Bereans of Trinity

What can we learn from Abram about our rights and when we should exercise them? Abram lets go of one of the best chances he has to ensure the realization of the promise in his life. An introduction to a watershed event in Abram’s life which serves as a paradigm for all who would come to God.

Why was it necessary for Abram to wait twenty-five years to receive God’s promise? What does it take before the promise of God can resonate in our hearts? What was Abraham thinking about all those years? This is a watershed event in the life of Abraham. Finally, God attributes righteousness to Abram. Why?

Hagar, who has grown up worshipping the gods of Egypt, encounters the Living God of Abram. How will she respond when she discovers that He has always had His eye upon her?

In Genesis 15:7-12 Abraham (Abram) queries God as to how he can know for certain the promise will be fulfilled. God provides a remarkable answer.

Things are spinning out of control for everyone involved. Now Hagar, in an act of utter desperation, flees from Sarai. But she soon discovers that while she could hide from her mistress, yet God’s eyes are ever upon her. This turns out to be wonderful news for Hagar, as she discovers that He has been paying attention to all her suffering.

How did Abraham make the mistake that he made, and how did his mistake reflect upon his God? What happens when we try to take control from God?

Discouraged that she is apparently excluded from God’s promise to Abram, Sarai offers her husband a solution to their problem. Both of them fail to see that though the solution is culturally acceptable, it is a deceptive option.
