Genesis 20-21   20:1 Now Abraham journeyed from there toward the land of the Negev, and settled between Kadesh and Shur; then he lived for a time in Gerar. 2 And Abraham said of his wife Sarah, “She is my sister.” So Abimelech king of Gerar sent men and took Sarah. 3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, “Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is married.” 4 Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, “Lord, will You kill a nation, even though blameless? 5 Did he himself not say to me, ‘She is my sister'? And she herself said, ‘He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this.” 6 Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also kept you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her. 7 Now then, return the man's wife, for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you will live. But if you do not return her, know that you will certainly die, you and all who are yours.” 8 So Abimelech got up early in the morning and called all his servants, and told all these things in their presence; and the people were greatly frightened. 9 Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, “What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done.” 10 And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What have you encountered, that you have done this thing?” 11 Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife. 12 Besides, she actually is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife; 13 and it came about, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, ‘This is the kindness which you will show to me: everywhere we go, say of me, “He is my brother.”'” 14 Abimelech then took sheep and oxen and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and returned his wife Sarah to him. 15 Abimelech said, “Behold, my land is before you; settle wherever you please.” 16 To Sarah he said, “Look, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver. It is your vindication before all who are with you, and before everyone you are cleared.” 17 Then Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his female slaves, so that they gave birth to children. 18 For the Lord had completely closed all the wombs of the household of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.   21:1 Then the Lord took note of Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had promised. 2 So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him. 3 Abraham named his son who was born to him, the son whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac. 4 Then Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him. 5 Now Abraham was a hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him. 6 Sarah said, “God has made laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh with me.” 7 And she said, “Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children? Yet I have given birth to a son in his old age.” 8 And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham held a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. 9 Now Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, mocking Isaac. 10 Therefore she said to Abraham, “Drive out this slave woman and her son, for the son of this slave woman shall not be an heir with my son Isaac!” 11 The matter distressed Abraham greatly because of his son Ishmael. 12 But God said to Abraham, “Do not be distressed because of the boy and your slave woman; whatever Sarah tells you, listen to her, for through Isaac your descendants shall be named. 13 And of the son of the slave woman I will make a nation also, because he is your descendant.” 14 So Abraham got up early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water, and gave them to Hagar, putting them on her shoulder, and gave her the boy, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered about in the wilderness of Beersheba. 15 When the water in the skin was used up, she left the boy under one of the bushes. 16 Then she went and sat down opposite him, about a bowshot away, for she said, “May I not see the boy die!” And she sat opposite him, and raised her voice and wept. 17 God heard the boy crying; and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, “What is the matter with you, Hagar? Do not fear, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. 18 Get up, lift up the boy, and hold him by the hand, for I will make a great nation of him.” 19 Then God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink. 20 And God was with the boy, and he grew; and he lived in the wilderness and became an archer. 21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt. 22 Now it came about at that time that Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in all that you do; 23 so now, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my offspring or with my descendants, but according to the kindness that I have shown to you, you shall show to me and to the land in which you have resided.” 24 Abraham said, “I swear it.” 25 But Abraham complained to Abimelech because of the well of water which the servants of Abimelech had seized. 26 And Abimelech said, “I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, nor did I hear of it until today.” 27 So Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant. 28 But Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves. 29 Then Abimelech said to Abraham, “What do these seven ewe lambs mean, which you have set by themselves?” 30 He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand so that it may be a witness for me, that I dug this well.” 31 Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because there the two of them took an oath. 32 So they made a covenant at Beersheba; and Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, got up and returned to the land of the Philistines. 33 Abraham planted a tamarisk tree at Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the Lord, the Everlasting God. 34 And Abraham resided in the land of the Philistines for many days.     BIBLE READING GUIDE - FREE EBOOK - Get the free eBook, Bible in Life, to help you learn how to read and apply the Bible well: https://www.listenerscommentary.com     GIVE -  The Listener's Commentary is a listener supported Bible teaching ministry made possible by the generosity of people like you.

What if the God who promises is also the God who always delivers? In Genesis 21, we see Isaac's birth turn mocking laughter into sincere joy as God transforms His people by grace, not self-effort. This chapter contrasts slavery and freedom, flesh and faith, showing that the blessed are changed, cared for, and carried by God's promises. As Abraham plants his first stake in the land while still a sojourner, we're reminded that the Everlasting God is with us as we wait for the eternal country He has prepared.--Sermon by Pastor Nate Click--New to Heritage?

