The Signs of the Covenant | Lord's Day Sermon | 10th August, 2025 | Adeola Ogundele
Description
In today’s message, The Signs of the Covenant, part of our Genesis series, Pastor Adeola Ogundele explores Genesis 17:7–14 to show that God’s covenant with Abraham has both physical and spiritual fulfilment, ultimately realized in Christ and His church.
God promised Abraham nations and kings, land, and His abiding presence. These were fulfilled in part through Israel—descendants from Sarah, Hagar, and Keturah grew into nations, over forty kings reigned from Saul to the exile, Israel entered and possessed the land of Canaan in Joshua’s day, and God’s presence dwelt among them through the tabernacle and temple. Yet these pointed to greater realities: the eternal King Jesus, a heavenly homeland prepared by God, and His presence with His people forever.
The sign of circumcision, though practiced in other cultures, was given new meaning by God—as a lasting reminder of His covenant, a symbol of heart circumcision from sin, and a declaration that His blessings come not by human effort but by faith. Abraham obeyed even at great personal cost, showing that trust in God often requires surrender. For believers today, the true and everlasting covenant is found in Christ, whose promises cannot fail.
