How many of you have heard that God has promised the Jewish people a Land, the Land of Israel, in perpetuity? We talked about this last time but a brief review might be helpful. It's in the Bible, in a covenant that God made with Abraham when he was still Abram:Genesis 15:18–21 NIV18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, “To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates—19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, 20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites.”Folks, this Land is not just a piece of real estate. It is part and parcel of a series of promises that God made to the Jewish people thousands of years ago. The fulfillment of these promises has not been completed yet. The final completion is yet future. But how is it that through a theological sleight of hand some Christians have tried to subvert or nullify these promises? It has happened through something called Covenant Theology. Covenant Theology is not Biblical. That does not mean that every Covenant Theologian who has ever lived was or is an antisemite; far from it. But Covenant Theology, because it is not Biblical, lays the groundwork for false teachings about the Jewish people and consequently for antisemitism and replacement theology and we are seeing this use of Covenant Theology more and more.What is Covenant Theology? It began after the Reformation, in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It is a teaching that says that the entire Bible, from right after The Fall of Man, comes under one Covenant, the Covenant of Grace. This Covenant of Grace, which is nowhere explicitly mentioned or taught in the Bible, subsumes or overarches all other Biblical Covenants that follow the Fall of Man. These are clearly mentioned in the Bible and include four unconditional covenants (the Abrahamic Covenant, the Promised Land Covenant, the Davidic Covenant, and the New Covenant) and one conditional covenant (the Mosaic Covenant). If you try to find a clear and easy to understand definition of the Covenant of Grace in the writings of Covenant Theologians I believe you will have great difficulty in doing so. That is because there is no Covenant of Grace in the Bible. The grace of God is in the Bible in abundance in both the Old and New Testaments but there is no Covenant of Grace. But because Covenant Theology is not Biblical, certain false doctrines based on Covenant Theology have come into being over the centuries. Let me give you one major example today. We'll start by looking at some New Testament Scriptures that talk about Abraham.Romans 4:11–12 NIV11 And he received circumcision as a sign, a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. So then, he is the father of all who believe but have not been circumcised, in order that righteousness might be credited to them. 12 And he is then also the father of the circumcised who not only are circumcised but who also follow in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.And:Galatians 3:7 NIV7 Understand, then, that those who have faith are children of Abraham.These New Testament verses are telling us that Abraham is the father of all who believe in Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus) whether they are circumcised or uncircumcised (in other words all those who are born again, whether Jew or Gentile). The Gentile believers are obviously spiritual and not physical children of Abraham.Because Covenant Theology teaches that there is one Covenant of Grace that runs from Genesis 3:15 to the end of Revelation 22, that allows Covenant Theologians to use Romans 4:11-12 to over-ride Genesis 15:18 and to make it read like this:Genesis 15:18 “18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, “To your descendants the Church I give this land, from the Wadi of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates—”That is what I would call theological slight of hand and I don't think the motivation for that is good. I believe that it comes straight from the Father of Lies, the Devil.Remember folks, the Bible does not contradict itself. If God made an unconditional covenant with Abraham, He is not going to nullify that later. In fact, listen to what the Apostle Paul says:Galatians 3:17 NIV17 What I mean is this: The law, introduced 430 years later, does not set aside the covenant previously established by God and thus do away with the promise.In other words the Mosaic Covenant does not make void the Abrahamic Covenant, nor does the Covenant of Grace because the Covenant of Grace does not exist. And Covenant Theology is bogus.Next time we'll talk about other distortions of the Scriptures that some Covenant Theologians attempt to create in an attempt to nullify God's promises to Israel.Thanks for listening folks.This is Art Wolinsky.

God's promises are trustworthy and unshakable. In this message, Pastor Lucas unpacks 2 Corinthians 1:20–22 (NLT) and shows how every promise finds its “Yes” in Christ. A promise is a bond of trust—God giving His word to His people—and He always fulfills what He has spoken. Often, we struggle to live in God's promises because we wrestle with the process. Yet, just as God had a plan for Abram (Genesis 11:27–30) and worked through history to bring us to the Messiah (Matthew 1:1; Galatians 3:26–29), His purpose is still unfolding today. God blesses us so that we can be a blessing to others, and He will never give a promise He cannot fulfill. Jesus is God's resounding “Yes” to us. The question is: are you living in the promises of God?

What was unique about this covenant with Abram?