Sunday message. Through an exploration of Jeremiah 10, Pastor Jamie presents a compelling message about spiritual authenticity and reveals how our fears, desires, and pursuits can become modern-day idols. Learn how these false gods will ultimately leave us feeling empty, while the everlasting God alone provides true security and satisfaction.

Genesis 21 shows God keeping His promise at His set time: Isaac is born to a 100-year-old Abraham and 90-year-old Sarah, turning their earlier laughter of unbelief into joy. God marks Isaac—not Ishmael—as the covenant line through which He will bring blessing to the world, yet He still hears Hagar and Ishmael, provides for them, and promises to make Ishmael a great nation. Sarah insists Ishmael depart after he mocks Isaac, and God confirms this hard step to protect the promise. Later, Abraham secures a well at Beersheba, makes peace with Abimelech, and calls on “the Everlasting God.” We learn from this that God's promises stand despite our delays and detours; He often waits until things look impossible so He alone gets the glory. Trust His timing, stop “helping” Him with fleshly shortcuts, and rest in the joy and security of His faithful covenant love. - Greg Opean - Wednesday, November 12, 2025

Send us a messageIn a commentary written for “Endure” Ministries they write: “As believers, it is important that we learn and study the Names of God as revealed by His Word. In Psalm 9:10, it is written that: “And those who know your name, put their trust in You. For You, O LORD, have not forsaken those who seek you.” And while “Jehovah” or “Yahweh” is the most common and important Name for God, there are hundreds more Names for Him in Scripture. Each one describes a particular characteristic or attribute of God. Therefore, they help us to understand more fully His power, wonder, and might. They describe Who He is,  what He does, and how He moves in our lives. But most of all, it brings us more fully into worship of Him – the Great I AM – the Mighty and Everlasting God – our Savior, Master, Lord and King!Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

“Wow!” It's a word that expresses astonishment or admiration or to excite someone greatly. Yet that state of awe and wonder should be how stand before God and His Word. In this study, we examine what it means to have “holy fear” (reverence marked by awe and a tremble) in light of awe, wonder, and living with a “wow” before who our God is and the authority of His Word. By examining Isaiah 40, we will behold and be led into worship of the Everlasting God—for He is worthy and worthy to be praised.

Psalm 90Do you ever stop and think about how eternal and unshakable our God is? Do you ever stop and think about how short and fragile life really is in comparison? This Sunday, we'll do both. Psalm 90 invites us to face the weakness we all know -- our mortality -- not with despair, but with great hope in the everlasting God.

Sermon notes

The Christian life is a relational journey of fellowship with the Everlasting God that is entered into by grace, through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the regenerating power of God the Holy Ghost. Two of the most important aspects of every believers walk are knowing the character of God and the promises of God. The Lord Jesus Himself said in Matthew 7:24-27 at the end of the Sermon on the Mount, "Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not; for it was founded upon a rock. And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it".Right here we hear our Precious Savior tell us that we can expect difficulties and trials in our walks, typified by the rain falling, floods coming and winds blowing. Every person reading this devotional (and the person writing it) know how true these words of Jesus are. He is speaking about the reality of life here on planet earth before we die and enter into glory with Him forever. Job 5:11 writes, "Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy".Here we see that the character of our Lord is that He is very pitiful and of tender mercy towards us. Oh how merciful and tender hearted our Lord is towards us in addition to His unconditional love and grace. But we also read in Scripture exceeding great and precious promises, like Romans 8:28, "And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose".Beloved, whenever the storms or trials of life come in your life, particularly those things that you cannot seem to understand, what we need to fall back on are what we do understand. Our God is Good. He is working out all of this things that we do not understand for His glory. How did Job stand when he did not understand what was goin on in His life? He worshipped. He surrendered himself afresh to His God. He knew that at the end of the day, God is sovereign and in control of everything. And he was able to understand because he knew the character of God, and whatever promises of God he knew at that time. Such is true for you and me. SELAH

In Genesis 21 we see how God has begun to fulfill his promises made to Abraham. In response, Abraham worships the Everlasting God. The Everlasting God has always been at work and has not forgotten Abraham, even in the dark seasons of his life, and has been working even before he called Abraham. As Christians, we worship the Everlasting God who has come to earth to redeem us.

This is message 38 in the Isaiah series. Isaiah 40:1-31 God is revealed as the eternal Creator who rules with unmatched power, speaks with unchanging authority, and cares personally for His people. His wisdom needs no counsel, His strength never fails, and His presence brings both comfort and renewal to those who trust Him. All other powers fade, but He remains sovereign, faithful, and near.

