'All Abraham's Men And Boys'
Genesis 17:24-27.
a) Genesis 17:24. Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised.
b) Genesis 17:25. Ishmael, his son, was thirteen years old when he was circumcised.
c) Genesis 17:26. They were quick to obey God.
d) Genesis 17:27. All the men in Abraham's household, whether born or bought were circumcised.
(This QT teaches me that All Abraham's Men And Boys were obedient to God and Abraham to be circumcised)
PRAYER: To obey God in the things that He tells us to do.

'An Important Matter.'
Romans 8:13.
a) If you live according to the flesh,
b) You will die,
c) But, if by the Holy Spirit
d) You put to death the deeds of the body,
e) You shall live.
(This Second one raises An Important Matter)
PRAYER: To be filled with the Holy Spirit and to apply that fulness to our life.

All Abraham's men and boys were obedient to God, all, except the babies and very young children, knew what they were doing and the meaning of what they were doing. Whatever ordinance or ceremony that takes place in our church should include the presence of the children. When they get home, the parents can explain to them what was happening and why it happened. Apart from 'sermon time', it is good for the children to be with their parents in the sanctuary.