We see God's faithfulness to Abram as a result of simple obedience
Have we tuned our ears to hear God's voice, or are we letting the noise drown Him out? What if He's already speaking to us? Join us as we learn to listen to the good Shepherd. EASY TO GIVE at Harmony, text any amount to (859) 459-0316 to get started (or give online @ my.harmonychurch.cc/give). Get the fill in the blank bulletins my.harmonychurch.cc/bulletins. OPENING ILLUSTRATION: So, I have a major problem. I've always played this joke on my kids that they will say something like, “Dad, we need to go soon” and I will pretend to mishear them and I'll say, “did you say we need a goat platoon?” They are always like, “Dad, that's not funny…” the problem is, now I'm starting to really not be able to hear them… Lol, I'm getting old! This isn't just an old person problem. The other day we were in our car on the way to school and one of my kids popped up from reading their book and said, “You need to do something about that hair.” I laughed and said, were you listening? I asked the question because we had just spent about 5 minutes talking about the hair and how I can look like a rooster at times! Lol, they hadn't heard a thing because they weren't listening… We all have times we don't listen so well, right? B But what happens when you don't listen to God? In this series, we are going to talk about “hearing from God” But I don't mean this in a generalized sense. I mean actually hearing the voice of God… ILLUSTRATION: Have you ever heard some one talk about “Hearing God” speak and thought, “that's a bunch of hocus pocus”? I think that a lot. I think LOTS of people misuse and abuse the notion of hearing from God. They use it to justify all kinds of junk… So, before we go too far into this short series, I want to do a few things today: First, I want to normalize hearing the voice of God. Hearing from God should be a normal part of the Christian experience and show you how even if you don't think this is your experience, it might be. b Second, I want to give us some VITAL guardrails. I want to protect us from weaponizing a part of what should be a normal piece of the Christian experience. 1. Is hearing from God normal or signs of a mental condition? :) Lol, come on, you know that's what some of you are thinking “hearing voices in your head Kent?” That's crazy… But you do know this appears to be the normal experience of people in the scripture, don't you? [Put up as one slide so I can move through fairly fast] Abraham (Call of Abram: Genesis 12:1-3, Covenant with God: Genesis 15:1-6, Pleading for Sodom: Genesis 18:22-33) Moses (Burning Bush: Exodus 3:1-6, Mount Sinai: Exodus 19-20, Tent of Meeting: Exodus 33:11) Jesus (Baptism: Matthew 3:17, Transfiguration: Luke 9:28-36, Prayer in Gethsemane: Matthew 26:36-44) Paul (Road to Damascus: Acts 9:3-6, Thorn in the Flesh: 2 Corinthians 12:7-9, Prayer in Prison: Acts 16:25) Not to mention Old Testament: Adam & Eve, Noah, Hagar, Jacob, Joseph, Samuel, Job, Gideon, Manor & his wife (parents of Samson), Solomon, all the prophets, Balaam (a false prophet) New Testament: Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, Shepherds, The apostles, Stephen, Ananias, Cornelius, John the Baptist God seems to love to engage with His people… Listen to how Jesus says this: John 10:1-5, 14-16 “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. 2 The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. 5 But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger's voice.” 14 “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— 15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. ILLUSTRATION: There is a funny video on Youtube (youtube.com/watch?v=e45dVgWgV64) of this person trying to call this shepherds sheep over to them. They call with the same words he uses to call them. The sheep just ignore the person, but when the shepherd steps up and calls the sheep, all of the sudden their heads look up, they see him, and when they do, they come running to him. Jesus says, “I am the good shepherd” and that his sheep follow Him because they KNOW His voice! b But Kent, I've never heard a voice, I don't have visions or talk to really hot shrubbery, does that mean I'm not one of His sheep? Can I take the pressure off of you? There is a group out there of Christians that make everyone else feel like they don't hear from God - they say things like “The Lord told me I was supposed to buy this thing or do that thing” and they make it sound like God us up there as their personal administrative assistant telling them when to do everything… [reveal the below one line at a time] But I'll bet, if you say you've never heard God's voice that you have: Have you ever read something in the scripture and been moved by a thought that came over