Genesis 17:1-14

We’re starting a new series this week. It’s called the Covenant family. You might be asking, “what is a covenant family?” I’m glad you asked! A covenant family is one with a special relationship with the Lord for a distinct purpose.

So the follow up question you may be asking is this: “Is my family a covenant family?” If you are here this morning as a follower of Christ, then the answer is yes! You have been made a part of the family of God, which is a family related by covenant with God. This is good news and has huge implications for how your family is to live. That’s what this series as a whole will look at in the coming weeks. We will look at what this means for your marriage, for raising children, for understanding the covenant role of a husband and a wife.

As we start this series, we’re looking at a foundational text in Genesis that sets the stage for understanding the covenant family.
