A Mother’s Faith | Pastor Grant Ethridge | Liberty Live Church
The message “A Mother’s Faith” focuses on the story of The Bible figures Abraham and Sarah, showing how God fulfilled His promise despite impossible circumstances. God promised they would become the parents of a great nation, even though Sarah was unable to have children and both were very old. During years of waiting, Abraham and Sarah struggled with doubt, impatience, and poor decisions, including involving Hagar in an attempt to force God’s plan to happen. Their mistakes caused conflict and division in the family, yet God still remained faithful to His promises. The sermon emphasizes that God often works through broken and imperfect people, proving that no one is beyond His grace or purpose. It also contrasts living by human effort and law with living by faith and God’s grace, teaching that true fulfillment comes from trusting Him rather than relying on ourselves. Eventually, after twenty-five years of waiting, God miraculously gave them a son, Isaac, whose name means laughter, showing that God’s timing and provision are perfect. The story ultimately points to faith, surrender, and God’s provision through Jesus, encouraging believers to trust God with their future, families, and deepest struggles.
