Manage episode 446232617 series 3436442
In this enlightening sermon, Apostle Gregory D. Kelley dives into the story of Sarah and Abraham’s laughter, drawing on Genesis 21:1-7 (NKJV) and Genesis 18:12-13 (NKJV). The laughter they shared was not merely one of joy but a mixture of disbelief, skepticism, and wonder at the promises of God. Apostle Kelley explores how Sarah, upon hearing the Lord’s promise of a son, laughed in skepticism, doubting the reality of such a miracle at her old age. Genesis 18:12-13 highlights this intellectual skepticism, as both Abraham and Sarah were faced with the seeming impossibility of God’s promise.
Apostle Kelley ties this story to 2 Corinthians 1:20 (NKJV), emphasizing that all of God's promises are "Yes" and "Amen" in Christ, regardless of human doubt. The message underscores how even in moments of skepticism or laughter rooted in disbelief, God's word remains true, and His promises never fail.
The sermon further reflects on Genesis 21:8 (NKJV), as the fulfillment of God's promise brought laughter of a different kind—one of joy and amazement. Sarah’s disbelief turned into overwhelming joy as Isaac, the promised son, was born, and their laughter became a testament to the faithfulness of God.
