In this teaching from Shabbat, May 9, 2026, Kraig Elliott teaches on Genesis 15.
Genesis 15 is one of the most foundational covenant passages in all of Scripture. Abram had obeyed Yehovah, left everything behind, rejected the riches of Sodom, and walked by faith—yet he still struggled with fear and unanswered questions.
In this message, we examine:
Why fear often comes after obedience
What it means that Yehovah is our “shield” and “exceedingly great reward”
Why Genesis 15:6 became foundational to Paul’s teaching in Romans and Galatians
How righteousness is credited through faith
The relationship between faith and obedience
How this covenant ultimately points us to Messiah Yeshua
This sermon is for believers who know the promises of God are true, yet still wrestle with the question:
“How?”
“The promise does not rest upon your strength. It rests upon His faithfulness.”
Main Passage: Genesis 15
Additional Scriptures: Romans 4, Galatians 3, James 2, Psalm 73, John 14
