Sermons on Covenants (Page 2)
Sodom & Gommorah
Gen 18/19 Abraham receives three visitors and shows lavish hospitality. One announces that Sarah will bear a son within a year. Sarah, aware that childbirth is biologically impossible for her, laughs inwardly and then denies it when confronted. The moment underscores divine omniscience and introduces the central question: whether anything is beyond divine power. As the visitors proceed toward Sodom, Abraham learns that the city faces judgment because of extreme injustice and pervasive harm. He intercedes, arguing that justice should…
The Enduring Covenant
Genesis 17:1-27 The passage reflects on Genesis 17 as a pivotal reaffirmation of God’s covenant with Abraham after decades of waiting.

Aftter the Flood
Genesis 9:1-29 After the flood, God renews His covenant with humanity through Noah, restoring order and purpose to creation. Humanity is commanded to be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth, echoing the original mandate given to Adam. Yet, the relationship between humans and animals changes—fear replaces harmony, and for the first time, meat is permitted for food, though the sanctity of blood must be respected as a symbol of life. Blood becomes central throughout Scripture, representing atonement, covenant, cleansing, and…
