In this sermon from Genesis 17-18 we explore the raw tension of waiting on God's promises — as Abraham and Sarah's decades of longing for a child. 24 years since God's call in Genesis 12, the LORD appears to 99-year-old Abram: "Walk before me faithfully and be blameless." Discover how God's covenant renames Abram to Abraham ("father of many"), seals it with circumcision as a sign of grace (echoing our baptism), and extends it to every household member—even Ishmael.

But faith falters: Abraham falls face-down laughing, Sarah snickers from the tent. Their doubt? Our story. Waiting isn't wasted—it's worship that glorifies God when He moves. Tying into Titus 2:11-13, learn to walk as whole-hearted disciples, saying "no" to worldly passions while awaiting Christ's glorious return.

Whether you're in a season of delay—unanswered prayers, broken dreams, or quiet hopes—this sermon will reignite your trust: God is at work in the waiting.
