The Forgotten Son

A message from the series “Family of Abraham: Blessed to be a blessing”, given by Pastor Scott Austin on Nov. 16, 2014.

“The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” is the common phrase we have all heard used for Yahweh, the God of Israel. Yet this phrase forgets Abraham’s first son: a son who received God’s blessing even after he received the spite of Abraham and the rest of his family. In this message, we remember Ishmael—and his mother Hagar.
