"Father Abraham had many sons. Many sons had Father Abraham." This old song actually contains timeless truth. Why is Abraham our father? In Genesis 17, we learn that we are a part of God's eternal covenant given to Abraham.

In Genesis chapter 17, Abram becomes Abraham and is reminded of God's promises. Within this covenant, the assurance lies with the one who instituted it- God almighty. God's faithfulness always supersedes our faithlessness. We hope this sermon blesses you in the Lord. Originally March 23rd, 2025. Brandon Towe. Covenant Church. Tuscaloosa, AL.

Summary: When Abram was 99 God appeared to him telling him I am “God Almighty” (Heb. El Shaddai). Shaddai comes from an old word meaning “mountain” and refers to His mighty power that is high and unshakable. And, if Abram wanted to know God's power, he had to walk, that is live, close to the Lord. So too the passage before us speaks the same unto us. How can we do it? Join us for Genesis 17 to for the “how to”.

Passage: 1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, “I am God Almighty; walk before me, and be blameless, 2 that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you greatly.” 3 Then Abram fell on his face. And God said to him, 4 “Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations. 5 No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham, for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. 6 I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make you into nations, and kings shall come from you. 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you. 8 And I will give to you and to your offspring after you the land of your sojournings, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God.” 9 And God said to Abraham, “As for you, you shall keep my covenant, you and your offspring after you throughout their generations. 10 This is my covenant, which you shall keep, between me and you and your offspring after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised. 11 You shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskins, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and you. 12 He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised. Every male throughout your generations, whether born in your house or bought with your money from any foreigner who is not of your offspring, 13 both he who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money shall surely be circumcised. So shall my covenant be in your flesh an everlasting covenant. 14 Any uncircumcised male who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin shall be cut off from his people; he has broken my covenant.” (Genesis 17:1-14 ESV) Song: The Blessing (https://open.spotify.com/track/3b3r4F5ynaUxn3TpMd4F9e?si=fc67dbad0f4c4bf4) by Chris Brown, Cody Carnes, Kari Jobe, and Steven Furtick Lyrics: The Lord bless you And keep you Make his face shine upon you And be gracious to you The Lord turn his Face toward you And give you peace Chorus Amen Amen Amen May his favor Be upon you And a thousand generations And your family And your children And their children And their children May his presence Go before you And behind you And beside you All around you And within you He is with you He is with you In the morning In the evening In your coming And your going In your weeping And rejoicing He is for you He is for you He is for you He is for you Prayer: With what shall we come before you, O Lord? Or bow ourselves in your presence, O you Most High God?

In him, we desire to be found; through him, we hope for favor with you, and acceptance in your sight. Blessed be your goodness for the mercies of the day, for the blessings of your providence, the comforts of your Spirit, and the privileges we enjoy. Amen. -Augustus Toplady

Circumcision is an uncomfortable Bible topic that we truly need to know and understand...perhaps not the specifics but we do need to understand the profound reason for it. When we don't understand the spiritual principles that are interwoven into this ancient ritual, we'll miss how it truly demonstrates a parent's faith in God's covenant, even as they gave their son a constant reminder to be in covenant with God himself. Join us! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Read through Genesis 17 and circle every occurrence of the word “you.” What does this tell us about whose faith is being demonstrated in this chapter? 2. Read through Genesis 17 and underline the verses that you think are the keys to this chapter. Why do you think those verses are central to understanding this chapter? 3. When the Lord called Abram to be blameless in Genesis 17:1, what did that mean? What would Abraham's blamelessness indicate about his faith? 4. What is the significance of the fact the Lord said Abram would be the “father of a multitude of nations” in verse 4? 5. What did God change Abram's name to in verse 5? Why did He make this change? What did Abram's new name mean? What did this new name teach him about his role in this world? 6. Regarding circumcision, according to the study, originally who was supposed to circumcise the baby boy? What did the act of circumcision show about the father's faith? 7. What does circumcision mean for the baby who is being circumcised? Did that boy still have to enter into covenant with the Lord? How? 8. What did the study suggest for why females were not circumcised? Do you agree? Why or why not? 9. According to verse 14, if a man refused to circumcise his son, or if a man refused to be circumcised himself, what happened to his covenant with God? 10. How did Abraham respond to this instruction? What did his response indicate about his covenant with the Lord? 11. What do you think the conversation would have been like as Abraham told his family and male servants about God's command to circumcise all the males in the home? 12. What is the true circumcision we are still to undergo today? Have you undergone this spiritual “circumcision of the heart”? If so, what does it look like in your life?

