In this heartfelt message, we explore the theme of promise-keeping through the story of Abraham and Sarah in Genesis, contrasting human frailty with God's unwavering faithfulness. Drawing from everyday examples like a Bluey episode where a dad's broken promise leads to disappointment, the sermon highlights how people often fail to keep their word—intentionally or not—but God never does. Recapping God's initial covenant in Genesis 12 (to make Abraham a great nation and bless all peoples through him), the message traces the reaffirmed promises of descendants as numerous as the stars (Gen. 15), a son through Sarah (Gen. 17–18), and their fulfillment in Isaac's miraculous birth at Abraham's age 100 (Gen. 21). Despite Abraham and Sarah's moments of deep faith (credited as righteousness in Gen. 15:6) and grave failures (like the painful scheme with Hagar and Ishmael in Gen. 16), God acts graciously—not because of their merit, but because of His character as a reliable, promise-keeping God.The joy of Isaac's arrival brings laughter and obedience (naming and circumcising him as commanded), symbolizing the impossible made possible. Yet, sin's consequences surface in the tension between Isaac and Ishmael (Gen. 21:8–13), tarnishing the celebration. God intervenes with grace, affirming Isaac as the line of promise while vowing to bless Ishmael too, extending His care to the marginalized like Hagar. This foreshadows the ultimate promise in Jesus Christ—the "seed" of Abraham (Gal. 3:16)—who fulfills every divine pledge (2 Cor. 1:20), offers atonement for sin (1 John 2:2), and invites all, by faith, to inherit the blessings as Abraham's heirs (Gal. 3:29; Rom. 4:16–17). Just as Sarah's mocking laugh turns to joyful celebration, and Hagar finds provision in the wilderness, we too can trust Jesus for laughter amid waiting, faith like Abraham's, and soothing grace in life's messes. The sermon closes with a poignant call: Do you trust Jesus?
