Is Anything Too Wonderful for God? (No!) Genesis 18:1-15 & 21:1-7

In their old age, well past the natural child-bearing years, word comes to Abraham that his wife Sarah will give birth to their first child. In the natural this is preposterous for a senior well beyond menopause and child-bearing years to imagine (which is why she laughed), but for God... anything is possible! And what God says will happen, comes to pass. Not always in our time or way. In fact, rarely in our time or way but in God's way and wisdom. The promises of God are always worth waiting for. The trouble is, we're not always that great at waiting. In the long delay between the promise and the fulfillment, when we begin to doubt, here is an invitation to remember, "Is anything too wonderful for God (to be able to deliver on God's greatest promises)? No!". Rev. Lauren turned today's scripture into a script and various members of the church acted out the parts of Abraham, Sarah, 3 heavenly visitors and the Lord. We hope this message resonates for you in some way and gives you continued hope in the goodness and promises of God.
