This episode explores the pivotal chapter of Genesis 17, marking a significant turning point in God's covenant with Abram, now Abraham. At 99, he receives a powerful reaffirmation and a new name, "father of a multitude." We unpack the meaning of the Covenant of Circumcision, the significance of the name changes to Abraham and Sarah, and the miraculous promise of their son Isaac, through whom the covenant will continue. We'll also discuss the everlasting nature of God's covenant and Abraham's obedient response in faith.
Join us as we delve into themes of covenant, identity, faith in the impossible, and the enduring nature of God's promises.
