Our Scripture Of The Week Is:
Hebrews 11:1 KJVS
[1] Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
This often-quoted verse gives a direct definition of faith, meant to be read in the context of the rest of this letter. At the end of chapter 10, the writer of Hebrews finished describing why the new covenant in Jesus Christ was superior to the old covenant of animal sacrifices (Hebrews 10:1–18). This concluded with a reassuring reminder not to "shrink back," but to "have faith" (Hebrews 10:39).
The definition given here is meant to tie this command to the examples given later on. After this verse, the writer will explain how the actions of various biblical figures proved both the existence and validity of their faith. Those contexts—former evidence and future expectation—are essential when interpreting the meaning of these words.
In the following verses, the writer of Hebrews will point out examples of believers who demonstrated real, saving faith in God. Each example of faith demonstrates trust, based on what that person knew and held as reassurance that God would act according to His promises. The "assurance" and "conviction" of faith is not blind belief, or gullibility, or wishful thinking.
Study of the various characters mentioned in this chapter shows that they all had good reasons to trust in God. Their "faith" was not naively accepting fairy tales; it was acting in full confidence that God would do as He had promised, based on those experiences. As the rest of this chapter demonstrates, that kind of faith—trust which produces obedience—results in God's blessings and approval.
Our perspective, looking back on their example, should inspire confidence that God will make good on His promises, even if our earthly lives don't last long enough to see them come to fruition. God "creates" out of things we cannot see—both in a literal, physical sense, as well as a spiritual sense. Just because we don't understand how God will act does not mean He cannot, or will not act.
Our topic today is:
Sarai’s Suggestion - Unbelief Actions
Genesis 16 continues to follow the life of one of Israel's greatest patriarchs: Abram, who will soon be renamed Abraham. To this point, Abram and his wife Sarai are still childless, despite Abram being well over seventy-five years old (Genesis 12:4). In fact, at this point in the narrative, Abram is pushing ninety (Genesis 16:16)!
In the prior chapter, Abram has voiced his concerns to God about the situation, and God has responded with a dramatic demonstration of His intentions. For all these many years, Abram has resisted following the normal practices of his day. Abram and Sarai were wealthy. They had many servants. Abram could have taken many wives.
He chose, instead, to wait for God to fulfill the promise of children through his barren wife Sarai.
Until now. In the previous chapter, the Lord had directly promised Abram that his heir would be his own flesh and blood (Genesis 15:4). Abram would have a son, and not merely a servant, as his heir. That specific promise does not seem to have been given to Sarai, Abram's wife.
At the very least, she does not seem to trust God's work in the situation. It's also possible she doubted that Abram's heir was meant to be born through her. In any case, it had not happened yet, and the ticking of the clock must have sounded quite loud as Abram was now well into his 80s and she in her 70s. Sarai has an idea to help the plot along, however.
With Abram in his mid-80s, Sarai has apparently become tired of waiting. In her eyes, it is time to go to plan B: giving her Egyptian servant girl Hagar to Abram, in order to finally obtain a child. Hagar was Sarai's servant, or "slave girl." Slavery in this era was vastly different from what modern people picture. A closer term for today's world might be an "indentured servant."
This was a one-sided arrangement, to be sure, but the relationship, as seen in the following verses, was not as simplistic as slave-to-master. It's possible that Sarai took possession of Hagar, an Egyptian, when Sarai had been taken by the Pharaoh for his wife (Genesis 12:10–20). Sarai proposes her alternative plan to provide Abram an heir in the following verse.
Interestingly, Sarai holds the Lord responsible for her inability to bear children. In her mind, He is the one preventing this from happening. As a matter of fact, God may have been doing exactly that: executing His plan for their lives in His own timing. Sarai, though, didn't want to wait any longer to see what would happen. Her plan may well have been a normal custom in the culture of their day.
If a wife could not bear a child herself, she could assign the role to a servant who would become another wife to the husband. If the servant became pregnant, th

I have something else to say.Welcome to HBES. Indeed double your jaide.
Oh lordy lordy to God goes theglory. God goes the glory,
(00:50):
the glory, glory, all right, right, Welcome to HBS and DW
jam hardcast. I am Jerry Joyce, your host. Our mission is to
(01:11):
provide the knowledge that will train sistersand brothers in Christ, to spread God's
love and create disciples. Our visionto share all resources that would aid in
the knowledge necessary for the building ofGod's kingdom. The adversary does not know
what to do with those who possessintegrity. We are not human beings on
(01:34):
a spiritual journey on the contrary,we are spiritual beings on a human journey.
With that being said, we willopen this Holy Bible study session up
with prayer, So please join in, Oh Holy eternal Father, Son,
Holy Spirit. It is once againthat we're coming to you, as humble
(01:56):
as we know how, realizing thatwe struggle to see you in this world,
full as it is of hurt andruin. At times, our faith
is threadbare, worn almost to awhisper, And yet we need you more
than anything. We need you toremind us that faith is a choice,
(02:22):
not a gift, You bestow onthose who are worthy. Even when the
panorama wounds us, we can chooseour view through the smallest of windows,
the ones bright will hope. Wecan envision our self, or the rockiest
(02:44):
of ledges, or preparing for flightto someplace new, green with possibilities.
