This week, Aleena Lujan shares from Genesis 18:1-15 as we look at the life of Abraham and Sarah who were promised a son in their old age. Sarah laughed at God's promise, yet God reminded them three more times. There will be things that make us doubt God's promises at times. There will be moments where we may laugh to ourselves like Sarah did, even when God encounters us over and over again. We may still doubt, but that's why God continues to encounter us. So we can remember.
