"Named and Claimed" by Dave Sim || Genesis 17:1-16 || November 13, 2016
from Renew Covenant Church Sermons · host RC2 Lynnwood
Genesis 17:1-16 "Named and Claimed." God changes Abe and Sarai's names along with reiterating Covenant. God knows who we really are and gives us names and calls us to live into them. We find life and promise in knowing our true names and orienting our lives according to that which we are called, in faith. We cast off our old identities and live into the Covenant, a dependent discipleship relationship with God. God claims his people and gives them identity markers (circumcision) which is to set them apart. It is important to note that this identity for Abram and his family included being "immigrants" and strangers in this new land.