When Abraham was 99 years old an angel representing the Almighty visited Abram and Sarai and gave the covenant of circumcision and told them that their names were to be changed. Abram's name was changed to Abraham; and Sarai's to Sarah. Abram meant "lofty father" and Abraham was "father of a multitude" - emblematic of the promise of Genesis 12:3; ie of all nations in the world. The divine name of Yahweh is 4 letters in the Hebrew YHWH (called the Tetragrammaton). So both Abraham and Sarah become "heirs together in the grace of life" (1 Peter 2:7); by the addition of the 5th letter in the Hebrew alphabet, signifying "grace". It was when human worth and generative capability was repudiated that God could now work through Abraham and Sarah to produce the "promised seed"; the heir of the promises. The chapter concludes with the circumcision of Abraham and every male in his household. Abraham was, as we said, 99 and Ishmael 13 (the age at which Islamic boys are circumcised). Chapter 18 says Abraham and Sarah were visited by 3 men, who are in fact angels - unbeknown to Abraham and Sarah (prompting Paul's comments in Hebrews 13:2). Eastern hospitality was shown and the angels prophesy Isaac's birth which means "laughter". He was so named because Sarah initially refused belief; but, later in faith tells us that she conceived when she believed - Hebrews 11:11. After this Abraham walked with the angels towards the place of impending judgment - Sodom. They tell Abraham of their intentions, because of Abraham's faithfulness - slowly read aloud the words of verses 17-19; and pause and ponder. How wonderful that the LORD so knows each us. But has he foreseen diligence and faithfulness in our dealings with our families? Abraham enters into negotiations with the name bearing angel to spare Sodom, where his nephew Lot and his family lived. Abraham finally stopped pleading for the city to be spared should there be 10 righteous people in the city. He must have been confident of this given the vast numbers of Lot's "ecclesia" in Genesis 13.Psalm 19 is a magnificent example of Hebrew poetry; which speaks of the wonders of the Almighty's creative hand evident in the stars; and our sun in particular. Hayden's Creation Hymn draws thoughts from this Psalm - "the unwearied sun from day to day doth His Creator's power display ...". Surely when we gaze upon the night sky, as Abram was asked to do in Genesis 15, we are caused to wonder at the awesome power on display (Genesis 1 says he just scattered the stars from His hand). On day 4 the sun was appointed to rule the day - emblematic of the sun of righteousness (Malachi 4; Matthew 13:43). Verse 3 tells us that the universal message is that there must be an Omnipotent Creator (Romans 1:20); and they = Sun, moon and star - symbolically proclaim the gospel message (Romans10:18). In the Psalm David says, that the sun is like a strong man running a race; it is also like a bridegroom - the Lord Jesus Christ (John 3). The Psalm finishes by exhorting the reader to contemplate the sweetness and preciousness of God's Word; and its saving power.Psalm 20 continues the theme of trusting in Yahweh's saving strength. This might is in no horse; no battle weapon; no man. But it has been consistently and dependably exercised by God in the cause of delivering the faithful.Psalm 21 is a Messianic Psalm in which the LORD's strength and salvation is evident in his chosen king - the Lord Jesus Christ. There is no salvation in any other name (Acts 4:12). read more here.. https://christadelphianvideo.org/thoughts-on-the-bible-readings-for-january-9th-genesis-17-18-psalms-19-20-21-matthew-11/ Penned by Warwick Rosser and his team and produced by Christa delphian video .org
Theme From Sunday's Sermon: Praying for Blessing Topic: Blessing and Obedience On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Jay Rivenbark, and Alyssa Bream discuss the following questions: I know we practice circumcision in our country for health reasons, but it is difficult for us to relate to circumcision as a “sign”. Why did God choose this as a sign of His covenant with Abraham and Israel? Okay, but how does circumcision connect to the covenant? They don't seem related. What are some things God requires of His people that are not necessarily “logical"? What are some things God has required you to do that were perhaps difficult to obey? Talk about a time in your life when you were obedient to a challenging request. What happened as a result of your obedience? The reading for the day is: Genesis 16:1–18:15 Matthew 6:1-24 Psalm 7:1-17 Proverbs 2:1-5
In this episode of Pray the Word on Genesis 17:3, David Platt teaches us to respond appropriately to God's glory and God's Word.Explore more content from Radical.
