Sermon Discussion Questions:

1. What was your biggest takeaway from Genesis 21?

2. Is it true that every promise made by God is a promise kept by God? How do you know? Can you provide evidence of its truth from Scripture? from personal experience?

3. How should this truth of God’s faithfulness to His promises shape your search for a lead pastor at Morningside?

4. Name a specific promise from God that is particularly precious to you. Why is it precious to you? When have you seen God deliver on that promise to you?

5. Do you want a God whose faithfulness to you is dependent on His submission to your desires, your demands, and to your timetable? Why is this thinking disastrous?

6. Charles Spurgeon said, “I have learned to kiss the waves that throw me up against the Rock of Ages.” How have you embraced suffering as a way to trust Christ? What role does the church family play in your life as the waves of grief crash you against Christ?
