Theme From Sunday's Sermon: Praying for Blessing

Topic: Blessing and Obedience

On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Jay Rivenbark, and Alyssa Bream discuss the following questions:

I know we practice circumcision in our country for health reasons, but it is difficult for us to relate to circumcision as a "sign". Why did God choose this as a sign of His covenant with Abraham and Israel?

Okay, but how does circumcision connect to the covenant? They don't seem related.

What are some things God requires of His people that are not necessarily "logical"?

What are some things God has required you to do that were perhaps difficult to obey?

Talk about a time in your life when you were obedient to a challenging request. What happened as a result of your obedience?

The reading for the day is:

Genesis 16:1–18:15

Matthew 6:1-24

Psalm 7:1-17

Proverbs 2:1-5
