I will Give You A New Name - Pastor Crystal Krachunis - Genesis 17:1-8

In “I Will Give You a New Name,” Pastor Crystal Krachunis teaches from Genesis 17:1–8, where God changes Abram’s name to Abraham and reveals the covenant promise that would shape generations. This sermon reminds believers that when God gives someone a new name, He is declaring a new identity, a new purpose, and a new future. Pastor Crystal walks through biblical examples of name changes, including Abraham, Sarah, Jacob, and Peter, showing that God’s work in a person is more than symbolic. A new name means a changed nature and a life that no longer clings to old sin, old labels, or old excuses. In Christ, we are not called to build our identity around self-expression, but to reflect Jesus in our words, actions, character, and outward life. This message also highlights the beauty of redemption. Through the blood of Christ, believers are bought back from sin and restored to the Father. We are no longer slaves, no longer orphans, and no longer forsaken. We are redeemed, holy, sought out, and called God’s own. Pastor Crystal encourages the church to live like people who have truly been made new and to proclaim what the Lord has redeemed them from.
