Learning Faith the Hard Way (Genesis 16)

Sermon Notes:

Main point: In Genesis 16 we see the importance of faith in God’s promises by negative and positive examples, so we would be encouraged to trust God to fulfill His promises and be warned against trying to achieve by human effort what can only be received by God’s grace.
