There is no substitute for the preaching and teaching of God's Word. Each weekday on enjoying the journey, Scott Pauley leads us in a brief study of Scripture.

Today, on the weekend pulpit, we are happy to share a full-length Bible message given through Scott's pulpit ministry. These messages were recorded live in a local church or gospel event in recent days. It is our prayer that the message will be a help to you today.

I want you to open your Bible with me again tonight to the book of Genesis, this great book of beginnings, and I want to pick up right where I left off on the Lord's Day in Genesis chapter

number 18 and then take you to our text tonight. They jump right in the middle of the story. God

It is a recurring theme in scripture because in every generation, people have to be reminded

that there is nothing too hard for our God. And so we have this question. And then the answer God gives

at the time appointed, I'll return into thee according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have

a son. Let in mind turn a couple pages in your Bible and come with me to Genesis chapter number 21.

I have written over the top of this chapter in my Bible the words of Hebrews 1023.

He is faithful that promised.

Aren't you glad that everything God foretells He fulfills?

Look at Genesis 21, verse 1.

And the Lord visited Sarah, I love this, as he had said.
