From the Start - Part 28 | A New Name and Covenant (A Genesis Sermon Series Part 29)

God changes a man's name, makes him a promise he can't fully comprehend, and gives him a sign he'll carry the rest of his life. In this sermon from the From the Start Genesis sermon series, Pastor Drew Webb unpacks Genesis 17: the covenant God made with Abraham. In this episode:📛 Why Abram's name change to Abraham mattered, and what it meant🤝 The permanence of God's covenant, echoing His promise to Noah🏞️ The promise of Canaan as a homeland for Abraham's descendants✨ How the promised "offspring" points forward to Jesus✂️ The surprising meaning behind circumcision as the sign of the covenant💧 Why baptism carries that same symbolism today👶 The story of Isaac, Ishmael, and the son through whom the covenant continued Grounded in Genesis 17 and connected to Romans 4, Galatians 3, and Hebrews 11, this message traces a single covenant all the way from Abraham to Christ.
