    based on 44 ratings
     | 8,037 views

    God has called upon us to walk before him in holiness, and has revealed that he is powerful enough to make his promises come to pass.

    Pastor’s note: I wanted to call this "A Cut above" but couldn’t bring myself to do it. Passage: Genesis 17:1-27 In Genesis 15 God came to Abram and introduced repeated to him the Abrahamic covenant and it’s central tenant; that of God’s undeserved blessing to Abram. God took Abram outside the ...read more

    Abraham’s Journey of Faith

    A. INTRODUCTION (Genesis 17:1-27) 1. Rebellion. What does the number 13 imply? "Abraham was eighty-six-years-old when Ishmael was born" (16:16 ELT). "When Abraham was ninety-nine-years-old, the Lord the Almighty appeared to him" (17:1). 2. Outside God’s will. What was God’s plan for Ishmael? "As ...read more

    we will read of a new level of revelation that came to Abram about the nature and purposes of God’s works. He gained a deeper understanding of his covenant relationship with God and from that understanding, moved into a deeper obedience that was sustained

    Beginnings # 5 Once again, we turn to the book of Beginnings, the book of Genesis, as we continue in this series about foundations that undergird our understanding of this world and our God. Today’s subject matter is both comforting and complex! Our text comes from the 17th chapter of Genesis. I ...read more

    The sermon examines the relationship between faith and works as God gives Abraham the rite of circumcision.

    Genesis 17 May 18, 2003 Which came first - the chicken or the egg? It is one of those silly questions that the human brain can get a little silly with. You can’t have a chicken without an egg, yet you need a chicken to lay the egg in the first place. Of course science has solved the problem by ...read more

    This sermon is about getting used to second best instead of the best that God has for us. See God for who He really is! God, the God of resurrection.

    AROUSED FAITH THE STEPS TO A FRESH EXPERIENCE WITH GOD Genesis 17:1-27 The time lapse between chapters 16 and 17 of Genesis involve a period of approximately 13yrs. The central figure in these chapters is Abraham and his journey with God. Much had happened in his life, but the promised son Isaac ...read more

    along with illumination brings human obligation. Abraham was given some practical instructions. In verse one we see that God says walk before me, and be thou perfect.

    Speaking with God. Genesis 17. 12/22/04 At least 14 years have elapsed in Abraham’s life since God was last recorded as speaking with him. During that time, Ishmael, Abraham’s son by Hagar had been born and grown to a boy of 13. Abraham and Sarah had grown to the age of 99 and 89 which made ...read more

    This is the 31st sermon in a series on the Book of Genesis. In this sermon we examine how faith is shown by what you do rather than what you think or say.

    Obedient Faith (Genesis part 31) Text: Genesis 17:15-27 By: Ken McKinley Well we’ve been in Genesis for quite a while now. And this is our 3rd week on Genesis chapter 17. We’ve been looking at Abraham, and we’ve already seen how he had spent 86 years of his life not being a ...read more

    Studies In Genesis: Chapters 17 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 15, 2011
     | 5,100 views

    This is a study of the book of Genesis. Genesis and Revelation are two of the most disputed books in the Bible. The premise of this study is the foundation of creation.

    Note: When doing a study on a book in the Bible you use a lot of resources. The major influence for me on this study of Genesis is The Genesis Record by Henry Morris. Genesis 17 1. And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I [am] ...read more

    Will You Wait On God? Series

     | 7,507 views

    Faith is tested when we must wait and continue to trust God even when the answer seems far away, or when our problems seem too great. Abraham's lack of an heir, and God's promise to work a miracle for Abraham provide a powerful example for us of waiting

    Sermon Notes April 22, 2012 FBCam Will You Wait on God? Genesis 17 We often equate FAITH with DECISIONS. Sometimes FAITH is about WAITING. Romans 4:9-12 describes Abraham as the “Father of our Faith.” When we consider Abraham’s faith, we normally consider his faith in ...read more

    True faith requires action.

    Henry Blackaby in “Experiencing God” words it this way: "The crisis of belief is an encounter with God requires faith. Encounters with God are God-sized. What you do in response to God’s revelation reveals what you believe about God. True faith requires action". If someone promised you that one day ...read more
