A Family With a Big Disagreement

The Promise Takes an Unexpected Twist

God’s calling to Abraham began with a great promise: that God would bless Abraham so that the nations would be blessed through him. A big part of this promise was the promise of children and offspring.

But more than 10 years had passed, and Abraham and Sarah were still childless.

What happens when a promise we’ve built our lives on doesn’t come to fruition? How do we respond?

A big conflict arose from the anxieties of an unfulfilled promise. People suffered from the conflict. Yet somehow God was still present.

There is a lot to reflect on from this story and passage. Please enjoy and reflect!

To Do this Week:

  1. Read “A Family with a Big Disagreement” (p.44) with your children
  2. Read Genesis 16:1-16.

 

Songs for this Week:
