Message Notes
Abraham and Sarah doubt.
Genesis 16:1-2 (NKJV), “Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. And she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar. 2 So Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the Lord has restrained me from bearing children. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall obtain children by her.” And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai.”
Abraham believes again.
Genesis 17:1,10-11, 24 (NKJV), “When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am Almighty God; walk before Me and be blameless… 10 This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you: Every male child among you shall be circumcised; 11 and you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between Me and you… 24 Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.”
Sarah doubt again and lies.
Genesis 18:13-15 (NKJV), “And the Lord said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I surely bear a child, since I am old?’ 14 Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” 15 But Sarah denied it, saying, “I did not laugh,” for she was afraid. And He said, “No, but you did laugh!”
Abraham negotiates.
Genesis 18:23-32 (NKJV), “And Abraham came near and said, “Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 24 Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it? 25 Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”
Abraham doubts (and lies) again.
Genesis 20:2 (NKJV), “Now Abraham said of Sarah his wife, “She is my sister.” And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.”
Abraham and Sarah receive the promise
Genesis 21:1-2 (NKJV), “And the Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken. 2 For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.
Genesis 21:5-6 (NKJV), “Now Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. 6 And Sarah said, “God has made me laugh, and all who hear will laugh with me.”
Responses/Reflections:
Thank You, God, for not giving up on Abraham and Sarah.
Thank You, God, for not giving up on me.
Because You are in control, I believe that even with my weaknesses, my flaws, my shortcomings, my failures, and my sins, You still want to use me to help others.

Consider someone you may find challenging to pray for with love as Christ loves them. Pray for that person and acknowledge them in your prayer as a child of God. Open your heart to being softened by the compassion of the Holy Spirit." (Philippians 2:5, Matthew 18:1-5)