you? Have you ever been in a worship service and felt moved? Have you ever heard a sermon and felt like you were supposed to do something? b That's the voice of God ILLUSTRATION: for me, I always know it's the voice of God when it's something that Kent, in his Kentness wouldn't naturally do or think. I've felt like I was supposed to call someone and encourage them, that's not me. I one time was telling God I love Him and I felt like I heard Him say back, “I love you too” I just started weeping. I've felt like I was supposed to buy someone gas - that's not me, I'm more inclined to drive right by that person. I have a buddy who said he was thanking God for all the blessings he has and he heard God say, “what are you going to do with it?” For me, God's voice is not loud, it's not shouting at me, it's just quietly leading me like a shepherd. “hey, don't go over there…” or “hey, there's some really good grass over here…” Can I give you some Guardrails as we talk about this subject? Because I've seen, particularly spiritual leaders, abuse people with this… Guardrails to consider when learning to listen to God… If God has already spoken in the scripture about your situation - you don't need anything more (If you are waiting to hear God on whether to stay with your spouse or leave them for your mistress - God has already spoken on that…) Be humble and test the spirits (Not every idea/thing that comes into your mind is from God or even you. Test what you are hearing against seasoned followers of Jesus and against the word of God) God does not tend to operate in either-or situations (Giving God the options of “God it's either this or it's that” - if you're truly inviting God to speak in your life, let Him speak what He wants to say, not your pre-populated answers) NEVER use what you believe God spoke to you as a means to beat others into submission - if God spoke it to you, He is more than capable of speaking it to them as well… ILLUSTRATION: Early on in ministry, I told a church that I felt God had told me we were supposed to move our congregation to a different building. I don't want to go into the specifics, but I felt like God convicted me, because in reality, I felt like we should make the move, but God had not directed me to do it. I confused my ego with God's direction and in the process, manipulated the sheep as though my words were from the shepherd. CLOSING ILLUSTRATION: Jesus is the good shepherd, and he laid down His life for you. My prayer as I was writing this sermon was not that people would learn a lot about listening to God, but that they would actually tune their ears to the God who is speaking to them. I have learned that as I age and my hearing actually gets worse, I have to lean in a little and actually listen to what people say. I have to really focus on it and when I do, I can understand them. What would it look like for you to tune your ears and your heart to God? One of the ways to do that is to lean into God, we are about to sing this song and I want to invite you to come up to the alter and lean into God. Pray and just tell Him, Jesus, if you want to speak, I'm listening. don't put any pressure on it, if you don't hear anything, that's alright. But what if you do? What if when you say, “I love you” He says, “I love you too!” Back. He has already said this to you! Come and give your life to Jesus!

a) Abram Believes God's Promise (Genesis 15:1-6)b) God Makes a Covenant with Abram (Genesis 15:7-21)c) God Requires a Covenant Sign (Genesis 17:1-14)d) God Promises a Son to Abraham (Genesis 17:15-27)e) Abraham Entertains Three Visitors (Genesis 18:1-15)
Genesis 15 is a pivotal chapter in the Bible, as it highlights the deepening relationship between God and Abram (later called Abraham). This chapter is known for its covenantal significance, where God reassures Abram of His promises through a formal covenant, emphasizing faith and divine promise. God's Promise to Abram (Genesis 15:1-6) The chapter begins with God speaking to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward.” (Genesis 15:1). Abram, despite having received promises from God earlier, expresses concern about his lack of an heir. He points out that since he is childless, his servant, Eliezer of Damascus, is poised to inherit his estate. God reassures Abram, telling him that Eliezer will not be his heir; instead, Abram will have a son of his own. God then takes Abram outside and instructs him to look at the stars in the sky, saying, “Look up at the sky and count the stars—if indeed you can count them. So shall your offspring be.” (Genesis 15:5). This profound moment underscores God's promise that Abram's descendants will be numerous, even though at the time, Abram had no children. In response, “Abram believed the Lord, and He credited it to