Abraham and Sarah (Part 2) OSHI ONLINE SUNDAY SCHOOL

Welcome

Today, we discover how God brings us laughter. Sarah laughed when God told her she would have a son, because she thought she was too old to have a child. When her son was born, she named him Isaac, which means laughter.

God's Word

Genesis 18:10-14 HCSB

10 The Lord said, “I will certainly come back to you in about a year’s time, and your wife Sarah will have a son!” Now Sarah was listening at the entrance of the tent behind him.

11 Abraham and Sarah were old and getting on in years.[a] Sarah had passed the age of childbearing.[b] 12 So she laughed to herself: “After I have become shriveled up and my lord is old, will I have delight?”

13 But the Lord asked Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Can I really have a baby when I’m old?’ 14 Is anything impossible for the Lord? At the appointed time I will come back to you, and in about a year she will have a son.”
