Sunday Morning Series - Is Faith Past, Present, or future? - Things That Don't Exist

Text:  Romans 4:16-22, II Kings 3:1-27

Our present situation may seem like it's never going to change, and if it does, it will be worse. The truth is it's temporary. With the Lord, our future hope is assured.

Abraham trusted God with His past, present, and future:

1.  The past - He and Sarah couldn't have children when they were young.

2.  The present - They were both old now, and it seemed impossible.

3.  The future - God promised Abraham that his descendants via Sarah would be like the sand of the sea and the stars in the sky. God even changed his name from Abram to Abraham. Every time he said his name, he was proclaiming he was the father of many nations.

Abraham and Sarah tried to help God, which resulted in Ishmael's birth by her handmaid, Hagar. God made him a great nation, but he was not the promised son by Sarah, the free woman.

Another example of a present situation being temporary is found in 2 Kings 3:13-27. Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, made some unfortunate alliances.
