Genesis 21:8-21 | Brothers at the Tomb: Rethinking Isaac and Ishmael

We assume Isaac and Ishmael's descendants have always been enemies — but Genesis tells a different story. In this message, we trace the story of Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, and their two sons to discover a God who blesses the outsider as lavishly as the insider, and what that means for how we see our divided world today.
