Sermon Discussion questions
Laughing at the oaks of mamre: Genesis 18:1-15

Ice Breaker: When have you laughed at the wrong time?

This Week Specific

1. Reflecting on God's Promise: In Genesis 18, Sarah doubted God’s promise of a son. What promises of God are you currently struggling to believe, either in your family, at work, or in other areas of life? How does knowing God cares most about your faith help?

2. Believing in God's Power: The sermon emphasized the question, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?”

   Two parts-

   1. Think about a time when you faced a seemingly impossible situation. How did you respond?

   2. What is a situation in your life right now that feels impossible? How can you trust God with this area, and how might you need to adjust your prayers to reflect belief in His power?

3. Hospitality in Everyday Life: Abraham showed generous hospitality to his visitors. What are practical ways we can invite others into our life to reflect Christ’s love? Choose one specific action you can take this week.

4. Applying Childlike Faith: The sermon mentioned that growing in faith sometimes means returning to simple truths we learned as children. In what areas of your life—such as your work, home, or studies—do you need to recapture a sense of awe and trust in God’s power?

5. Practicing Bold Prayer: Brian encouraged us not to shy away from bold prayers, even for seemingly impossible situations. What bold prayer do you need to begin praying—whether for a family member, a co-worker, your church, or your own spiritual growth?

6. Overcoming Cynicism: Like Sarah’s laughter, we can sometimes laugh at God’s promises because they seem too good to be true. How does cynicism show up in your daily life, and how can you intentionally replace it with faith, particularly in challenging environments like work or school?
