This podcast features the messages of Covenant Church in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, usually featuring Pastor Joel Rainey, but will also feature associate and guest pastors or speakers. Look for new episodes each week.
On occasion we address Covenant Church family questions during the Sunday morning message. We want to engage our folks where they are, and these questions help our pastors be more effective, by understanding where they struggle.There are many decisions Covenant makes, positions we take et al that do not make the difference between heaven and hell, and on which other churches sometimes take a different approach. Because our church is multi-denominational, we have many rich faith traditions represented among our people. In this message we look at the question “Why Do We Baptize That Way?” What is baptism - and why, who, and how should I be baptized?Join in as we listen to answers on difficult questions about our faith, and our church.LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:• Download the free study guide by visiting and clicking on the button "Download Study Guide"• Find a complete transcript here• Scripture References: Matthew 28, verse 19; Romans 6, verses 1-4; Matthew 3, verses 16-17; Colossians 2, verses 11-12; Ephesians 2, verses 8-9• Find out more about Covenant Church at covenantexperience.com

The letter of Romans strengthened the ancient church, brought reformation to the dark ages, has brought hope for 2000 years, and can change your life!This week Pastor Joel begins Part 2 of his message series in the book of the Bible called Romans, “Bold Faith That Wins”. Paul's going to teach us that victory over “that thing that dogs you” starts with recognizing and choosing to live in the new identity that God has given you. Our enemy whispers in our ear, “Are you really sure that you are who God says you are?” And then, of course, the really fun part for him is once it's all over and done and we have failed miserably, he gets in our ear and he gets louder and he says, “I told you you were not who He said you were.” Here are four practices to fight your sin and live in freedom: receive the power of grace, repeat the habits of grace, refuse to depart from grace, and renew obedience under grace.

Passages like this make us exercise faith which is “when the unexplainable meets the undeniable.” What we can know about this really difficult letter within this really powerful passage is that Paul is showing us the gospel is not merely a prayer, nor is it only the story of Jesus, it involves the two most important events that have ever occurred ̶ one that brings death and one that brings life. We are called to take these four actions throughout our life: remember the reign of death, recognize the answer to death, receive deliverance from death, and rejoice in the defeat of death.This is a special four part series that will span the year of 2025.LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:• Recommended reading for this series• JD Greear, GK Chestorton• Download the free study guide by visiting and clicking on the button "Download Study Guide"• Find a complete transcript here• Scripture References: Romans 5, verses 12-21 • Find out more about Covenant Church at covenantexperience.com
The letter of Romans strengthened the ancient church, brought reformation to the dark ages, has brought hope for 2000 years, and can change your life!This week Pastor Joel continues his message series, Romans Bold Faith That Saves. Loving God with all of your heart, soul, mind and strength and loving your neighbor as yourself, loving your enemies… all this will involve some pain. It's going to involve enduring things that, in all likelihood, will just simply not resolve in this world.But it all has a purpose. You may not know what that is. God says, “love me, treasure me, endure through this. I am yours, you are mine. That will never, ever change.” That fact alone, Paul tells us, ought to give us something no sane person outside of Christ would ever think of possessing, a measure of joy energized by divine power that mystifies the world.This is a special four part series that will span the year of 2025.LINKS + RESOURCES FROM THIS EPISODE:• Recommended reading for this series• Watchman Nee• D.

Love rejoices in the truth. We've already heard about the power of the gospel and how Paul was changed by it. But the next two weeks, love is going to demonstrate for us the dire need that every human being that has or ever will live has for this story. Moreover, for this person, the Lord Jesus. Wrapped in God's love, we have what the Bible would refer to as a spiritual disease described in this term that we have used so much now that it's almost lost all of its meaning, that we are sinners.
