Sermons on Sarah:

Got Faith?

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Aug 11, 2019

Abraham and Sarah point us to a kind of faith that can help us make temporary sacrifices for our heavenly home. This faith opens up our eyes to God's activity. And it actually makes God proud of us!

Hebrews 11:1-2, 8-16 Got Faith? Remember the old milk commercials, with famous people wearing milk moustaches? The caption at the end simple said, “Got milk?” It was catchy. It grabbed your attention. So I thought about that when it came to naming today’s sermon. We’re looking at the famous 11th ...read more

The Promise And The Problem Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 26, 2023

Abraham was a great man of faith... but not always. Sometimes his struggles with believing God's promises undermined his life and his family. But what did God do when Abraham struggled?

The Title “El-Roy” or the God who Sees was given to God by an Egyptian slave woman named Hagar. In Genesis 16:1-13 the familiar story of the tension between Hagar, Abraham’s servant, and Sarah, has all the ingredients of a modern day Hollywood soapie.

The Two Covenants

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on Aug 6, 2023

How does an analogy between two sons help us understand the old and new covenants?

Living under the law of Moses was like a child under a tutor, or like a slave. How does Paul explain this? Now I say, as long as the heir is a child, he does not differ at all from a slave, although he is owner of everything, but he is under guardians and managers until the date set by the father. ...read more

"the Tale Of Two Mothers" Series

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Feb 2, 2023

Sermon # 18 - Safe In The Shadow Of The Almighty God Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on May 7, 2025

When fear grips our heart and in those times when we feel all alone, deserted and feel that there is no one to help us or stand by us, let’s remember that God sees and He is by our side. The life of Hagar gives us a glimpse of God’s presence in the midst of life’s hardest moments.

Blessed To Be A Blessing

Contributed by Kerry Haynes on Mar 12, 2017

God chose Abraham to father a nation. He didn't always get it right. But he, along with his wife Sarah, teach us valuable lessons: to trust in God's sovereignty, to wait for God's timing, and to follow God's leading as we walk by faith.

Genesis 12:1-4 Blessed to be a Blessing Do you ever wonder why God seems to bless some people with extra helpings of blessings? And some people seem to sense more easily how God wants to guide them, how God wants to lead them? Abraham was such a guy. The Bible’s “Hall of Faith” in Hebrews chapter ...read more

A Living Faith (Hebrews 11)

Contributed by I. Grant Spong on May 27, 2024

Did the patriarchs and matriarchs of old leave us an example of a living faith or empty belief? Let's discuss this in Hebrews 11.

Is faith the assurance of things hoped for, the proof of things not yet seen? Did the patriarchs and matriarchs have a faith that pleased God? Do we believe that God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him? Let’s discuss this in Hebrews 11. What is faith? Did faith make the ancient ...read more
