Genesis: Promise-Keeper

God’s covenant promise comes true as Abraham and his wife Sarah joyously conceive their only child Isaac. Their joy quickly turns to distress though, as Abraham’s young teenage son Ishmael from his servant Hagar, who was conceived in trying to circumvent God’s covenant, begins harshly ridiculing Isaac. As a result, Abraham is forced to send away Hagar and Ishmael into the wilderness trusting God’s promises to care for them, to which God miraculously does as He shows how He is the ultimate promise-keeper!
