"As For Sarah" - Genesis 17:15-18:15 - Nathan Edwards
What do we do when life is done with us?
Outline: Three demonstrations of God’s grace shown to us through Sarah:
1. God chooses the disqualified (7:15-21)
2. God seeks the unseen (8:1-10)
3. God regenerates the dead (8:11-15)
Questions for Personal Reflection:
1. What was something from the sermon that encouraged you?
2. What about Sarah’s story do you most resonate with?
3. Where do you experience the cultural narrative of winning/ succeeding/ flourishing is everything? How is it affecting your self-evaluation?
4. “Oh that Ishmael might live before you” How does substituting Ishmael represent an “I can win” mentality? What are some ways we try to make God bless our efforts and plans?
5. Read I Corinthians 1:26-31. Imagine you are in a conversation with an unbeliever who remarks: “The church is just full of losers and nobodies, who would want to be in that group?” How might you share that what he finds as a criticism is one of the most encouraging things about the church?
6. What is a “new name/reputation” the gospel has given you that has helped you not be defined by your past or failures?
7. How has God shown you “nothing is too difficult for him”?

"The Covenant Life" - Genesis 17:1-14 - Nathan Edwards
By covenant we are united to God Almighty.
Outline: 3 ways the covenant gives us a close relationship with God
1. Through the covenant we live with God
2. Through the covenant we live by God
3. Through the covenant we live for God
Questions for Personal Reflection:
1. What was something from the sermon that encouraged you?
2. Share a story from your childhood where you were overwhelmed, confused, or uncertain. How did a close relationship with a parent or adult help you through it? 3
. Imagine having a conversation with a person who has a general belief/acceptance of God. How would you show or explain the Bible describes faith as a committed, personal relationship?
4. What difference does it make between knowing God’s promises and knowing God personally?
5. Read Isaiah 49:15: Put this verse in your own words. How might you apply this statement to moments of uncertainty in your life?
6. Circumcision visually taught Israel the Lordship of God was over every part of their lives. How do you keep this truth at the forefront of your mind?
7. How does the truth that Jesus, the Holy One, became the Cut Off one so that you might have an eternal personal relationship with God (1) remove uncertainty in your relationship with God? And (2) motivate you to live fully for him?

"A God Who Sees You" - Genesis 16:7-16 - William Baker
The God of Scripture is the one who chases you down to bring you good promises because he hears you and sees you.
Outline: Why worship the Lord?
1. He chases you down.
2. He has good plans for you.
3. He hears your cries
4. He truly sees you.
Questions for Personal Application:
1. What was something from the sermon that encouraged you?
2. What is something that makes you feel cared for or reminds you that someone is looking out for you?
3. Hagar was mistreated and felt she had to flee into the wilderness. What stands out to you about the fact that God sought her out, even though she was an Egyptian servant and a complicated part of Abraham and Sarah’s story?
4. The sermon highlights four reasons God is worthy of our worship: He chases us down, has good plans for us, hears our cries, and truly sees us. Which of these stands out to you most, and why?
5. As followers of Jesus our actions should reflect God’s character to others. How might our words, attitudes, or treatment of people cause others to misunderstand who God is? What would it look like to represent Him more faithfully?
6. If you truly believed that God sees you, hears you, and pursues you with His love, what might change about how you approach Him and how you treat others this week?
