Abraham, Sarah and Isaac

Abraham's Visitors Genesis 17:1-8, Genesis  18:1-8

·        When Abram was 99 years old, God changed his name to Abraham.

·        His new name showed that he belonged to God. Not long after three men came by Abraham's tent, and he invited them to lunch.

·        "Quick Bake some bread," Abraham told his wife. Then Abraham hurried to get some meat cooked.

·        When the food was ready. Abraham brought it to his visitors. The men sat down to eat.

·        In addition, Abraham didn't know it but his visitors were from heaven.

Sarah Laughs Genesis 18:9-16

·        When one of the visitors finished eating he said, "Where is your wife, Sarah?" "She's over there in the tent," Abraham said, "Next year Sarah will have a baby," the visitor said.

·        Sarah heard and laughed. She couldn't believe it. Sarah was too old to have a baby, she thought. Also Abraham was too old too.

·        In addition, Sarah was that old. Let's see how God keeps His promises.

Baby Isaac Genesis 21:1-7

·        In about a year Sarah had a baby boy just like God has promised.

·        Abraham named the baby Isaac. Isaac means laughter.

·        Sarah was so happy with baby boy. She said God has made me laugh.

·        Everyone who hears about this will laugh with me.

·        God can do anything however, sometimes it takes a while to see the answer.
