Sermon October 7, 2007 Trust and Obey, Genesis 17
Genesis 17 Trust and Obey
We need to understand what the Bible teaches about God’s covenant.
A. THE SUFFICIENCY OF GOD’S COVENANT
Can God be trusted? [1]
B. THE SOVEREIGNTY OF GOD’S COVENANT
Who sets up our relationship with God? [2, 5, 6, 7, 8]
C. THE SUBSTANCE OF GOD’S COVENANT
1. Physical blessings [Ps 127]
2. Spiritual blessings [Eph 1; Rom 8]
D. THE SPIRITUAL NATURE OF GOD’S COVENANT
To those who are of the faith of Abraham [Gal 3.7, 29; Rom 4.11; 9.8]
E. THE SIGN OF GOD’S COVENANT [10]
1. We are different from the world around us
2. We are clean
3. We are loyal
F. THE STAGGERING REALITY OF GOD’S COVENANT
God promises to do the impossible for us
Therefore…trust and obey [23]
