The Covenants of Promise - Episode 9 Feb 10, 2022

Show notes

The spiritual journey of Abraham was as much a journey of hope as it was of faith. These two spiritual forces cannot operate alone. There is no faith without hope.

For 24 years, God built Abraham’s hope until the time came for the physical creation of Isaac’s body. Isaac was a spiritual reality to Abraham, but he had no basis for faith in a physical Isaac until God’s visit in Genesis 17:1-2.

The Covenants of Promise - Episode 8 Feb 09, 2022

Show notes

The ceremonies, rituals, and dealings that God carried out with Abram were done in meticulous detail, even though they were largely symbolic. Every detail had to be observed because the symbols had to be perfect representations of the actual events to come. The Abrahamic Covenant had to be a perfect picture of our Covenant with Christ.

The Covenants of Promise- Episode 7 Feb 08, 2022

Show notes

The appearance of the Word of the Lord to Abram in Genesis 15 is the first time that God clearly makes a covenant with him. The covenant is hinted at in every encounter Abram had with God up to this point, but this story is the first open declaration of God’s covenant with Abram.

The Covenants of Promise - Episode 6 Feb 07, 2022

Show notes

The following verse is one of the most intriguing verses in the Old Testament. It is an example of the Law of First Mention, the first occurrence of an idea or expression.

Genesis 15:1 NKJV

After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, “Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.”

Show notes

This month on the Faith Roots Podcast we'll revisit "Covenants of Promise," one of our favorite series from 2021. These 20 power-packed episodes provide an in-depth look at the blood covenant God made with Abraham, and how God wants to have this covenant with YOU!

Not long after Lot’s removal to Sodom, there was a confederation of kings that invaded the region and carried away much of its population. Lot was among those who were taken prisoner. When Abram learned of Lot’s capture, he sprang into action. This story gives us a more complete picture of Abram’s situation in Canaan.

The Covenants of Promise - Episode 4 Feb 03, 2022

Show notes

When Abram left his father’s family and followed God’s instruction to go to Canaan, he was accompanied by his nephew, Lot. Like Abram, Lot also had herds of sheep and goats, and in time, their shepherds began to fight at the waterholes. Abram had the honor of seniority in their relationship, but Lot was not careful to impress this sense of honor into his herdsmen. Abram could foresee the probability of great bitterness between him and his nephew, so he initiated a separation with Lot, giving him first pick of Canaan’s grazing lands.

The Covenants of Promise - Episode 3 Feb 02, 2022

Show notes

Shortly after Abram arrived in the land of Canaan, there was a life-threatening famine that altered his plans. He had to take his family and possessions of flocks and herds to Egypt. It was during this time that he discovered the unconditional nature of the covenant God had made with him.

The Covenants of Promise - Episode 2 Feb 01, 2022

Show notes

The Lord appeared to Abram and called him to leave his family, his father’s house, and the land of the Chaldees on the Euphrates River. Abram did nothing to merit this call and was not chosen for his works. He was not looking for God—God went looking for him.

The Covenants of Promise - Episode 1 Jan 31, 2022

Show notes

Most people today have little or no understanding of how covenants impacted our ancestors in the ages past. Covenants, almost all of which were constructed around a blood sacrifice, gave order to a world in chaos. They enabled neighbors to live in peace and restrained local despots from running roughshod over peaceful people.
