Joys and Sorrows in Receiving God's Promises | Genesis 21:1-21

On Sunday, 3 December Pastor Craig Baxter continued the series 'Genesis: God's Unveiling Plan of Redemption and Blessing' with 'Joys and Sorrows in Receiving God's Promises' from Genesis 21:1-21.

When the Lord fulfilled his Word by providing Isaac, the child of promise, Abraham and Sarah responded with joyful obedience and praise. However, Ishmael became a threat to the promised heir, prompting his expulsion into the wilderness, where God provided for him and his mother.

• The JOYS of receiving God’s Promises (vv. 1-7)
  God’s promises will be fulfilled
  God’s promises will be fulfilled in His time
  God’s promises will be fulfilled often when we have come to the end of ourselves
  God’s promises received result in immense joy
   
• The SORROWS of receiving God’s Promises (vv. 8-21)
