About this sermon

Speaker: Pastor Ken Addison, Teaching Pastor Beulah Baptist Church | Hopkins, SC Sermon preached: October 6, 2024 Scripture: Genesis 21:8–21 Sending Hagar and Ishmael away was painful for Abraham, but obeying God meant surrendering every possible backup plan and trusting His promise through Isaac. Sometimes God removes the things we rely upon so that we will stop trusting our own plans, efforts, and abilities and depend upon Him alone. Hagar and Ishmael’s story also points us to the gospel truth that salvation comes through God’s promise rather than our works. Jesus paid the full price for our sins through His death and resurrection, and everyone who repents and trusts in Christ receives forgiveness, new life, and the eternal blessings of God.
