Title:      The Circumcised Life

Ref:         Genesis 17:1-27

El Shaddai - God Almighty - _________________________________________________

God is the One whom we are to draw ________________________________________
from: to lean upon Him and seek His will over our own heart’s desires.

The Christian life is a _________________________________________ walk with God.

God is not asking for perfection, He’s asking us to walk __________________________
with Him.

God says, "I want an ___________________________________ relationship with you."

Our identity is not in who we are, but in who _________________________________ is.

Lordship is daily recognizing the _____________________________________________
of Jesus to direct and lead your life.

Circumcision is a symbolic means to constantly restrain Abraham’s
_____________________________ to achieve God’s purposes through his own effort
(i.e. his "flesh").

We are to be circumcised in our _____________________________________________
as a sign that we belong to God.

Circumcision of the Heart

1. New _________________________________ - we draw near to God

2. New _________________________________ - we are called Christians

3. New _________________________________ - we are wholly devoted to God
