Rev. Karen E. Gale preaching
"On to the Next Generation"
Genesis 24-25
As we continue in Genesis, big changes have happened in Abraham and Sarah's family. Sarah dies. Isaac is gone. Abraham is getting really old and needs to fulfill his paternal responsibility to acquire a wife for Isaac. For a man who is to have descendants like the stars and be a blessing to the nations, we find Abraham arguing with his Hittite neighbors and seeking a wife for his second estranged son Isaac, a child he will never see again. Again, these are our heralded ancestors in faith? Where is God, especially since Abraham does not speak to God ever again? What is passed on to the next generation: trauma or promise or both?
