14: God’s Promises Are Always True and Never Late – Genesis 16 Part 1
SHOW NOTES
Have you ever had to wait for God’s promise to happen? Maybe you’re still waiting. That space of waiting can try our faith and send us into the depths of despair or maybe “I’ll help God” action mode. Our episode today begins a new series from Genesis 16 that reminds us to trust that God will keep His promises.
