New Promises
  • I will make you a Great Nation
  • Descendants as the dust of the earth
  • Descendants as the stars in the heavens
  • I will greatly multiply your descendants
  • I will Multiply you Exceedingly
  • I will make you the father of a Multitude of
    Nations
  • I will make you Exceedingly Fruitful
  • Kings shall come forth from you

6
New Sign of the Covenant
  • Every male to be circumcised in the flesh of his
    foreskin
  • To be done when eight days old
  • Servants included
  • Refusing circumcision was breaking the covenant

7
One More Promise
  • Sarah will have a son
  • Abraham laughs
  • Oh that Ishmael may live before Thee!
  • Son will be named Isaac he laughs
  • Covenant will be with Isaac
  • But Ishmael will be blessed also

8
Challenges to Abrahams Faith
  • Believed Ishmael was the son of promise
  • Thought it impossible that he and Sarah could
    bear a child at such an old age
  • Promises of descendants even more intense
  • Wearing a new name
  • Circumcision

Abraham Obeys God (1722-27)