There are times we're afraid that ifwe take a leap, we'll fall.
But it's not up to us,is it. You can do all things
that we cannot. You are theopen palm waiting to catch us. You
(03:06):
are the sturdy bridge to the otherside. You have faith even when I
were faith flounders. All we haveto do is walk with you. Thank
you for your continued graces and mercies. We pray these things in the precious
name of Jesus Christ. Amen.All right. Our scripture of the week
(03:30):
is Hebrews chapter eleven, Verse one, King James version. Let's read now,
faith is the substance of things hopedfor, the evidence of things not
singing. All right now, thisoften quoted verse kills a direct definition of
faith meant to be read in thecontext of the rest of this letter.
(03:53):
At the end of the chapter ten, the writer of Hebrews finished describing why
the new covenant in Ga zu isChrist was superior to the old covenant of
animal sacrifices. And that's all inaccordance to Hebrews Chapter ten, verses one
through eighteen. And this concluded witha reassuring reminder not to shrink back,
(04:14):
but to have faith according to HebrewsChapter ten, verse thirty nine. All
right now, the definition given hereis meant to tie this command to the
examples given later on. All rightnow, as we move on after this
verse, the writer will explain howthe actions of various Biblical figures proved both
(04:41):
the existence and the validity of theirfaith, and those contexts, Former evidence,
and future expectation are essential when interpretingthe meaning of these words right now,
and the following verses of the writerof Hebrews will point out examples of
(05:05):
believers who demonstrated real, saving faithin God, and each example of uh
of faith demonstrates trust based on whatthe person knew and held as reassurance that
God would act according to his promisesright now. The assurance and conviction of
faith is not blind belief, orgullibility or wish for thinking. Study of
(05:29):
the various characters mentioned in this chaptershows that they all had good reasons to
trust in God, and their faithwas not naively accepting fairy tales. It
was acting in full confidence that Godwould do as he had promised based on
those experience and uh as. Therest of this chapter demonstrates that kind of
(05:50):
faith, trust which produces obedience,results in God's blessings and approval. Now
I ain't now our work perspective lookingback on their example should inspire confidence that
God will make good on his promises, even if our earthly lives doesn't last
long enough to see them come tofruition. God creates out of things we
(06:15):
cannot see both in a literal,physical sense as well as a spiritual sense.
Just because we don't understand how Godwill act does not mean he cannot
or will not act. All right, Our topic today is Sarah's suggestion unbelief
actions you ain't now. Genesis chaptersixteen continues to follow the life of one
(06:42):
of Israel's greatest patriarchs, Abram,who will soon be renamed Abraham. To
this point, Abram and his wifeSARAHI are still childless, despite Abram being
well over seventy five years old,and this is in accordance to Genesis chapter
(07:03):
twelve, verse four. All right. In fact, at this point in
the narrative, Abram is pushing ninetyaccording to Genesis chapter sixteen, verse sixteen.
In the prior chapter, Abram hasvoiced his concerns to God about the
(07:23):
situation, and God has responded witha dramatic demonstration of his intentions. For
all these many years, Abram hasresisted following the normal practices of his days.
Abram and SARAHI were wealthy. Theyhad many servants. Abram could have
(07:44):
taken many wives. He chose insteadto wait for God to fulfill the promise
of children through his baring wife Sarah. Until now in the previous chapter,
the Lord had directly promised Abram thathis hera would be his own flesh and
blood, and that's in accordance toGenesis chapter fifteen, verse four, Abram
(08:07):
would have a son and not merelya servant as his heir. That specific
promise does not seem to have beengiven to Sara Rah, Abram's wife.
At the very least, she doesnot seem to trust God's work in the
situation. It's also possible that shedoubted that Abram's air was meant to be
(08:33):
born through her. In any case, it had not happened yet, and
the ticking of the clock must havesounded quite loud. As Abram was now
weiled into his eighties and she inher seventies, Sir Rai has an idea
to help the plot along. However, with Abram in his mid eighties,
(08:56):
Sir Rai has apparently become tired ofwaiting. In her eyes, it is
time to go to plan B,given her Egyptian girl Hagard to Abram in
or order to finally obtain a child. Alright, Hagard was Sara Riix's servant
or a slave girl slavery in thisera was vastly different from what modern people
(09:20):
pictured. A closer term for today'sworld might be an indenture to servant.
Now, this was a one sidedarrangement, to be sure, but the
relationship as seen in the following versuswas not as simplistic as slave to master.
It's possible that Sara Rai took possessionof Hagard and Egyptian when SARAHI had
(09:43):
been taken by the Fairoah for hiswife. In Genesis chapter twelve, verses
ten through twenty, SARAHI proposes heralternative plan to provide Abram and Error in
the following verse. Interestingly, theirholds the Lord responsible for her inability to
bear children. In her mind,he is the one preventing this from happening.
