A Covenant by Faith Alone (Genesis 15-17)

Share a commentHave you ever felt like your faith wasn’t enough? In Genesis 15-17, Abraham is in his eighties, still waiting on God’s promise of a son. His faith is slipping, and his wife Sarah decides they need a backup plan. But God's covenant isn’t dependent on human effort or perfect belief—it rests on His grace alone. In this episode, Stephen Davey explores how God reassures Abraham, counts his faith as righteousness, and even changes his name to reflect His unbreakable promises. You’ll also hear about the consequences of Abraham and Sarah taking matters into their own hands, resulting in the birth of Ishmael. But despite their mistakes, God shows that His promises are unstoppable. If you need a reminder that God’s faithfulness holds strong, even when your faith feels weak, this episode is for you. Dive into the story of Abraham, Sarah, and the God who keeps every promise He makes.Free issue of our magazine: https://www.wisdomonline.org/lp/magazineStephen Davey's newest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback Learn more at https://www.wisdomonline.org/Support the show
