This sermon from Stranraer Reformed Presbyterian Church explores the profound question, 'Is anything too hard for the Lord?' rooted in Genesis 18:14 and echoed in Luke 1:37. The speaker reflects on personal doubt and the universal human tendency to question God’s power and goodness, especially in the face of suffering, spiritual stagnation, or seemingly impossible situations. Drawing from Abraham and Sarah’s story—where God promises a child in their old age—the sermon emphasizes that God’s promises are not bound by human limitations. The visitation of the Lord to Abraham, revealed as a theophany of Christ Himself, illustrates God’s intimate friendship with humanity, a relationship that transcends distance and judgment. The sermon challenges listeners to reorient their faith from relying on natural means to trusting in God’s supernatural power, especially in areas like spiritual revival, broken relationships, national decline, and personal sin. It culminates in a call to remember the cross—the ultimate demonstration of God’s power to forgive and redeem—as the definitive answer to the question of impossibility.
God’s promises are not limited by human impossibility; He can fulfill what seems beyond reach.
The cross is the ultimate proof that nothing is too hard for God—He sacrificed His Son to forgive sin.
Christianity is not about duty but about intimate friendship with God, who invites us to pour out our hearts.
We should evaluate our lives, churches, and hopes not by what is natural or possible, but by what God has promised.
When facing despair, we should recall God’s promises and let them reframe our perception of impossibility.

Satan's Temptation and the Core of Doubt
