    There Are No Shortcuts Series

    Contributed by Daniel Habben on Oct 16, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 14,090 views

    When we try to do things our way instead of relying on God's promises, we only make a mess of things.

    My dad was the king of shortcuts. While others stuck to the major roads, he took the back streets to avoid busy intersections throughout Tokyo where we lived. My dad had such a knack for finding these shortcuts that even the Japanese members of his congregation started to ask him the quickest way ...read more

    Live By God’s Promise! Series

    Contributed by Brad Beaman on May 24, 2022
     | 2,596 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

    El Roi – The God Who Sees. Abram, Sarai, Hagar, Ishmael

     | 1,498 views

    GOD’s Plans are best and in HIS own timing. How many times have we tried to take matters in our own hands, only to find that had we waited on the LORD, HIS plans would have been fulfilled. But "The GOD Who sees" will redirect us when we go off track.

    Ang kuwento ni Hagar at ang pagsilang ni Ismael ay nagtuturo sa atin tungkol sa kung ano ang mangyayari kapag huminto tayo sa paghihintay sa Diyos. Maliligaw ang mga plano nating gawa ng tao. Kailangan nating hanapin ang Diyos sa lahat ng ating ginagawa.

    Abram and Sarai tried to fulfill God's Promise themselves, by using Hagar and made a mess out of it.

    INTRODUCTION: Have you ever been at a restaurant and waited so long for your drinks, or for a refill, that you decide to just take things into your own hands and get them yourself? I witnessed just such a situation one day when I was in college at a TGIFridays in Covington. I had organized a ...read more

    Genesis Chapter Sixteen Series

     | 1,854 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

     | 1,850 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.

    Theme: Hagar, the Runaway Slave Text: Genesis 16:5-16   Introduction: Hagar is both a minor character and an important figure within Genesis. She is an important figure within Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In Genesis 16, Hagar is introduced as an Egyptian slave woman who belongs to Abram’s ...read more

    A Runaway Is Found, A Poor Decision Is Exposed

    Contributed by Gregory Fisher on Jul 16, 2018
     | 8,212 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

    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

    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
