Genesis: Hagar & The Boston Subway & Bad Shortcuts in Life

Published: May 20, 2018, 4 a.m.

This week our sermon time followed our baby dedication, which is appropriate as we study chapter 16 and Abram and Sarai's ongoing unmet desire for a baby for themselves. But instead of waiting in faith for God to provide, Abram and Sarai took a 'shortcut' to having a child. Shortcuts never work out. They are always our effort to fulfill something that was God's job to begin with. Waiting is never easy, but it's always best!
