Scripture: Genesis 18:1-15, 21:1-7 

Sarah thought it would be impossible for her to become a mother.  If placed in her position we might be just as skeptical.  Somtimes it takes an act of God for the impossible to become possible.  In this story we see how God intervenes and changes her skeptical laughter into pure joy.

Scripture: Genesis 18:16-33

Abraham loves his nephew Lot so much that he decides to pray for him.  He approaches God and attempts to bargain with him.  He pours out his heart in order to save his nephew.  But by the time Abraham finishes praying he realizes that his prayer really isn't about him or his nephew.  It's really about God and his love He has for us.

Scripture: Genesis 15

Abram had trouble accepting God's promises.  He needed proof, so with each promise God gave him a sign in order for Abram to believe.  The last sign that God gives in this passage is larger and bigger than any of us can even imagine.  It will leave you asking; "is this for real"?

Scripture: Genesis 12:1-9

God told Abram to leave his country, his people, and his family and begin to follow God.  When we are called by God, sometimes we are called to leave things behind.  What is God calling you too and what must you leave behind to follow him?

Scripture: Genesis 4

In this passage we witness the first murder.  Cain kills his very own brother out of anger.  How did he allow his anger to manifest to this point?  What small bits of anger do we have dwelling within us?