(10:09):
As a matter of fact, Godmay have been doing exactly that,
executing his plan for their lives inhis own time. Sarah, though,
didn't want to wait any longer tosee what would happen. Her plan may
(10:31):
well have been a normal custom inthe culture of their days. If a
wife could not bear a child herself, she could assigned the role to a
servant who would become another wife tothe husband. If the servant became pregnant,
the child would still belong to thefirst wife, as the servant was
(10:52):
her property. As repuzle as thatmay sound to our modern years, it
was the of that time and theway of their day right now, and
the slavery of that era was verydifferent from the brutality modern readers assumed when
they encountered that word. Still,this must not have been something Abram had
(11:18):
ever chosen to do. Before hehad countless servants. He surely could have
had any number of wives. Andyet to this point Abram had remained committed
to seeing God's promise for phil throughSARAHI and no other one. He was
a faithful man. Now, however, he allowed SARAHI to convince him to
(11:43):
try it. I wonder how harddid she try to convince him? Oh,
full, let me go on.It would become clear that this is
not the way God intends to gildhis covenant people. Apparently, if a
wife was unable to bear children,it was said, are appropriate for her
to give her servant to her husbandas another wife, with the understanding that
(12:07):
any children born to that servant wouldrightfully become the child of the original wife.
Either way, this is a planborn out of desperation. The end
results will be unfortunate, but notunexpected. According to Genesis chapter sixteen,
verses seven through twelve, it hasbeen a full decade since the initial promise,
(12:33):
and SARAHI is still burying all rightnow, Abram well by Abram and
Sarah's way of thinking, it istime for them to help God's plan along,
and they want for themselves what Godwants for them. They just don't
(12:54):
want to wait for him to giveit to them in the traditional way,
so they don't. I don't wait. In a disappointing moment of faithfulness,
Abram agrees, okay. Hagd becomesAbram's second wife, and she quickly becomes
pregnant with his son Pure. Thisis something which had not happened for SARAHI
(13:18):
in her entire life with Abram,including the ten years in caning after God's
latest promise of an era in Genesischapter sixteen, verse three, Then the
plan unravels. Hagard, elevated fromslave to wife and now to a birth
mother, she begins to treat hermistress Sarah with content. Perhaps Hagard wondered
(13:46):
what she and Abram needed with Sarah. Perhaps she resented it, resented the
idea that her child will belong toSarah. In any case, the dynamic
changes very quickly. However, thisimmediate pregnancy complicates Abram's family life. Hagar,
(14:11):
now wife of Abram and bearer ofhis only child, begins to resent
the woman who will claim that childas her own. Hagard may have wondered
what she and Abram even needed Sarahfor anymore? If Hagard could give him
children, wasn't Sarah unnecessary? HM, why we need you for Sarax.
(14:35):
Also, in that culture, barrennesswas considered a sign of a defect,
even divine disapproval. The fact thatHagard could immediately conceive when Sarah could not
after years and years, might havebeen s something that tempted Hagard to see
herself as superior to her master.However it was motivated SARAHI feels Hagar's contempt
(15:03):
and it wounds her deeply. Asthe following verses will reveal. What Sarah
seems to have failed to anticipate wasHagar growing contemptuous of her. Perhaps with
good reason, Hagard would not relishthe idea of giving up her child to
SARAHI and remaining the servant. Shewas Abram's wife too, after all.
(15:30):
Also in that culture, a woman'sfertility was seen as a sign of her
worth, So Hagar's ability to conceiveit misidly for Abram when SARAHI had been
childless for decades could have been asource of pride or a contempt for Hagar.
Regardless of her reasons or how Hagardmight have acted, this contempt was
(15:54):
not lost on Sarah. Wounded byHagar's add it to SARAHI complains to Abram,
me me me me me me me, me me me. Her speech
suggests she held him responsible for whathad happened. In truth, though the
plan was Sarahi's ideal, according toGenesis, chapter sixteen, verse two,
(16:18):
Abram was responsible. He approved ofthe plan, and he allowed it to
happen, okay, and he followedthrough with it. It was his responsibility
to declare whether or not SARAHI retainedher authority over Hagar. It's interesting to
note that sarah invokes the Lord's namein her angry plead to Abram. She
(16:45):
calls on God to be the ultimatejudge in this matter, going over Abram's
head in a sense, do youhave the complexion for the protection? It
is now time for our life reflection, all right. SIRRII gave Hagard to
(17:11):
Abram as a servant wife, acommon practice of that time. A married
woman who could not have children wasshamed by her peers and would often give
a female servant to her husband inorder to produce heirs. The children born
to the servant women were considered thechildren of the wife. Abram and Sarai
were acting in line with the customof that day, but their actions showed
(17:34):
a lack of faith that God wouldfulfill his promise. Sarahi took matters into
her own hands by giving Hagard toAbram. Like Abram, she had trouble
believing God's promise, which was apparentlydirectly directed specifically toward Abram and Sarahi.
