     | 8,195 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.

    Hagar was a woman who never thought God would take notice of her. She wasn't important or wealthy or full of faith. Her only claim to fame was that she ended up in the middle of a big, ugly, complicated, mess. Yet God knew who she was!

    THE GOD WHO SEES ME Genesis 16:1-14 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Paul Dickson has written a book entitled, What’s In A Name? In that book he shares some of the most unusual names he’s come across.

    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

    As we continue through Hebrews 11 we come to the story of Abraham and Sarah having a child in their old age. It took faith to believe the unbelievable but we'll see that it wasn't easy.

    Don’t Settle For Ishmael When You Can Have Isaac

    Abraham failed to contend for a supernatural offspring, opting to settle for less than God's best. Many Christians do likewise. God commands, "Get rid of the slave woman and her son!" i.e - "Stop accepting only natural solutions!"

    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

    An article in Time.com a few years ago noted that ketchup flows out of a glass bottle at a rate of .028 miles per hour.

    As I opened to read Genesis chapter 16, I got stuck with the above verse, it is such an eerie moment in the life of Abram and Sarah which we all can relate to, but our future depends on how we handle such situations, if not we are ruined.

    Hagar Genesis 16:1”Now Sarai, Abram's wife had borne him no children, and she had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar.” Our website and facebook links: https://www.worshipjesusministries.org https://www.facebook.com/balasamson01/ The following five points are covered in this entire ...read more

    In my arrogance and indignation I have said in effect, "FORGET IT LORD, I'LL DO IT MYSELF!" GOD'S TIMETABLE IS OFTEN NOT MY TIMETABLE. It is not Him that needs to change.

    Part 1 - Genesis 16:1-6 - FORGET IT! I'LL DO IT MYSELF! I remember seeing some shorts to a movie once where a millionaire agrees to pay a couple a million dollars if the wife will sleep with him for one night. What would you do? The answer to that question tests your character. Impatience is ...read more
