After The Sermon | Finding God's Perfect Match | Kara Hillhouse
In this week's After The Sermon conversation, we discuss the sermon that asked "Is this the most romantic love story ever told?" In Genesis 24:34-38, 42-49, 58-67, the story unfolds as Abraham sends his servant on a mission to find a wife for his son, Isaac. The servant seeks God's guidance and encounters Rebekah at a well. Recognizing her as the chosen one, the servant shares the news with Rebekah's family, and they agree to the marriage. Rebekah willingly leaves her family and marries Isaac, bringing love and hope into their lives.
