Sarah - God's Promises are Greater than our Doubt | Advent 2024 | Bob Jennerich by Grace Redeemer Community Church

The details of God's plan tend to go against human nature and understanding. It's okay to make plans but we must live by faith. How can we align our plans with God's?

What's the difference between praying: "Thy will be done"  & not praying at all!?   2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.   Your decisions matter.   Where was Jesus in His teens and 20s?!   12 years old… Luke 2:41-43 Every year Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover. 42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the custom. 43 After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it.   52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.   Carpenter?

The second covenant in this year's Lenten readings is the one made with Abraham and Sarah: God's promise to make them the ancestors of many, with whom God will remain in everlasting covenant. Paul says this promise comes to all who share Abraham's faith in the God who brings life into being where there was no life. We receive this baptismal promise of resurrection life in faith. Sarah and Abraham receive new names as a sign of the covenant, and we too get new identities in baptism, as we put on Christ.Scripture Reading: Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16; Romans 4:13-25; Mark 8:31-38

159 – The Bible is full of women who speak with wisdom and have positions of authority.Several years ago in my Bible class at the Federal Correctional Institution in Danbury, CT, I put together a class on all the women in the Bible.It was fascinating to look at the Bible from the perspective of what women were doing and what was being done to them. One of the first things I realized in preparing for and teaching this class was that the Bible is full of examples when women were in charge, had great authority, were sought out by men for advice, and were chosen for important roles. These women were not subservient to men. They owned their power and fulfilled their God-given purpose by being true to themselves and to God.In this week's episode, we're going to look at a few of these women and see what we can learn from them. This not just for you if you're a woman. Guys, there are lots of lessons we can learn from what God does with women in the Bible.Here are the women I talk about in this week's episode:Sarah: God commanded Abraham to obey wife and do everything she told him, in regards to sending Hagar and Ishmael awayAbraham obeyed his wifeHusbands who think their wives should always obey them need to remember what God told AbrahamDeborah was a prophet and a judge in Israel, before there were kingsThe people came to Deborah as a judge and prophet because they truested her. Her reputation spoke for her. They did not discredit her because she was a woman.Deborah commanded Barak to gather 10,000 troops and he obeyedBarak wanted Deborah to go with him into battle. He valued what she had to offer.Barak was willing not to take credit for the victory because he knew Deborah was the one who brought the victoryHuldah was a prophet during the reign of King JosiahWhen the book of the Law was found in the Temple and read to the Josiah, he sent the priest and others to Huldah, a prophetess, to inquire what God wanted him to doThe king, the mightiest man in the kingdom, asked for advice from a womanMary Magdalene was commissioned by Jesus to proclaim his resurrection to the disciplesThis is a case where men should have listened to a woman but didn'tPriscilla, along with her husband, taught a very educated man, who thought he already knew the Bible, about how Jesus fulfilled the Messianic propheciesHow many times throughout history has God given wisdom to women, but people did not listen?Ask yourself: Who is God appointing today to share His wisdom with the world? When it's you, are you sharing it? When it's someone else, are you listening?

Anthea draws three key lessons from the life of Sarah: God’s timing might not be our timing; we can’t engineer God’s ways to help him along; and what God has promised often looks nothing like we think it will!

Now there's a chance for bitterness." -Sarah"I don't sit there waiting for a chance to explain the way of salvation. That very rarely ever comes... I'm earning the right to speak into their lives. I'm learning the right, as a friend." -Sarah"We might not like God's sovereignty at moments, but we can cling to it." - Sarah"There are questions I might always ask God, but I don't need the answers to trust God." - SarahTheology is so important for women -- there is a need for a bedrock theology about God's plan for our lives.

Our opening prayer in Mass today was, “O God who were pleased to give us the shining example of the Holy Family, graciously grant that we may imitate them in practicing the virtues of family life… When I think of this feast day there are two virtues out, humility, and obedience. First of all God presents us in our reading with impossible promises to Abram and Sarah. He promises an heir to a couple that cannot possibly produce a child, and when the promise is fulfilled and the child is born to Abraham and Sarah, God ask’s for the life of this child who incidentally the future of the family rest, But through faith and obedience, God spares the life of Abrahams son Isaac. The impossibility of Gods demands had to be so overwhelming for Abraham. I think this tells us our God is a God of surprises. And then if we parallel that to Joseph and Mary, they too thought God was asking an impossible demand upon first hearing what God was asking of them. They in humble obedience rose to accept God’s challenge. In humble obedience they accepted their vocation in life to raise the child Jesus, the Son of God. And similar to Abraham and Sarah God would ask for the life of this child, only this time God would take the child Jesus as a sacrifice for all of our sins. When life presents us with challenges, we can look to a great example on how to persevere. Life is not ever easy; a job loss, death of a loved one, the ill timed loss of our health, a family member who is addicted to pornography, drugs or alcohol. the list can be endless. But in the midst of all these life surprises, if we follow the path of humble obedience to God, he will also bring us many consolations of joys and happiness. Sometimes we can get so caught up in the desolations we go through that we often times miss the gifts God gives us each day. Let us follow the example of the Holy Family of humble obedience. Lets us listen in prayer and in humble adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. And then follow in humble obedience to where he is leading us. The Holy Family can intercede for us. Let the Holy Family be our guide.

