Rev. Stewart Crown, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Palo Alto, CA joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Genesis 20.

Is it really a surprise that we see Abraham commit a sin 2x? In Genesis one does not need to watch very long before we see the need of a Savior. God is the gracious author and helper through these stories and works to prevent any confusion of the promised son. We give thanks that He carries us through our crooked paths, as He did for Abraham and Sarah, toward His promises. “Lord God, carry us through our sin to the forgiveness won by Your Son’s blood. Carry us through the trials that we may continue to grow in faith and in service to others. In Christ, Amen”
