See the exceeding greatness of god's favor. this is where sarah in the
00:05:20.376 --> 00:05:21.511
God's favor. this is where sarah in the scripture almost missed it.
00:05:21.577 --> 00:05:24.013
This is where sarah in the scripture almost missed it. god gave her a promise that she
00:05:24.080 --> 00:05:25.415
Scripture almost missed it. god gave her a promise that she would have a baby but she was
00:05:25.481 --> 00:05:27.216
God gave her a promise that she would have a baby but she was well beyond the childbearing
00:05:27.283 --> 00:05:29.152
Would have a baby but she was well beyond the childbearing years. she thought the promise
00:05:29.218 --> 00:05:31.587
Well beyond the childbearing years. she thought the promise would come through somebody
00:05:31.654 --> 00:05:33.122
Years. she thought the promise would come through somebody else. that made more sense.
00:05:33.189 --> 00:05:34.891
Would come through somebody else. that made more sense. she was too old. so she got her
00:05:34.957 --> 00:05:36.993
Else. that made more sense. she was too old. so she got her husband, abraham, together with
00:05:37.059 --> 00:05:39.595
She was too old. so she got her husband, abraham, together with a young maid and they had a
00:05:39.662 --> 00:05:41.297
Husband, abraham, together with a young maid and they had a baby. sarah said, "thank you,
00:05:41.364 --> 00:05:43.499
A young maid and they had a baby. sarah said, "thank you, lord. the promise came to
00:05:43.566 --> 00:05:44.600
Baby. sarah said, "thank you, lord. the promise came to pass."
00:05:44.667 --> 00:05:46.369
Lord. the promise came to pass." but god said, "no, sarah.
00:05:46.436 --> 00:05:47.403
Pass." but god said, "no, sarah. i didn't put the promise in
00:05:47.470 --> 00:05:48.971
But god said, "no, sarah. i didn't put the promise in them. i put the promise in you.
00:05:49.038 --> 00:05:52.074
I didn't put the promise in them. i put the promise in you. you have hidden treasure that is
00:05:52.141 --> 00:05:53.609
Them. i put the promise in you. you have hidden treasure that is still buried in your womb."
00:05:53.676 --> 00:05:56.312
You have hidden treasure that is still buried in your womb." but as long as sarah thought,
00:05:56.379 --> 00:05:58.014
Still buried in your womb." but as long as sarah thought, "i'm too old. i'm at a
00:05:58.080 --> 00:05:59.015
But as long as sarah thought, "i'm too old. i'm at a disadvantage. i don't look like

"i'm too old. i'm at a disadvantage. i don't look like these younger women,"
00:06:00.683 --> 00:06:02.919
Disadvantage. i don't look like these younger women," she was talking herself out of

These younger women," she was talking herself out of what god wanted to do. how many
00:06:04.454 --> 00:06:06.522
She was talking herself out of what god wanted to do. how many times do we do the same thing?
00:06:06.589 --> 00:06:09.559
What god wanted to do. how many times do we do the same thing? "i could never be in

Times do we do the same thing? "i could never be in management."
00:06:10.793 --> 00:06:11.828

Management." "i could never write that book." "i could never build that

Too old. it may look impossible but our god can do the impossible.
00:08:10.780 --> 00:08:12.281
But our god can do the impossible. it's interesting, when sarah
00:08:12.348 --> 00:08:13.616
Impossible. it's interesting, when sarah first heard the news that she
00:08:13.683 --> 00:08:14.917