A daily devotional walking through God's word together using The Bible Reading Plan at http://www.bible-reading.com/bible-plan.html. Our website http://alittlewalkwithgod.com. Welcome back to our study of “The Story,” God story of His plan to bring us back to Him. Last week we talked about the Garden of Eden, why we are no longer in it, the curse of evil we all inherited because of Adam and Eve's decision to disobey, and God's working to redeem us - to bring us back into fellowship with Him. The story of the Garden is the first of five major movements in God's word, His story. Today we begin the second movement, the birth of the nation of Israel. Bible Reading Plan - www.Bible-Reading.com - or Genesis chapters 12-35 When I was a kid, I'll have to admit I wasn't the most athletic person in my community. I was always the geek. Loved reading and science and math. I enjoyed learning more than running around outside getting all hot and sweaty. So one of the things I remember about that time of my life are the games we had to play in school in which someone was made the captain of each side and those captains began to choose their team from all the kids around them. If I wasn't the last person picked, I was next to last just about every time. I just wasn't very good at sports and so I never got picked early. I could write well, debate, take tests of all kinds and perform at the top of the class in those areas. But sports? Not so much. A strange thing happened on one of those fields one day, though. One of the best players on the field was a friend. On this particular day, he was chosen as the captain of one of the teams. I was at the back of the crowd of kids trying to be as inconspicuous as possible.Trying not to be as embarrassed as usual. I wasn't paying much attention to what was going on at the front of the crowd because I knew I'd be one of the last one's whose name was called. But my friend, the captain that day, made the first pick and he called my name. He had to call it twice, though, because I was in shock. No one picked me first. The other captain called a name and then my friend called the name of the second least likely to be asked to play. Then when he called the third name for his team, it was another geek, least likely to play any kind of sport. And that's how it went until everyone was picked. I don't even remember what the score was at the end of the softball game that day, but I remember being called first when teams were formed. I also remember we didn't win the game, but all of us on that team played our hearts out for our captain. He broke the cultural traditions and put together the worst team you could imagine. God's story, beginning at Genesis 12, tells of the selection of two unlikely people. If we were trying to build a nation, we wouldn't pick Abram and Sarai. We would probably find the son of some wealthy king and spark a new nation from him. We would probably look at the pedigree of those who applied and like the majority of the world, we would peruse all those resumes to pick the very best couple we could to form this new nation. But God's story is a little different. He chooses some of the most unlikely people to carry out His plan so there is no question about His intervention in the story. Abraham and Sarah (God changed their names along the way) were old. She was barren. They had no children. How was a great nation to start from an old couple with no children. He was already well past retirement age when his son Isaac was born. Abraham was 100 and Sarah was 90. Then about fifteen years later, God tells Abraham to sacrifice his son. The heir to his property. The one who was promised as the means of building a new nation that would bless all the other nations of the world. These 20 plus chapters in Genesis tell the story of how God chooses the way my friend did that day on the field. There is one really important difference, though. On the softball field, that broken team didn't play very well. We played hard, but we lost. But when God chooses someone to carry out His work, when we do what He asks, the plan never fails. The plan doesn't fail because God doesn't fail. He intends to use men and women like Abraham and Sarah to bless others. Was Abraham perfect after God chose him? Not by a long shot. That's one of the things that's different about His Story. He tells us the good and the bad about the heroes in scripture. God's story doesn't hide the disappointment, the disobedience, the sin in the lives of those upon whom His kingdom is built. It's one of those “tell all” kinds of stories. We see behind the curtain and see all the warts and wrongs and brokenness of those God chooses to do His work. What that tells me, when I read stories of Abraham and his deceit with Pharaoh or the story of Jacob lying to his father and stealing his brother's birthright or the story of Judah sleeping with his daughter-in-law, is that God can use all the people the world would never pick. He looks at the back of the crowd at those who are least likely to succeed. He finds those who the world would snub their nose and question why God would think to use “that person.” God knows what He is doing, though. God works through some of the least likely for two reasons, I think. First, when those least likely carry out His plan and others around see the success of God's work through the efforts of the least likely to succeed, there can be no question that God is part of the plan. There is just no other way to explain how things work because we cannot see around the bend in the road. We can't see how everything will work because we live in the lower story of God's word while He operates in the upper story. God not only sees what's ahead, but intervenes to make sure His plans happen as He intends. Second, when we read about people like Judah and Jacob and Abraham and the mistakes they made yet were honored by God when they returned and followed Him, we can understand that God can use you and me too. He can take us with all our warts, all our brokenness, all our failures and turn us into instruments of His love and part of His great plan. The question is whether we will be part of His plan or fighting against His plan. The choice is ours to make. God won't force us to follow Him or accept Him as our redeemer. He won't push us to do something we refuse to do. He will let us choose our own path. But we also suffer the consequences of taking the wrong path. He tells us how best to live. His word gives us instruction on how to get along with others, how to succeed in life. How to treat our children and our spouse. How to find Him and His redemptive power in our lives. But still, God lets us choose. He knows the best path for us and if we will look up and follow Him, He will show us which path to take. But we still get to choose whether we will take it or not. So here we are at the beginning of the nation of Israel. God made it possible for Abraham to bless the world through his offspring. Abraham decided to accept God's offer and to follow Him. You can look at the first chapter of the New Testament and discover just how blessed the world is because of Abraham's faithfulness. Jesus is his descendant. Both Mary and Joseph trace their heritage back to this man who decided to trust God and follow the path He laid out. So what can you do? Can you change the world for God? No. Neither could Abraham. But God can change the world through you just as He changed the world through Abraham. An unlikely candidate for greatness, but God change that in Abraham. You might think you are an unlikely candidate for greatness. But God can use you to carry out His plans and make all things good as you carry out His purpose in your part of His creation. So what will it be? You can find me at richardagee.com. I also invite you to join us at San Antonio First Church of the Nazarene on West Avenue in San Antonio to hear more about The Story and our part in it.