him as righteousness” (Genesis 15:6). This verse is significant because it emphasizes that Abram's faith—his trust in God's promise—was counted as righteousness. Abram's belief is a foundational example of faith, which later becomes a central theme in Christian theology (especially in the New Testament, where Paul refers to it in Romans 4). The Covenant (Genesis 15:7-21) Following Abram's expression of faith, God reaffirms His promise of land. He reminds Abram that He brought him out of Ur of the Chaldeans to give him the land he is now in. Abram asks, “Sovereign Lord, how can I know that I will gain possession of it?” (Genesis 15:8). In response, God instructs Abram to prepare a covenantal sacrifice, which was a common ancient Near Eastern practice to formalize agreements. Abram brings a heifer, a goat, and a ram, each three years old, along with a dove and a young pigeon. He cuts the animals in half and arranges the halves opposite each other, but leaves the birds whole. As the sun sets, Abram falls into a deep sleep, and a “thick and dreadful darkness” comes over him. In this darkness, God speaks to Abram and reveals what will happen to his descendants. God tells Abram that his offspring will be strangers in a foreign land (which later refers to the Israelites in Egypt), where they will be enslaved and mistreated for 400 years. However, God promises that He will bring judgment on that nation and deliver Abram's descendants with great possessions (Genesis 15:13-14). God also assures Abram that he will live to a ripe old age and die in peace. The covenant culminates in a powerful scene: “When the sun had set and darkness had fallen, a smoking firepot with a blazing torch appeared and passed between the pieces” (Genesis 15:17). This is symbolic of God Himself, represented by the firepot and torch, walking between the sacrificed animals, thereby formally sealing the covenant. God concludes by reaffirming His promise to Abram, specifying the land that will belong to his descendants: from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates. This land encompasses the territories of several peoples, including the Kenites, Hittites, Amorites, and others (Genesis 15:18-21). Key Themes in Genesis 15 1.Faith and Righteousness: The key theme in Genesis 15 is the centrality of faith. Abram's belief in God's promise, despite having no immediate evidence of its fulfillment, is counted as righteousness. This concept—righteousness through faith—later becomes foundational in Christian teaching, particularly in the writings of Paul. 2.God's Covenant: This chapter introduces the covenant-making process between God and Abram. The use of animal sacrifices and the dramatic image of the smoking firepot and blazing torch passing through the pieces signify the seriousness and binding nature of God's promises. The covenant is a guarantee of God's commitment to fulfill His promises of descendants and land. 3.Divine Timing: God reveals to Abram that his descendants will experience hardship and enslavement, but He also promises deliverance and blessings. This underscores the idea that God's promises unfold over time, often in ways that transcend immediate circumstances. Abram had to trust in a future that he would not fully witness during his lifetime. 4.God's Sovereignty: Throughout this chapter, God's control over the future and His knowledge of events yet to come is evident. He reveals the future of Abram's descendants with precise detail, showing that history is within His divine plan. 5.Abram's Legacy: Genesis 15 highlights the lasting legacy that Abram will leave, not only in terms of physical descendants but also in terms of spiritual inheritance. The promise of land and numerous descendants marks Abram as the father of a great nation, a role that reverberates through the rest of the Bible. Conclusion Genesis 15 is a profound chapter that solidifies God's covenant with Abram, based on Abram's faith in God's promises. This chapter serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of faith, the certainty of God's promises, and the unfolding of divine plans in history. Abram's willingness to believe and trust in God, despite immediate obstacles, makes him a model of faith for generations to come. The covenant in Genesis 15 not only guarantees the future of Abram's descendants but also sets the stage for the unfolding of God's redemptive plan throughout the Bible.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sendme-radio--732966/support.
Speaker: Pastor Tim Yorgey Sermon Date: 10/13/2024 Sermon Series: Genesis Sermon Notes Listen in as we return to the book of Genesis. We look at Genesis 15:1-12. Here God reminds Abram of the promise of a son as well as God establishes a covenant with Abram. Join us as we study this passage.
