Summary
Genesis 18 reveals Christ appearing to Abraham and Sarah during their 25-year wait for a promised child, demonstrating that Christ draws near to those whose waiting drifts toward doubt. The sermon explores how God works through impossible circumstances in counterintuitive ways, confronting cynicism with loving restoration rather than judgment.
Highlights
God doesn't just work through impossible circumstances; sometimes God intentionally waits until circumstances become impossible for him to act.
There is nothing too wonderful for the Lord. He is going to exceed your expectation. He, God, the creator of the heavens and the earth is going to do immeasurably more than you can ask for or imagine.
A momentary season of doubt doesn't mean you have to be remembered as a doubter. A momentary season of cynicism doesn't have to mean that your epitaph says cynical.
