About This Message
Working through Genesis 17, Pastor Addison explores how God keeps his forgetful people from losing sight of his promises. He shows that God reminds Abram of the covenant repeatedly, renames him from Abram to Abraham as a permanent reminder of what is promised, and finally gives him circumcision as a lasting practice, much as communion, baptism, and Scripture memory serve the same purpose today, even when it costs something painful.
Key Takeaways
- God patiently reminds his people of his promises again and again.
- He renamed Abram and Sarai to keep the promise before them.
- He gave lasting practices, like circumcision, communion, and baptism, as reminders.
