Abstract
This project is a collection of seven expositional sermons on the life of Abraham with an emphasis on God’s covenant with Abraham. The sermon series is entitled “Abraham & the God of Promise,” which captures both the biographical and covenantal focus of the series. Theologically, these sermons explain the role of Abraham in the biblical story and the pivotal role of the Abrahamic Covenant in God’s purpose of redemption. Spiritually, these sermons trace the relational dynamics between God and Abraham in order to illustrate a life in covenantal relationship with the God of the Bible. Through these sermons, I seek to demonstrate that God’s covenantal relationship with Abraham is established by grace, experienced through faith, vindicated by works, and finally realized in Abraham’s greater Son, the Lord Jesus.
