In today’s sermon, The Signs of the Covenant, part of our Genesis series on Beginnings, Pastor Adeola Ogundele unpacks Genesis 17:9–14 to compare circumcision under the old covenant and baptism under the new covenant.
Circumcision was given to Abraham as a visible sign of belonging, pointing to purification and the need for a new heart. Yet in the old covenant, one could bear the sign without truly belonging to God’s family, as with Ishmael and Esau. God’s law remained outside of them.
In Christ, the old covenant signs have been fulfilled. Circumcision, temple sacrifices and priestly rituals were scaffolding that has now given way to the substance. The new covenant is marked by inward transformation through the Spirit. God now writes His law on our hearts, and you cannot belong to this covenant without belonging to His family.
The new covenant sign is baptism. Unlike circumcision, it does not mark national identity but personal faith. It declares our union with Christ, testifying to the inward change of new birth. The water itself does not save, but it points to the deeper reality of the profession of salvation.
This contrast warns us that outward signs must flow from inward faith, assuring us that we belong to Christ and live by His Spirit.

In today’s message, The Signs of the Covenant, part of our Genesis series, Pastor Adeola Ogundele explores Genesis 17:7–14 to show that God’s covenant with Abraham has both physical and spiritual fulfilment, ultimately realized in Christ and His church.
God promised Abraham nations and kings, land, and His abiding presence. These were fulfilled in part through Israel—descendants from Sarah, Hagar, and Keturah grew into nations, over forty kings reigned from Saul to the exile, Israel entered and possessed the land of Canaan in Joshua’s day, and God’s presence dwelt among them through the tabernacle and temple. Yet these pointed to greater realities: the eternal King Jesus, a heavenly homeland prepared by God, and His presence with His people forever.
The sign of circumcision, though practiced in other cultures, was given new meaning by God—as a lasting reminder of His covenant, a symbol of heart circumcision from sin, and a declaration that His blessings come not by human effort but by faith. Abraham obeyed even at great personal cost, showing that trust in God often requires surrender. For believers today, the true and everlasting covenant is found in Christ, whose promises cannot fail.
