Grace in the Midst of Failure | Dr. Stephen Conley

Text:  Genesis 20:1-18   Abraham's Besetting Sin (Gen. 20:1-2) At the crossroads of faith and unbelief, Abram responds in unbelief, just as he did before in Genesis 12:10-20.   God's Sovereign Intervention (Gen. 20:3-7) Abraham's sin seemingly put God's covenant in jeopardy. God shows Himself to be sovereign over all things as He restrains Abimelech and protects Sarah.   Abimelech's Strong Confrontation (Gen. 20:8-13) Abimelech confronts Abraham's lying and deceptive behavior. Abraham is caught in his sin, proving that he had misjudged Abimelech and did not trust in the Lord.   God's Gracious Providence (Gen. 20:14-18) God displays His grace and providence by bringing healing to Abimelech and blessing to Abraham.
