    Laughing Away The Burdens

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 4, 2000
    based on 119 ratings
     | 15,145 views

    Abraham laughed in the cynicism of old age; Sarah laughed in the denial that defends against what is inevitable; but beyond both of them God laughed in joy at the triumph of His purposes, fulfilled in two aged followers.

    You have heard it said, “He who laughs last, laughs best.” Let me expand on that: I may laugh, you may laugh, but God will have the last and best laugh, for God’s purposes will be served. Laughter. There are all sorts of reasons to laugh. Some will laugh out of frustration; unable to do what ...read more

    “The Privileges of Friendship with God” Genesis 18:1-33 To say that Abraham was God’s friend meant that he was a human being to whom the God of the universe felt close, whom he regarded highly, and with whom He wanted to share some of His intimate thoughts.

    This sermon tells what is necessary to have families that are pleasing to God.

    Introduction The young preacher was shocked to hear the well-known evangelist utter the words; “Yes, I have spent some of the happiest moments of my life in the arms of another man’s wife.” Then, following a pause, the evangelist added, “That woman was my mother.” A few weeks later as the young ...read more

    This message first looks at the frustration and responses Christians have when God does not act according to our plan and then the need for our response to trust Him.

    Waiting For God Genesis 16 1 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 ...read more

    A meditation on Biblical themes joined by the word laughter.

    I had a terrible thing happen a few weeks ago when I was taking a service in a wee church (that shall remain nameless) in the country.

    Fourth in a six-part series on the life of faith as seen in the person of Abraham

    Shortcuts to God’s will are not worth taking. In chapter 16, we read that Abram and Sarai decided that enough was enough; perhaps God meant that Abram would have a son by another woman, since Sarai was barren, and so she gave her maiden Hagar to Abram. Hagar conceived and bore Ishmael to Abram; ...read more
