Morning: When Faith is Tested

This week’s message from Genesis 16 explores what it means to wait on God’s promises—even when the waiting feels endless. Sam Gardner unpacks the story of Abraham, Sarah, and Hagar, showing how time can test faith and how easily we can take matters into our own hands when hope seems distant.Yet even when we give up on God, He never gives up on us. Through Hagar’s encounter with “the God who sees,” we discover the unchanging truth that God meets us in our pain, restores what is broken, and remains faithful to every promise He has made.This sermon invites us to reflect on where we might be weary in waiting, to recognise the warning signs of giving up on God, and to find fresh hope in the God who still sees, hears, and redeems.