Now out of this lack of faithcame a series of problems. This invariably
(17:59):
happened, and it's when we takeover for God trying to make his promise
come true through efforts that are notin line with his specific directions. In
this case, time was the greatesttest of Abram and Sarai's willingness to let
God work in their lives. Sometimeswe too must simply wait. When we
ask God for something and have towait, we can be tempted to take
(18:25):
matters into our own hands and interferewith God's plans. Although Sarahi had arranged
for Hagard to have a child byAbram, she later blamed Abram for the
results. It is often easier tostrike out in frustration and accuse someone else
than to admit an error and askfor forgiveness. Adam and Eve they did
(18:48):
the same thing in Genesis chapter three, verses twelve through thirteen. Check this
out out out alright. If youhappen to find yourself wanting to support a
minority business, try Natimia. Afterthe birth of their second daughter, Diana
(19:11):
and her husband co founded Nitimia.Their goal was to help make buying natural
baby products easier for parents. That'swhy the Nitimia team test out products before
they offer them. On the site. Nitimia sells hooded towels, punch shows,
(19:32):
washcloths, and bathing sets for yourlittle bundle of joy. You can
find this business online at Natimia onAmazon dot com. That's Natimia on Amazon
dot com. Hey bruh, whattime is it man, It's now time
(19:55):
to answer comments from HBS and dwch'swebsite. Alright, give me that holler,
Come on, holler, there yougo. Now, let's start with
Pasindu Dementca n Pasendu Demenka says Ifound your Bible study in Genesis chapter sixteen
(20:22):
to be enlightening. The story ofHagar and Sarah offers valuable lessons on trust
and God's faithfulness. Have you encounteredother passages that similarly emphasize the importance of
patience and faith in God's plan?Hm? Personally, I've drawn inspiration from
stories like Joseph's in Genesis, whereadversity ultimately led to greater blessings. Your
(20:49):
analysis of Hagar's perspective adds depth tothe narrative. It's a reminder that each
character in the Bible plays a uniquerole in God's larger plan. How do
you think modern readers can apply hey, God's resilience and trust in their own
lives. Huh, your insights wouldbe greatly appreciated. Thank you for sharing
(21:15):
this thoughtful study. All right,Hello, Pacindu, I appreciate you taking
the time to let me know thatyou feel that this Bible study on Genesis
chapter sixteen is enlightening. All right. Now. According to Philippians chapter four,
verse six, King James version,be careful for nothing, but in
(21:36):
everything by prayer and supplication, withthanksgiving, let your request be made known
unto God. All right. Andaccording to Romans chapter twelve, verse twelve,
King James version, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing instant
(22:00):
in prayer. All right now.These are a couple of passages that similarly
emphasize the importance of patience and faithin God's plan. In my opinion,
modern readers can apply Hagard's resilience andtrust in their own lives through constant prayer,
belief, fast and scripture study,and focusing on God without ceasing.
(22:22):
So thank you for appreciating my insights, and you are most certainly welcome for
the sharing of this thoughtful study andblessings my friend. All right now,
let's move on to Blaze J tripleseven. Blaze J triple seven says,
Hi, there, and thanks forsharing this interesting article. I also study
(22:45):
the Bible, and you have sharedvery interesting and important messages from the Book
of Genesis. Abram was chosen byGod and he was faithful, but because
of Sarah, his wife, hedecided to take Hagar's wife and obtain a
child from her. But everything wasplanned by God. In brit Hadasha New
(23:10):
Testament, we can read that Abrambelieved in God's word and he was called
a friend of God. God's planwas to create two great nations, Israelites
and a raps They come from Ishmael, two nations who would be completely separated
(23:32):
in the next generation. We cansee some of the story as his son
its Hack or Iszac had two sonsas well, isa and Jacob. Well,
I guess that should be Isaac,but it's spelled isa aak, so
it must be pronounced Isaac that wayas well. And then he has it
(23:57):
spelled as it z h a k. But the only ones who were but
the only one who was chosen byGod the second one Ishmael, and Esau
became an enemy of his brother.Today we have the same situation. Children
of Adam and I who follow hisword, and his son, Yes,
(24:18):
you are the Messiah Jesus, andthe children of the devil what good and
evil all the time in our history. From Adam and Eve and their sons
came and Abel till today's world wherewe have people who love and keep His
(24:40):
commandments and the second group people whorebel against God, his son Yesuah and
his commandments. Praise Yes you were, Hallelujah are the best for you?
All right? Hello Blaze J Tripleseven. Thank you for stopping by and
considering this sharing of this article interesting. Thank you for adding value to this
(25:06):
HBS and DWJ platform with the informationyou study as well well. Your opinion
on this topic is very much appreciated. And all the best to you and
blessings to you, my friend.All right, let's move on to Gina
says. Sarai's Suggestion is a thoughtprovoking and significant chapter in the Biblical narrative
(25:27):
of Abraham and Sarahi. This studyappreciates the depth and complexity of the story,
highlighting the human imperfections and the underlyingthemes of faith trust in God's plan.
The final section underscores the significance ofthis chapter in the broader Biblical narrative,
(25:48):
emphasizing the consequences of self will andthe importance of patience in God's timing.
