    Throughout our lives, we encounter both triumphs and tragedies. Victories and struggles. In all of them, God’s grace is constant, as we will see through the child God gives Sarah, the comfort God gives Abraham, the water God gives Hagar, and the Salvatio

    Events can change IN A MOMENT. Our emotions can go from the top of the world to the bottom of the barrel in flash of time. The year was 1986. By now, the launch of the Space Shuttle was news but not like it was during the first few launches. This launch was different because for the first time ...read more

    Live is a mixed bag.

    Intro: 1. One wrote, "Life on planet earth has its ups and downs; its pleasures and pains. This is illustrated clearly in Gen. 21. Sarah giving birth to Isaac was a tremendous high; but then, a cloud settled over the household, as Sarah watched Ishmael mock her son. As a result she insisted that he ...read more

    Last week we saw the Lord protecting the integrity of the covenant by protecting Sarah from King Abimelech.

    God is sensitive to the plight of the outcast... to those who are marginalized or living on the fringes. God sees, hears, and helps.

    Title: What about the Second Wife? Text: Genesis 21:8-21 The Big Idea: God is sensitive to the plight of the outcast… God sees, hears, and helps.

    Sarah's me-ism blinded her to Ishmael's value; Abraham's comfort blinded him to how best to support Hagar and Ishmael; Hagar, like many of our mothers, had to trust God in the desert. We today must support the Hagars of this world.

    The barren landscape seemed to dance before her eyes, as she looked toward a horizon littered with debris, strewn with the rubbish of thousands of careless people who had gone this way. Filthy and dirty as it was, though, it seemed to dance before her eyes, for the sun was high above and hot; the ...read more

    The story of Sarai, Hagar, and Abram is really a story about how people deal with issues of faith . . . especially when our faith is being tested by God’s providence.

    God’s Providence: Whose Son are You? Scripture: Galatians 4:21-31 Genesis 16:1-4; 21:8-14 Yesterday, as I was reviewing the scriptures in Genesis, I noticed something that hadn’t struck me before. It’s a bit off the point, but I found it curiously funny. Let me review part of today’s reading ...read more

    GENESIS 21:1-21 The Birth of a Newborn God Finally Delivered (21:1-2) “Then the LORD took note of Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had promised.

    God keeps His promises even though people make mistakes and God’s ultimate promise is grace, peace, godliness and eternal life through Jesus Christ!

    Why is there war in the Mideast? Some say it’s because of the land; some say it’s religious. Just like anything else, the important question is always, “What does God say?” As we have been studying the Book of Genesis, we have been learning the origins of many things in our lives today. Why is ...read more

    God abhors mockery! Behind the mocking spirit is the devil! Do not give in to the instigations of the devil and mock at each other.

    Mockery! Genesis 21:9 “And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.” Loss of civility and a sense of decorum and decency was what all of us witnessed in India during the recent election campaign, where the politicians went about wagging ...read more
