Moses, and King David Main Theme: Obedience to God’s call leads to victory, and our feelings of inadequacy are proof that we must rely on Him.