SCRIPTURE: Psalm 90SHOW NOTES: For more Bible study resources and to enhance growth in your Walk with God, please visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth. Prayer is an essential part of our spiritual journey. Scripture is filled with examples of prayer and praying people. These individuals were not perfect, yet they sought the Lord. The Lord is the Everlasting God. His name—Yahweh—expresses His desire to establish a covenant relationship with His chosen people. He is the One True God and is eternal. God's clock is not like ours! A thousand years feel like a fleeting day or just a few hours at night. He exists eternally in relation to time. However, we are mortals, constrained by time. Teach us to understand life's brevity, so that we may grow in wisdom (hokmah—the practical skill, discernment, and ability to live a life that pleases God, encompassing both spiritual and worldly aspects). "May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands." Psalm 90:17 (NIV) SONG: "From Everlasting" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ara0P_pUMO4

Do you feel out of control? There is little we can control in life. Sometimes, it even feels like life just happens to us. But this is not so. You were made for a purpose by a loving creator who has a good plan for your life. Listen to these ancient words from the prophet Isaiah. It's about the stars, but it's really about you. Lift your eyes and look to the heavens. Who created all of these? He who brings out the starry hosts one by one and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing. The one who holds the stars in place loves you! He is the Everlasting God, creator of all the earth. He promises to give strength to the weary and increase the power of the weak, you! Lift your eyes to Him today. Always remember there is hope with God.

Passage: 19 Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” 20 The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?” 21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body. 22 When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the word that Jesus had spoken.

Pour down upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things whereof our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things which we are not worthy to ask, but through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord. Amen.” —Gelasian Sacramentary

Today we are continuing our study regarding some of the names of God from the Old Testament. Today we will consider God as El Olam, the Everlasting God.

In this messge Pastor Kelly shares the name of God 'El Olam'. Used over 400 times we discuss what it means that He is the Everlasting God.

The birth of Isaac was the fulfillment of a 25 years wait for Abraham and Sarah; and yet, this fulfillment of God's promises sets up several other key events in the Bible. So join us as we continue to explore God's Word and how its message fits together and even applies to our lives today!  DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1.    What miracle happens in Genesis 21? Why does this miracle help us understand the message of Genesis 22 when God calls Abraham to offer up Isaac?  2.    What were God's promises to Abraham in the preceding chapters and why was the birth of Isaac a necessary step in bringing about the fulfillment of those promises?  3.    How was this miracle fulfilled in both Abraham's and Sarah's life? How old were they at the time of Isaac's birth? 4.    How long did it take between God's first promises to Abraham back in Genesis 12 and their fulfillment here in chapter 21? How do you think Abraham and Sarah felt during that time? What kinds of things do you think they were telling themselves as they waited for the Lord to fulfill His promises? How might you have been working through such a long delay? 5.    Back in Genesis 16, Abraham had a son with Hagar named Ishmael. How was Ishmael's conception different than Isaac's? What importance does that difference have in the identity and role of the children of Israel?  6.    What was Sarah's response to Ishmael's mocking in verse 10? What was the impact of her response on Hagar and Ishmael's life? How old did the study suggest that Ishmael was? Why would this be different than Abraham abandoning a child?  7.    After Hagar and Ishmael leave Abraham's household, the Lord visits her in her distress. The study explained part of the comfort and encouragement the Lord gave to her was by clarifying what resources and solutions were within her reach. What were they? How can this help us in our own prayers when we cry out to the Lord in our own times of distress?  8.    The study mentioned that as people grew in their understanding of God, it changed how they referred to Him. Melchizedek called upon God as “El Elyon” meaning “God most High” in Genesis 14:19. Hagar called upon God as “El Roi” meaning “the God who sees” in Genesis 16:13. Abraham calls upon Him as “El Olam” meaning “The Everlasting God” here in Genesis 21.

We've come to a very ordinary section of Abraham's life. He interacts with a local king, makes a deal, and life goes on. Passages like this can seem a little random to us. But it's exactly because it tells such an ordinary story that it also shows us that God cares about our ordinary lives.

Life is short. Someone we love passes away. Someone younger than us is given a terminal diagnosis. Our own health takes a turn for the worse. The curse of death is all around us. In Psalm 90, Moses laments the curse of death. In a time when he was surrounded by the passing away of his own generation, he takes refuge in his eternal God. Psalm 90 teaches us how to live in light of our brief lives.

Very little in life is static. In my last episode, I discussed the constancy of change. Constant change can make life feel very scary and unsettling. What can we count on when everything around us is changing? Any human-originated construct or entity, including religion in any flavor, has and will continue to fail and disillusion us. What is left?
