Abraham, Circumcision, and Christ
Genesis 17:1-14
Main Point: Instead of being cut off from God, God has _________ our sin and ___________ us for eternity!
The Sign of Circumcision for Abraham
The Sign of “Circumcision” for Us
The Circumcised Life
Small group questions:
What stood out to you from the passage or sermon?
How would you explain the meaning behind the circumcision? What is the point of it?
How can we pursue obedience and a “circumcised life” without it turning into a chore? In other words, how do we make sure obedience is done out of love?
What other signs, like circumcision, has God given us to remind us of His love for us?
Missionary Highlight: Edgar & Clementina Buenaventura
Affiliated with Christian & Missionary Alliance
Colombia, South America
Edgar and Clementina are Bible translators and leaders of the Achagua language project in the Eastern plains of Colombia, South America. Much of the language learning and linguistic analysis of the Achagua language is completed. The Buenaventuras are currently involved in Scripture distribution using battery- and solar-powered digital amplifiers with the pre-recorded gospel message; producing an arithmetic book; working on vocabulary for an Achagua dictionary; and strengthening the growing Achagua church of some 400 members.
Prayer Requests:
1. Safety and protection in travel to distribute Scripture and solar-powered amplifiers in the Achagua communities and some of the remotest areas of Colombia’s Amazon jungle.
2. That new believers will have a growing interest in reading the Scriptures in the indigenous villages that the Buenaventuras visit.
3. For the holding of needed workshops: New Believers; Reading & Writing in Achagua; Church Leadership.
4. Continued growth of the Achagua church and maturing of Achagua believers.
5. Improved finances for personal and ministry needs, and health (Clementina: eyes, and other medical conditions; Edgar: kidneys, and skeletal/muscular problems).
For the latest update from the Buenaventuras, check out their newsletter (May 10) on the Missionaries wall in the lobby (top row, 2nd from left). It’s translated from Edgar’s original letter in Spanish, and is a fascinating inside look at their life in South America!
