The Promise Arrives… With a Cost | Genesis 21 Isaac, Hagar & Ishmael
In this episode of Beers With Jesus, Todd and Carrie walk through Genesis 21 in The Message: Isaac is finally born, Sarah laughs, and the long-awaited promise is fulfilled. Then the joy collides with real pain as Hagar and Ishmael are sent away.
We talk about:
Abraham’s grief at the peak of the promise
Blended-family dynamics and the cost of trying to “help” God
Hagar in the desert and God opening her eyes when it felt too late
The Beersheba covenant and why Abraham plants a tamarisk tree
What it means that this is God’s story, not Abraham’s
Scripture: Genesis 21 (The Message)
