070 CJC WBS - Genesis 21:8-21 - Hagar and Ishmael are Sent Away

"The Son of the Free Woman." That's the title of today's episode, which has Genesis 21:8-21 as its main text. In today's study, we look at how God instructed Abraham to do something extremely difficult, and how he had to choose whether or not to trust God. The challenge is the same for us each day. And we also consider Paul's use of this passage and how he likens Isaac's status as the "son of promise" as a foreshadow of our relationship with God.
