    The God Of Hagar And Ishmael

    Contributed by Arlyn Sunshine Drew on Feb 24, 2022
     | 3,518 views

    The banishment of Ishmael is extremely troubling: it carries the sting of racism, bullying, and some might even say- a hate crime, life-threatening expulsion of a minor based on prejudice. But God turned this tragedy into a victorious coming-of-age drama.

    Let's read it together, Genesis 21:8-21 (ASV) "8 And the child grew and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned. 9 And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, which she had born unto Abraham, mocking.10 Wherefore she said unto Abraham, Drive out ...read more

    God provides for His people what we need when we need it.

    • Do you ever need a little shade in this life? John Maxwell tells a story that illustrates the importance of a positive attitude. A newly married woman insisted on going to the California desert so she could be near her military husband. The only place the couple could find to live was a ...read more

    The best kind of laughter comes as we learn to wait patiently on God’s promises!

    Laugh with me… Genesis 21:6 Sarah said, "God has brought me laughter, and everyone who hears about this will laugh with me."7 And she added, "Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have borne him a son in his old age." Hebrews 11:1 – “Now faith is ...read more

    If I’d Known Grandkids Were This Great, I Would Have Had Them First

    Focus on Abraham's faith and how we can consciously apply such faith to some area of life that is dependent upon God.

    It began when he was 75. God’s first call to Abram came with a look into the future. "I will make you a great nation." (12:2-3). So Abram packed up and left, just as God told him to do. He arrived in Shechem, and once again God told him it was coming: "To your descendants I will give ...read more

    The long awaited bundle of joy finally arrives

    The Life of Abraham, Part 13: A Son is Born! Genesis 21:1-7 Introduction In the last lesson, we saw a serious breach of faith in Abraham. He had failed to trust in Yahweh to protect him among the inhabitants of Gerar and rather trusted in his own wisdom. Had not the LORD intervened as his ...read more

    God chose that through Isaac and not Ishmael that Christ would be born.

    The Life of Abraham, Part 14: Isaac Shall Be Heir Genesis 21:8-21 Introduction The birth of Isaac was a time of great joy. But the birth of Isaac also would have important implications. I would suppose that Hagar and Ishmael rejoiced in the birth as well, at least outwardly. But is would not be ...read more

    Mockery Spirit!

    Contributed by Bala Samson on Jun 7, 2014
     | 6,525 views

    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

     | 10,915 views

    The coming of Isaac into their home brought both joy and sorrow to Abraham and Sarah. As you look at the persons involved in this important event, you can learn some valuable lessons about basic Christian doctrine and how to live the Christian life.

Genesis 21:1-7 (KJV) 1 And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. 2 For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapter 21 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 15, 2011

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 21 1. And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. 2 ...read more

    It seems Isaac was laughed at in one way or another all his life. Isaac means "laughter". What an appropriate name. A river of LAUGHTER runs through the entire story of the birth of Isaac.

    Part 1 - Genesis 21:1-7 - LAUGHING AT GOD! As he was born my heart was bursting with JOY. I held my son Ben up to the Lord and dedicated him then and there. I was so grateful for the gift of a child. I remember driving home at the beginning of that day laughing and honking the horn so everyone ...read more

    All of a sudden Ishmael isn’t smiling anymore. THE LAST LAUGH WAS ON HIM.

    Part 2 - Genesis 21:8-13 - THE LAST LAUGH! It was a boring job packing books and I remember we would look for ways to have a bit of fun in the warehouse. When people found other work and left the warehouse they were BINNED! Usually it was TIM who organised a BINNING with everyone, and he would ...read more

    DIVORCE is never pleasant, especially when children are involved, but Abraham doesn’t count on them getting lost. Most people don’t stop to think about the consequences of divorce or how much it will effect the next generations.

    Part 3 - Genesis 21:14-21 - MY KINGDOM FOR A GPS! When we left to Pastor a Church in the Whitsundays we left our children, Ben and Rachel, behind in Sydney. Rachel was still in her late teens, but both of them were already involved in Hillsong Church and did not want to leave. We remember the pain ...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.
