Description
Genesis 16 — When Faith Fails
A Complete Bible Study Teaching Package
Genesis 16 records one of the most pivotal moments in Abraham’s life — a lapse of faith that produces lasting consequences. This lesson carefully walks through the birth of Ishmael, the tension between promise and impatience, and the revelation of God as El-roi — the God who sees.
