Ep. 164 “Come Follow Me” for Teens - The Old Testament Genesis 18-23 “Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord”
“Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord”
Is Anything Too Hard for the Lord?
In this episode of Come Follow Me for Teens, we explore Genesis 18-23 and some of the most powerful and faith-stretching moments in the lives of Abraham and Sarah. From long-awaited promises to unthinkable commands, these chapters reveal a central question the Lord asks: “Is anything too hard for the Lord?”
Abraham and Sarah were promised a son in their old age. They were asked to trust when fulfillment seemed impossible. And once Isaac was born, Abraham was commanded to sacrifice the very son through whom God had promised to fulfill His covenant. These experiences teach that faith is not proven when life is easy—but when obedience requires courage, patience, and sacrifice.
In this episode, we discuss what it means to be proven by God, why delayed blessings do not mean forgotten promises, how fleeing wickedness protects future blessings, and how trusting the Lord—especially when things don’t make sense—strengthens and refines us.
Teens will learn that in proving us, God is also improving us. When we choose to trust Him, even in difficult moments, He shapes us into who we are meant to become.
This study and teaching guide is designed to help parents and leaders walk teens through Genesis 18–23, exploring the powerful question the Lord asked Abraham and Sarah: “Is anything too hard for the Lord?”
