Ep 21 - Abraham, Isaac, Jesus, Circumcision & Sodom

Why did Abram’s wife Sarai offer her slave girl Hagar to conceive an heir for him? What was the Covenant of Circumcision? Are New Testament believer’s hearts circumcised when they accept Jesus Christ? Why did God change Abram’s name to Abraham and Sarai’s name to Sarah? Would the prophesied Messiah of Genesis 3:15 come from the descendants of Ishmael or Isaac? Did Abraham bargain with Jesus Christ before Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed? Was Abraham’s bargaining with God a type of intercessory prayer? Why did God destroy the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah? Why did Ishmael harass Isaac? What is the relationship between Hagar, Sarah, the Law of Moses, and grace? Why did God command Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac? Was Abraham a type of Christ? Dr. Ben Pennington answers these questions using selected passages in Genesis and cross-references several New Testament scriptures in a discussion concerning Abraham, Sarah, Ishmael, Isaac, the Covenant of Circumcision and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah.
