Charles E. Cowman preaches on the unwavering faith of Abraham, who believed in God's promises despite seemingly hopeless circumstances. He encourages believers to trust in the multitude of promises in the Word of God and the examples of faithful believers before them. Cowman emphasizes the importance of relying on God's Word even when help seems delayed and situations worsen, reminding that God often steps in to save us in our greatest extremity to reveal His power and faithfulness.

In this sermon, the preacher delves into the meaning of 'insult' (oneidizo) in the Bible, which involves abusive words, slander, reviling, and unjustly finding fault in a way that demeans others. The message highlights how enemies reviled God, Israel, and the righteous in the Psalms, and how Jesus reproached cities and His disciples. The sermon emphasizes that Christians may face insults and ridicule for their faith, but they are blessed when reviled for the name of Christ. The preacher also explores the serious consequences of verbal abuse in Jewish culture and how insults were viewed as extremely harmful.
