Another in our series of walking with Abraham.  We will be considering an unbelievable visit (Verses 1-8) and some unbelievable news (Verses 9-15)

Today we are going to be in a monumental chapter, Genesis 17. Once again God speaks to Abram and enhances the covenant he has made with him previously. 
Today as we walk through this passage we will consider:
i) God's promises and pledge vv.1-8, 15-16. 
ii) The Sign of the Covenant vv.9-14 
iii) Abraham's Response vv.17-27

In Genesis 16 we come across Sarai and Abram; later renamed Abraham, who have been waiting for God to show up and fulfil a promise made ten long years earlier.

 As Zane Elliott opens this passage we see two contrasting ideas. 

i) Human doubt vv.1-6. Doubt plays on Sarai’s mind, and she finds her own solution, instead of waiting on God.
Then we will be reminded of;
ii)  God’s faithfulness vv.7-16.
Even in the disaster which follows, God's Faithfulness is a theme which has come up time and time again as we’ve been walking with Abraham, walking with God.

In this chapter God reassures Abram that his word is true, and his promises will come to pass. 

Zane Elliott explores the passage by looking at the following headings:
i) Abram trusts God's Word vv.1-5 
ii) Abram is justified by faith v.6 
iii) God shows His Word can be trusted vv.7-21

This sermon was originally preached at Holy Trinity Richmond on Sunday 7th August 2022.

In this sermon we see how an International conflict threatens to interfere with God's promise to give Abram  the land of Canaan. God's faithfulness shines through.

ii) Abram's victory vv.13-16 
iii) Two Kings, Two choices vv.17-24.

We join a  journey with Abram from Egypt back to Canaan. We'll be thinking through what it means to live by faith not sight as he faces a choice; to trust the promises of God, or make decisions based on what he can see in front of him.

We'll use the following headers to help guide us:
i) Abram Returns vv.1-4
ii) Strife with Lot vv.5-7
iii) Faith or Sight? vv.8-13
iv) A Promise renewed vv.14-18

This sermon was originally preached at Holy Trinity in Richmond.

In this sermon we follow Abram to Egypt, where he lets his fear overcome his faith in God's promise. Instead of trusting God Abram takes control of the situation with disastrous consequences.

 Today's message will help us see:
i) Abram's Fear vv.10-12 
ii) Abram's Deception vv.13-16
iii) God's Faithfulness vv.17-20

This sermon was originally preached at Holy Trinity Richmond, on Sunday 3rd July 2022.

In this sermon Zane Elliott begins the series 'Walking with Abraham, Walking with God.'

ii) God's Promise           12:2-3