Overall, Sarahi's Suggestion is a storythat offers valuable insights into the human
condition, faith and God's plan.The review successfully captures the depth and intricacies
(26:08):
of the narrative, making it acompelling and thought provoking read. All right,
hello Gina, thanks for stopping by, and since you like it so
much, thank you for continuing tostop buying advance adding value to this HBS
and DWJ platform. Your opinion onthis topic, as well as all of
(26:30):
the others you will come in onHint Hint is very much appreciated, and
blessings to you, my friend.All right, let's move on to Alviro
Raymondo. Al Valro Raymondo says thispost on Genesis chapter sixteen personally helped me
grow closer to God. It remindedme to stay faithful to God and trust
(26:52):
his plan. Heygard's point of viewis insightful. Else it shows how he
played a map role in God's plan. Having Hategard's resilience is what a lot
of us should practice to have.I see how God chose him to follow
his enormous plan. Huh okay,hello, there are a via Rod.
(27:18):
Thank you for stopping by and consideringSarah's suggestion. Unbelief actions and insightful point
of view. I often pray toGod for understanding during my Holy Bible study
sessions, and I find that duringso in turn, it helps me to
grow closer to God. So thankyou for commenting on this episode of HBS
and d WJ and blessings my friend. All right, let's move on to
(27:42):
Stefan ivan Naff. Stefan Ivana saysman, I didn't expect to stumble on
this story again, and after readingit, I felt something deep again.
I think the foundation played that wesee in real life movies teachers between a
(28:03):
man and a woman. It's socultivating, the need to have it all,
even after you got a promise forit. Patience pay off if you
follow the words of God, whichis similar to a personal gold, in
this case a family gold. Andas the beginning of mankind on earth with
Adam and Eve. This one gotruined. The woman proposed a way out
(28:30):
and the man didn't refuse and playedalong a forbidding fruit in the face of
a younger fertile woman or your promisegiven to your wife. Breaking the change
of the family also broke his name. So Abram now has to wonder for
ten years in Caden, where ifI remember, right, it's not cool.
(28:52):
There is rape, robbery, etc. Correct me if I'm wrong.
This is from memory. I feelthe Genesis stories are a strong read for
organizing your personal life, and Ilike the topic on it. Hello Stefan
Ivana. Uh well, first,uh, I would like really to have

Oh lordy lordy to God goes theglory. God goes the glory,
(00:50):
the glory, glory, all right, right, Welcome to HBS and DW
jam hardcast. I am Jerry Joyce, your host. Our mission is to
(01:11):
provide the knowledge that will train sistersand brothers in Christ, to spread God's
love and create disciples. Our visionto share all resources that would aid in
the knowledge necessary for the building ofGod's kingdom. The adversary does not know
what to do with those who possessintegrity. We are not human beings on
(01:34):
a spiritual journey on the contrary,we are spiritual beings on a human journey.
With that being said, we willopen this Holy Bible study session up
with prayer, So please join in, Oh Holy eternal Father, Son,
Holy Spirit. It is once againthat we're coming to you, as humble
(01:56):
as we know how, realizing thatwe struggle to see you in this world,
full as it is of hurt andruin. At times, our faith
is threadbare, worn almost to awhisper, And yet we need you more
than anything. We need you toremind us that faith is a choice,
(02:22):
not a gift, You bestow onthose who are worthy. Even when the
panorama wounds us, we can chooseour view through the smallest of windows,
the ones bright will hope. Wecan envision our self, or the rockiest
(02:44):
of ledges, or preparing for flightto someplace new, green with possibilities.
There are times we're afraid that ifwe take a leap, we'll fall.
But it's not up to us,is it. You can do all things
that we cannot. You are theopen palm waiting to catch us. You
(03:06):
are the sturdy bridge to the otherside. You have faith even when I
were faith flounders. All we haveto do is walk with you. Thank
you for your continued graces and mercies. We pray these things in the precious
name of Jesus Christ. Amen.All right. Our scripture of the week
(03:30):
is Hebrews chapter eleven, Verse one, King James version. Let's read now,
faith is the substance of things hopedfor, the evidence of things not
singing. All right now, thisoften quoted verse kills a direct definition of
faith meant to be read in thecontext of the rest of this letter.
(03:53):
At the end of the chapter ten, the writer of Hebrews finished describing why
the new covenant in Ga zu isChrist was superior to the old covenant of
animal sacrifices. And that's all inaccordance to Hebrews Chapter ten, verses one
through eighteen. And this concluded witha reassuring reminder not to shrink back,
(04:14):
but to have faith according to HebrewsChapter ten, verse thirty nine. All
right now, the definition given hereis meant to tie this command to the
examples given later on. All rightnow, as we move on after this
verse, the writer will explain howthe actions of various Biblical figures proved both
(04:41):
the existence and the validity of theirfaith, and those contexts, Former evidence,
and future expectation are essential when interpretingthe meaning of these words right now,
and the following verses of the writerof Hebrews will point out examples of
(05:05):
believers who demonstrated real, saving faithin God, and each example of uh
of faith demonstrates trust based on whatthe person knew and held as reassurance that
God would act according to his promisesright now. The assurance and conviction of
faith is not blind belief, orgullibility or wish for thinking. Study of
(05:29):
the various characters mentioned in this chaptershows that they all had good reasons to
trust in God, and their faithwas not naively accepting fairy tales. It
was acting in full confidence that Godwould do as he had promised based on
those experience and uh as. Therest of this chapter demonstrates that kind of
(05:50):
faith, trust which produces obedience,results in God's blessings and approval. Now
I ain't now our work perspective lookingback on their example should inspire confidence that
God will make good on his promises, even if our earthly lives doesn't last
long enough to see them come tofruition. God creates out of things we
(06:15):
cannot see both in a literal,physical sense as well as a spiritual sense.
