Listen "Promises of God, the Covenant of Abraham"
Episode Synopsis
On this episode, Brian & Nick discuss how God’s covenant with Abraham reveals His faithfulness, His plan for redemption, and His promise to provide — no matter what.1. The Covenant Begins — Genesis 12 & 15 God calls Abram to leave everything behind and promises to make him into a great nation. Abram believes, and his faith is counted as righteousness. In Genesis 15, God seals the covenant Himself — showing that this promise depends fully on Him, not on human effort.2. The Sign of the Covenant — Genesis 17 Circumcision becomes the physical mark of belonging to God’s people — a reminder of His lasting promise. Today, baptism carries that same meaning under the New Covenant: an outward sign of inward faith and identity in Christ.3. Mount Moriah — Genesis 22 When Abraham is asked to offer Isaac, he trusts that “God will provide.” And He does — supplying a ram in Isaac’s place. That moment foreshadows Jesus, the true Lamb who would one day be sacrificed for all.4. God Always Provides Even when Abraham’s descendants fall short, God’s promises hold. From Abraham to Moses and beyond, His faithfulness never wavers. The covenant reminds us that God not only calls us to trust Him — He provides everything we need to do so.Takeaway: The Covenant with Abraham points us to Jesus — the fulfillment of God’s promise, the ultimate proof that His word never fails.
