Genesis 17:1-14. Now you know that you are my people.

Rev. Jason Bredeson, pastor of Trinity Lutheran Church in Sacramento, CA joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Genesis 17:1-14.

Abram receives the full-meal deal of promises from the LORD: a new name, promise of many nations, and the sign of circumcision. His covenant toward us is everlasting. The promise that we still have today by the blood of Christ. In Baptism, we are marked as one of His own. He gives us the fullness of salvation, reminding us to live in His covenant as His holy people. “Lord God, You have made Your mark on us to know of Your everlasting covenant in Christ and we ask for Your help to live holy lives as Your covenantal people on account of Christ. Lord have mercy. Amen”