Just because we don't understand how Godwill act does not mean he cannot
or will not act. All right, Our topic today is Sarah's suggestion unbelief
actions you ain't now. Genesis chaptersixteen continues to follow the life of one
(06:42):
of Israel's greatest patriarchs, Abram,who will soon be renamed Abraham. To
this point, Abram and his wifeSARAHI are still childless, despite Abram being
well over seventy five years old,and this is in accordance to Genesis chapter
(07:03):
twelve, verse four. All right. In fact, at this point in
the narrative, Abram is pushing ninetyaccording to Genesis chapter sixteen, verse sixteen.
In the prior chapter, Abram hasvoiced his concerns to God about the
(07:23):
situation, and God has responded witha dramatic demonstration of his intentions. For
all these many years, Abram hasresisted following the normal practices of his days.
Abram and SARAHI were wealthy. Theyhad many servants. Abram could have
(07:44):
taken many wives. He chose insteadto wait for God to fulfill the promise
of children through his baring wife Sarah. Until now in the previous chapter,
the Lord had directly promised Abram thathis hera would be his own flesh and
blood, and that's in accordance toGenesis chapter fifteen, verse four, Abram
(08:07):
would have a son and not merelya servant as his heir. That specific
promise does not seem to have beengiven to Sara Rah, Abram's wife.
At the very least, she doesnot seem to trust God's work in the
situation. It's also possible that shedoubted that Abram's air was meant to be
(08:33):
born through her. In any case, it had not happened yet, and
the ticking of the clock must havesounded quite loud. As Abram was now
weiled into his eighties and she inher seventies, Sir Rai has an idea
to help the plot along. However, with Abram in his mid eighties,
(08:56):
Sir Rai has apparently become tired ofwaiting. In her eyes, it is
time to go to plan B,given her Egyptian girl Hagard to Abram in
or order to finally obtain a child. Alright, Hagard was Sara Riix's servant
or a slave girl slavery in thisera was vastly different from what modern people
(09:20):
pictured. A closer term for today'sworld might be an indenture to servant.
Now, this was a one sidedarrangement, to be sure, but the
relationship as seen in the following versuswas not as simplistic as slave to master.
It's possible that Sara Rai took possessionof Hagard and Egyptian when SARAHI had
(09:43):
been taken by the Fairoah for hiswife. In Genesis chapter twelve, verses
ten through twenty, SARAHI proposes heralternative plan to provide Abram and Error in
the following verse. Interestingly, theirholds the Lord responsible for her inability to
bear children. In her mind,he is the one preventing this from happening.
(10:09):
As a matter of fact, Godmay have been doing exactly that,
executing his plan for their lives inhis own time. Sarah, though,
didn't want to wait any longer tosee what would happen. Her plan may
(10:31):
well have been a normal custom inthe culture of their days. If a
wife could not bear a child herself, she could assigned the role to a
servant who would become another wife tothe husband. If the servant became pregnant,
the child would still belong to thefirst wife, as the servant was
(10:52):
her property. As repuzle as thatmay sound to our modern years, it
was the of that time and theway of their day right now, and
the slavery of that era was verydifferent from the brutality modern readers assumed when
they encountered that word. Still,this must not have been something Abram had
(11:18):
ever chosen to do. Before hehad countless servants. He surely could have
had any number of wives. Andyet to this point Abram had remained committed
to seeing God's promise for phil throughSARAHI and no other one. He was
a faithful man. Now, however, he allowed SARAHI to convince him to
(11:43):
try it. I wonder how harddid she try to convince him? Oh,
full, let me go on.It would become clear that this is
not the way God intends to gildhis covenant people. Apparently, if a
wife was unable to bear children,it was said, are appropriate for her
to give her servant to her husbandas another wife, with the understanding that
(12:07):
any children born to that servant wouldrightfully become the child of the original wife.
Either way, this is a planborn out of desperation. The end
results will be unfortunate, but notunexpected. According to Genesis chapter sixteen,
verses seven through twelve, it hasbeen a full decade since the initial promise,
(12:33):
and SARAHI is still burying all rightnow, Abram well by Abram and
Sarah's way of thinking, it istime for them to help God's plan along,
and they want for themselves what Godwants for them. They just don't
(12:54):
want to wait for him to giveit to them in the traditional way,
so they don't. I don't wait. In a disappointing moment of faithfulness,
Abram agrees, okay. Hagd becomesAbram's second wife, and she quickly becomes
pregnant with his son Pure. Thisis something which had not happened for SARAHI
(13:18):
in her entire life with Abram,including the ten years in caning after God's
latest promise of an era in Genesischapter sixteen, verse three, Then the
plan unravels. Hagard, elevated fromslave to wife and now to a birth
mother, she begins to treat hermistress Sarah with content. Perhaps Hagard wondered
(13:46):
what she and Abram needed with Sarah. Perhaps she resented it, resented the
idea that her child will belong toSarah. In any case, the dynamic
changes very quickly. However, thisimmediate pregnancy complicates Abram's family life. Hagar,
(14:11):
now wife of Abram and bearer ofhis only child, begins to resent
the woman who will claim that childas her own. Hagard may have wondered
what she and Abram even needed Sarahfor anymore? If Hagard could give him
children, wasn't Sarah unnecessary? HM, why we need you for Sarax.
