In this message, we look at Genesis 17 and the covenant that God makes with Abraham, described as everlasting. Rather than being something that belongs only to the past, this covenant helps us understand how God works with His people today.
We reflect on how:
The covenant is initiated by God, not earned by human effort
Faith often requires waiting and trusting beyond what we can see
Belonging to God is marked by spiritual transformation, not just outward signs
God introduces Himself as El Shaddai, which means God Almighty. The passage highlights God’s character as both powerful and present. Even when Abraham laughs in disbelief, God remains faithful to His promise.
