Discussion Questions for Sermon on Genesis 21

QUESTIONS FOR DISCUSSION AT HOME OR IN GOSPEL COMMUNITY GROUPS

  • What does the name “Isaac” mean?
  • Compare and contrast the laughing of Sarah with the laughing of Ishmael. What does this reveal concerning their attitude towards the promises of God?
  • Discuss how the sorrow of sending Ishamel away was the natural consequence of Abraham’s sin. How might the Lord use the consequences of our sin to refine us. When we suffer under the consequences of our sins does this mean that God is angry with us?
  • Where do we see evidence of God’s mercy in this passage? How has God been merciful to you in the midst of pain and suffering (of any kind, but even pain caused by your own sin)?