(14:35):
Also, in that culture, barrennesswas considered a sign of a defect,
even divine disapproval. The fact thatHagard could immediately conceive when Sarah could not
after years and years, might havebeen s something that tempted Hagard to see
herself as superior to her master.However it was motivated SARAHI feels Hagar's contempt
(15:03):
and it wounds her deeply. Asthe following verses will reveal. What Sarah
seems to have failed to anticipate wasHagar growing contemptuous of her. Perhaps with
good reason, Hagard would not relishthe idea of giving up her child to
SARAHI and remaining the servant. Shewas Abram's wife too, after all.
(15:30):
Also in that culture, a woman'sfertility was seen as a sign of her
worth, So Hagar's ability to conceiveit misidly for Abram when SARAHI had been
childless for decades could have been asource of pride or a contempt for Hagar.
Regardless of her reasons or how Hagardmight have acted, this contempt was
(15:54):
not lost on Sarah. Wounded byHagar's add it to SARAHI complains to Abram,
me me me me me me me, me me me. Her speech
suggests she held him responsible for whathad happened. In truth, though the
plan was Sarahi's ideal, according toGenesis, chapter sixteen, verse two,
(16:18):
Abram was responsible. He approved ofthe plan, and he allowed it to
happen, okay, and he followedthrough with it. It was his responsibility
to declare whether or not SARAHI retainedher authority over Hagar. It's interesting to
note that sarah invokes the Lord's namein her angry plead to Abram. She
(16:45):
calls on God to be the ultimatejudge in this matter, going over Abram's
head in a sense, do youhave the complexion for the protection? It
is now time for our life reflection, all right. SIRRII gave Hagard to
(17:11):
Abram as a servant wife, acommon practice of that time. A married
woman who could not have children wasshamed by her peers and would often give
a female servant to her husband inorder to produce heirs. The children born
to the servant women were considered thechildren of the wife. Abram and Sarai
were acting in line with the customof that day, but their actions showed
(17:34):
a lack of faith that God wouldfulfill his promise. Sarahi took matters into
her own hands by giving Hagard toAbram. Like Abram, she had trouble
believing God's promise, which was apparentlydirectly directed specifically toward Abram and Sarahi.
Now out of this lack of faithcame a series of problems. This invariably
(17:59):
happened, and it's when we takeover for God trying to make his promise
come true through efforts that are notin line with his specific directions. In
this case, time was the greatesttest of Abram and Sarai's willingness to let
God work in their lives. Sometimeswe too must simply wait. When we
ask God for something and have towait, we can be tempted to take
(18:25):
matters into our own hands and interferewith God's plans. Although Sarahi had arranged
for Hagard to have a child byAbram, she later blamed Abram for the
results. It is often easier tostrike out in frustration and accuse someone else
than to admit an error and askfor forgiveness. Adam and Eve they did
(18:48):
the same thing in Genesis chapter three, verses twelve through thirteen. Check this
out out out alright. If youhappen to find yourself wanting to support a
minority business, try Natimia. Afterthe birth of their second daughter, Diana

Come on, holler, there yougo. Now, let's start with
Pasindu Dementca n Pasendu Demenka says Ifound your Bible study in Genesis chapter sixteen
(20:22):
to be enlightening. The story ofHagar and Sarah offers valuable lessons on trust
and God's faithfulness. Have you encounteredother passages that similarly emphasize the importance of
patience and faith in God's plan?Hm? Personally, I've drawn inspiration from
stories like Joseph's in Genesis, whereadversity ultimately led to greater blessings. Your
(20:49):
analysis of Hagar's perspective adds depth tothe narrative. It's a reminder that each
character in the Bible plays a uniquerole in God's larger plan. How do
you think modern readers can apply hey, God's resilience and trust in their own
lives. Huh, your insights wouldbe greatly appreciated. Thank you for sharing
(21:15):
this thoughtful study. All right,Hello, Pacindu, I appreciate you taking
the time to let me know thatyou feel that this Bible study on Genesis
chapter sixteen is enlightening. All right. Now. According to Philippians chapter four,
verse six, King James version,be careful for nothing, but in
(21:36):
everything by prayer and supplication, withthanksgiving, let your request be made known
unto God. All right. Andaccording to Romans chapter twelve, verse twelve,
King James version, rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing instant
(22:00):
in prayer. All right now.These are a couple of passages that similarly
emphasize the importance of patience and faithin God's plan. In my opinion,
modern readers can apply Hagard's resilience andtrust in their own lives through constant prayer,
belief, fast and scripture study,and focusing on God without ceasing.
