    Father Abraham The Bold

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 20, 2011
     | 6,852 views

    Abraham’s deep attachment to BOTH Ishmael and Isaac is often overlooked. Abraham was a gutsy dad who stood up to his wife and took responsibilities for his sons; he was anything but passive. In what ways is a godly father bold? Father Abraham’s life de

    This is the 30th sermon in an expository series we are doing on the book of Genesis. In this sermon we examine circumcision and how it relates to communion.

    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

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 23, 2013
    based on 2 ratings
     | 44,795 views

    God could have had Abraham put a tattoo on his arm or any one of a thousand other signs, but instead He chose the sign of circumcision? Why in the world? And, beyond that, what relevance does that have for Christians today?

    OF ALL THE POSSIBLE OPTIONS FOR A SIGN TO THE ISRAELITES, WHY DID GOD CHOOSE CIRCUMCISION? The promise was a miraculous physical child that would be the father to a physical people, so the sign had to do with sex. - Genesis 17:4-13. - Notice in these verses all the physical signs: - v. 4 – ...read more

    A look at how and why we settle for less than God's best.

    WHY DO WE SO SELCOME SEE GOD DO GREAT THINGS? Often in our spiritual lives, we become content with second-best plans. - Genesis 17:16, 18. - Abraham had so come to accept his Plan B (having Ishmael by Sarah’s maidservant) that when God speaks of the fulfillment of His original great promise ...read more

    Will You Wait On God? Series

    Contributed by Paul Barreca on Apr 22, 2012
    based on 3 ratings
     | 7,474 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

    Studies In Genesis: Chapters 17 Series

    Contributed by Edward Hardee on Oct 15, 2011

    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

    The old preachers used devices called types and the struggle between Ishmael and Isaac is a classic to represent the flesh and the Spirit battling.

    Most of us as Christians are so comfortable counting on our long year of salvation and probably service in the house of God yet the Almighty God whom we claim to be serving is so disappointed in our relationship with Him. Grow your relationship with Him.

    There is a reason for you to be perfect, and that is because I am the Almighty, the God who is perfect in all things. However, you cannot become perfect by any other means except by growing your relationship with Me. Those were the words of God to Abraham in Genesis 17:1, fifteen years after he ...read more
