O Come All You Unfaithful: Barren and Waiting, Weary of Praying (Abraham and Sarah) | Genesis 12:11-20, Luke 16:19-31
Show by St. Paul Lutheran Church
In Hebrews, chapter 11 there is listed several Old Testament “heroes of the faith” and yet we know each of them were marked by sinful behavior. The list includes Noah, Abraham and Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab, Gideon, Samson and David. At the end of that list of sinners God used is YOU. Discuss this paradox. The “UNFAITHFUL HYMN” uses the words “O come, barren and waiting ones - Weary of praying, come”. Isn’t it true that when we are tired of waiting for the Lord’s answer to prayer we take matters into our own hands. How do we balance godly patience with the demands of our hurried lives? Egypt in the Bible seems always to lead to trouble. Pastor Buegler said we need to be careful to leave the promised land for the allure of Egypt simply should remind us that temptation to see the grass seems greener on the side of the fence that culture and society seem to offer us. When tempted to jump the fence and be led by worldly desires causes us to forsake the promised land of Christ-like living…..what draws us back to faithfulness? When Sarah laughed at becoming a 90 year old pregnant woman the Lord said IS ANYTHING TO HARD FOR THE LORD. The New Testament says: “With God all things are possible”. Discuss some of the modern day miracles in your life that truly had to have been the powerful hand of God.