(22:22):
So thank you for appreciating my insights, and you are most certainly welcome for
the sharing of this thoughtful study andblessings my friend. All right now,
let's move on to Blaze J tripleseven. Blaze J triple seven says,
Hi, there, and thanks forsharing this interesting article. I also study
(22:45):
the Bible, and you have sharedvery interesting and important messages from the Book
of Genesis. Abram was chosen byGod and he was faithful, but because
of Sarah, his wife, hedecided to take Hagar's wife and obtain a
child from her. But everything wasplanned by God. In brit Hadasha New
(23:10):
Testament, we can read that Abrambelieved in God's word and he was called
a friend of God. God's planwas to create two great nations, Israelites
and a raps They come from Ishmael, two nations who would be completely separated
(23:32):
in the next generation. We cansee some of the story as his son
its Hack or Iszac had two sonsas well, isa and Jacob. Well,
I guess that should be Isaac,but it's spelled isa aak, so
it must be pronounced Isaac that wayas well. And then he has it
(23:57):
spelled as it z h a k. But the only ones who were but
the only one who was chosen byGod the second one Ishmael, and Esau
became an enemy of his brother.Today we have the same situation. Children
of Adam and I who follow hisword, and his son, Yes,
(24:18):
you are the Messiah Jesus, andthe children of the devil what good and
evil all the time in our history. From Adam and Eve and their sons
came and Abel till today's world wherewe have people who love and keep His
(24:40):
commandments and the second group people whorebel against God, his son Yesuah and
his commandments. Praise Yes you were, Hallelujah are the best for you?
All right? Hello Blaze J Tripleseven. Thank you for stopping by and
considering this sharing of this article interesting. Thank you for adding value to this
(25:06):
HBS and DWJ platform with the informationyou study as well well. Your opinion
on this topic is very much appreciated. And all the best to you and
blessings to you, my friend.All right, let's move on to Gina
says. Sarai's Suggestion is a thoughtprovoking and significant chapter in the Biblical narrative
(25:27):
of Abraham and Sarahi. This studyappreciates the depth and complexity of the story,
highlighting the human imperfections and the underlyingthemes of faith trust in God's plan.
The final section underscores the significance ofthis chapter in the broader Biblical narrative,
(25:48):
emphasizing the consequences of self will andthe importance of patience in God's timing.
Overall, Sarahi's Suggestion is a storythat offers valuable insights into the human
condition, faith and God's plan.The review successfully captures the depth and intricacies
(26:08):
of the narrative, making it acompelling and thought provoking read. All right,
hello Gina, thanks for stopping by, and since you like it so
much, thank you for continuing tostop buying advance adding value to this HBS
and DWJ platform. Your opinion onthis topic, as well as all of
(26:30):
the others you will come in onHint Hint is very much appreciated, and
blessings to you, my friend.All right, let's move on to Alviro
Raymondo. Al Valro Raymondo says thispost on Genesis chapter sixteen personally helped me
grow closer to God. It remindedme to stay faithful to God and trust
(26:52):
his plan. Heygard's point of viewis insightful. Else it shows how he
played a map role in God's plan. Having Hategard's resilience is what a lot
of us should practice to have.I see how God chose him to follow
his enormous plan. Huh okay,hello, there are a via Rod.
(27:18):
Thank you for stopping by and consideringSarah's suggestion. Unbelief actions and insightful point
of view. I often pray toGod for understanding during my Holy Bible study
sessions, and I find that duringso in turn, it helps me to
grow closer to God. So thankyou for commenting on this episode of HBS
and d WJ and blessings my friend. All right, let's move on to
(27:42):
Stefan ivan Naff. Stefan Ivana saysman, I didn't expect to stumble on
this story again, and after readingit, I felt something deep again.
I think the foundation played that wesee in real life movies teachers between a
(28:03):
man and a woman. It's socultivating, the need to have it all,
even after you got a promise forit. Patience pay off if you
follow the words of God, whichis similar to a personal gold, in
this case a family gold. Andas the beginning of mankind on earth with
Adam and Eve. This one gotruined. The woman proposed a way out
(28:30):
and the man didn't refuse and playedalong a forbidding fruit in the face of
a younger fertile woman or your promisegiven to your wife. Breaking the change
of the family also broke his name. So Abram now has to wonder for
ten years in Caden, where ifI remember, right, it's not cool.
(28:52):
There is rape, robbery, etc. Correct me if I'm wrong.
This is from memory. I feelthe Genesis stories are a strong read for
organizing your personal life, and Ilike the topic on it. Hello Stefan
Ivana. Uh well, first,uh, I would like really to have
(29:18):
some scripture on what what you weretalking about, because I'm not familiar with
what you were seeing. So uh, if you can give some scripture on
that, then I can look atit and take a peek for you see
they see you you know what myopinion on it or or what revelation I
received from it. Okay, butI do want to thank you for stopping
(29:40):
by and commenting on Sera Suggestions unbeliefActions, and I definitely agree that God's
uh well that the Genesis story isalready strong read for organizing your personal life.
All right, now, as faras I know, your comment was
stated, you know pretty good,I mean, but I'd like to have
(30:00):
scriptures follow up, you know.But uh, anyway, I wanna thank
you again for your time and blessings, my friend. Alright, but for
now that's what the uh what uhsever our suggestions unbelief actions is all about?
And uh With that being said,we would close out with prayer.
(30:25):

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
