God affirms a covenant with Abraham (no longer called Abram) to be the father of a multitude through Isaac, if Abraham will walk faithfully and obediently with God. Abraham responds to God's offer by circumcising himself and his household that same day. For us, circumcision of the foreskin holds no value, but Christ does circumcise our flesh when we raised to new life in Him. See Colossians 2:11-14

God exalts Abram for his faith by crediting him with righteousness. Yet Abram repeatedly expresses his doubts even in the midst of faithful walking with God. "How can I know?" he asks. God responds with a covenant ratification ceremony that amazes Abram and anchors us in real hope. No one could see this coming! See also Galatians 3:13-14 and Hebrews 6:17-19.

As the "pre-history" of Genesis draws to a close, God re-engages man to fill the earth, but man attempts to live out of alignment with the will of God. Genesis 11:1-9

Through the flood, the ark and the bow, we can appreciate: Man's Sin, God's Grief, and Costly Mercy. This sermon also referenced Genesis 1:31, Jude 12-16, Luke 17:26-27, 1 Peter 3:20-21