Hebrews 6:13-20 - Faith “central to the plot and storyline of Scripture are a series of covenants between God and his creation, especially with humans as deputies and stewards of his world.” - Peter J. Gentry 5 “Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them.” Then he said to him, “So shall your offspring be.” 6 And he believed the Lord, and he counted it to him as righteousness.” Genesis 15:5&6 “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.” 10 And he brought him all these, cut them in half, and laid each half over against the other. But he did not cut the birds in half. 11 And when birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away. 12 As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell on Abram. And behold, dreadful and great darkness fell upon him. 13 Then the Lord said to Abram, “Know for certain that your offspring will be sojourners in a land that is not theirs and will be servants there, and they will be afflicted for four hundred years. 14 But I will bring judgment on the nation that they serve, and afterward they shall come out with great possessions. 15 As for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried in a good old age. 16 And they shall come back here in the fourth generation, for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.”17 When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. 18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram… Genesis 15:9-18 “Picturing God passing through that gory path between the carcasses of animals, imagining the blood splashing as he walked, helps us to recognize the faithfulness of God's commitment. He was willing to express, in terms his chosen people could understand, that he would never fail to do what he promised. And he ultimately fulfilled his promise by giving his own life, his own blood, on the cross. Because we look at God's dealings with Abraham as some remote piece of history in a far-off-land, we often fail to realize that we, too, are part of a long line of people with whom God made a covenant on that rocky plain near Hebron. And like those who came before us, we have broken that covenant. When he walked in the dust of the desert and through the blood of the animals Abraham had slaughtered, God was making a promise to all the descendants of Abraham—to everyone in the household of faith. When God splashed through the the blood, he did it for us. We're not simply individuals in relationship to God, we're part of a long line of people marching back through history, from our famous Jewish ancestor David, Hezekiah, and Peter to the millions of unknown believers; from the ancient Israelites and the Jewish people of Jesus' day to the Christian community dating from the early church. We're part of a community of people with whom God established relationship in the dust and sand of the Negev. But there's more. When God made covenant with his people, he did something no human being would even have considered doing. In the usual blood covenant, each party was responsible for keeping only his side of the promise. When God made covenant with Abraham, however, he promised to keep both sides of the agreement. “If this covenant is broken, Abraham, for whatever reason—for My faithfulness or yours—I will pay the price,” said God. “If you or your descendants, for whom you are making this covenant, fail to keep it, I will pay the price in blood.” And at that moment, Almighty God pronounced the death sentence on his Son Jesus.” - Ray Vänder Laan “What he's going to say, more fully, in the passages to come is that Jesus has gone in, not into the earthly Temple in Jerusalem, but into the true sanctuary, the world of heaven itself, right into the innermost courts and into the very presence of the loving father. And he has gone there on our behalf. We are attached to him as though by a great metal cable. He is there, in the very presence of God, like an anchor.” — N.T. Wright 15 As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; 16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. 17 But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children's children, 18 to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments. 19 The Lord has established his throne in the heavens, and his kingdom rules over all. Psalm 103:15-19

Speaker: Pastor Tim Yorgey Sermon Date: 4/7/2024 Sermon Series: Genesis Sermon Notes Listen in as we look at Genesis 12:1-3. In this passage Moses moves from dealing with sin's universal affect to the affect upon a single family. God will promise that through this family will come blessings to all the nations. Join us as we look again at the unfolding redemptive plan of God.
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on God's covenant with Abram (Genesis 12, 15, and 17). Abram believes God, and that faith—instead of any goodness of his own—is credited to Abram as righteousness.

“The Call of Abram” – “A word to the church” – God Speaks to Abram: Genesis 12:1-3 The LORD had said to Abram, "Leave your country, your people and your father's household and go to the land I will show you. "I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." - Everlasting Covenant: * Gen 12:2 Make a great nation out of Abram. * Gen 12:3 They will be a great blessing. * Gen 12:7 "To your offspring I will give this land." - Those who bless Israel will be blessed: * Pray for Israel * Understand the situation in Israel * Pray for Peace for Israel - Only God can fix what is going on right now.
In 1917, Antisemitism spread like a fire after the Bolshevik Revolution which caused Jews to flee Russia for their lives. Waves of Jews returned to the Promised Land, the land that God promised Abram (Genesis 15). How did the Arabs living in what was then called Palestine respond to the arrival of Jews from Russia and other parts of the world? Recently, Pastor Rich Jones taught about “The History of the Modern Palestinian Problem” at Calvary Chapel Worship Center (https://www.calvaryhillsboro.org/) in Hillsboro, Oregon, where he serves as the Senior Pastor. During this portion of Pastor Rich's teaching, he explains why the Arabs became deeply concerned by the arrival of Jews who sought to make Palestine their home once again.

We now begin the story of Abram. His family's story comprises the remainder of the book of Genesis. What we have covered up to now has set the stage for the family of Abraham, the Hebrew people. Already we find God making him a promise and not changing that, even when he is unable to trust in God's protection and lies about his relationship with Sarai. Yet God remain faithful.
In this sermon, pastor Dylan Dodson preaches from Genesis 11:27-12:20 as we look at God's call on Abram and who God is faithful towards.
God's Covenant with Abram - Genesis 15
What was God's promise to Abram? Who was / is Abram's lineage to bless? Did Abram fail?
How did we get so many different languages? Did humanity learn their lesson after the Flood? Who is Abram?
God establishes his covenant with Abram, which is unilateral and a picture of the new covenant in Christ's blood. Pastor Pilgrim Benham teaches Genesis 15:7-21 at Shoreline Church.
