No Laughing Matter - August 16, 2026
Is anything too hard for God? Abraham and Sarah were promised a child when they were far beyond the age of having children—and their first response was laughter. In this sermon from Genesis 17–18, we explore what their laughter reveals about faith, God's promises, and trusting Him when what He says seems impossible.Abraham also learns that faith means more than believing God's promises—it means trusting God's wisdom when His answer to prayer is “no” and obeying Him immediately when He commands. Through Abraham's response to God's covenant and his prayer concerning Ishmael, we see how genuine faith and obedience go hand-in-hand, even when God's plans differ from our own.Sarah ultimately joins Abraham in believing the promise of God, and Hebrews 11:11 reminds us that she considered God faithful who had promised. This message challenges us to trust the promise-keeping God, pray boldly, obey faithfully, and believe that nothing is too hard for the Lord—even when His promises seem impossible. Discover what Abraham and Sarah, faith, prayer, obedience, God's promises, and the power of God can teach us about trusting Him today.CCLI LicencesStreaming: 20008801Standard: 1242438
