A Covenant is more than just an agreement between people and/or organizations. It is about relationship, blood, and death. Yes, blood and death. In the Old Testament people understood that making a covenant was about the relationship they had with the person and blood had to be spilled if the covenant was to be enforced. To enact a covenant someone or thing had to spill it's blood. The only way you could get out of a covenant without repercussions was death. However, with every covenant there were promises and stipulations. The covenant Jesus made with the Father in our behalf was enacted by Jesus' blood being spilled and His death fulfilling the Old Covenant. WHAT ARE THE PROMISES OF THE NEW COVENANT?

Jesus Christ is the most influential man that has ever lived.  His impact on the world is unmatched.  But with that fame and influence people can take Him for granted.  However, when He speaks to you and reveals His everlasting love to you, you will never be the same.  He will give you a passion that spares no expense, it disregards public opinion, and holds nothing back.  With that kind of passion we can change the world. Regardless of how evil it may seem.  With Jesus there is always hope.

Jesus came to serve and not be served.  That's what He told His disciples over 2000 years ago and He is still telling us to do the same.  Even in the Old Testament the nation of Israel rose to the occasion to serve one another when they were under the onslaught of the enemy.  The Prophet Nehemiah call God's people to rise up and build.  They were to build the wall at their own home and make sure they served and worked with each other to insure the safety of the entire nation.  We are to do no less but greater than they did as followers of Jesus Christ.

Our world has gone insane, crazy, and losing it's collective mind.  Good is evil and evil is good.  Right is wrong and wrong is right.  Up is down and down is up.  The world has been turned upside down.  As followers of Jesus how are we to live in the days of evil?  Simply put, look at Jesus.  Keep our eyes on Him.  Listen to Him.  Walk with Him.  Converse with Him.  His strength, His Joy, His Hope, His peace will guard our heart and mind, if we Look at Him.

The world is going crazy, many might think and believe.  However, the world has been going crazy for a long time.  But what's coming in the near future is way beyond our thinking and understanding.  That is why it is paramount that we have the wisdom of God to live our lives with power and strength that only comes from Him.  The wisdom of this world has produced a world in which we are finding it harder and harder everyday to function and live in.  Wars, moral decay, the onslaught of AI, and much more.  The disciple James tells us how to live in this world and if we call on God in faith He will give us the wisdom to not just survive in this world but to thrive in it.

Faith is not just a noun or just a verb.  They are both.  You may ask how can they be both?  You see you can't have faith without works but works are a result of your faith.  Faith in Jesus, not your works.  Works done for your glory or the glory of man will only lead to religious piety.  Works as a result of our faith in Jesus because we love Him and people, will have reward but the reward is inconsequential.  We do because of who we belong to.  We do because it is who we are.  We don't find our identity in what we do but because of who we are and who He is in us we, do.  We work.  We believe.  We have faith and we do faith!

The world has gone mad, crazy, and is out of control many say.  But what does God say about the crazy mixed up world?  In the midst of the storms of life He is there to comfort us.  To calm us in the middle of the storm, not to necessarily calm the storm.  The Apostle Paul dealt with a time at the church in Corinth where they needed comforting and who did God use?  A person.  An imperfect person.  A person with flaws, but a person who sought after God and in so doing was able to bring comfort to the church at Corinth.  Who was that person, Titus.  As God comforts us we must comfort others.  You can give away what you don't have.  Position yourself in a way where God's comfort and overwhelm you instead of life doing it.

Miracles are remarkable.  Why, because they don't happen all the time and they go against normal, everyday life happenings.  They also go beyond the natural.  They are supernatural happenings that can only be contributed to a supernatural being, God.  Encounters with God should always be supernatural and remarkable.  We however get "used" to the awesome presence of God and lose or fear, awe, and wonder of Him.  Listen as Pastor Jacob Hickman share how one remarkable miracle changed peoples lives.

Success and Significance are not the same.  Can you have one without the other? Yes, but which one?  There have been many men and women over the centuries that have been extremely successful monetarily but their impact on the world was shallow.  Their lives were insignificant because they used up all their influence, power, relationships, and money on themselves.  It only benefited them or those closest to them.  Jesus' life and the words He spoke changed the world.  His glory, majesty, wisdom, and love was divine to say the least but He lived in such a way that all the divine attributes and more impacted the world around Him and in the hundreds and thousands of years later.  He lived a life of significance and in the process was successful.  He literally changed the world and how we view time.  Now that is significant.  Your choice, which one will it be?

The Holy Spirit of God has been misunderstood and misrepresented since the day of Pentecost.

Our earthly fathers should be a representation of our heavenly father.  However, that is not always the case.  Why?  There are a thousand different answers.  If you and I are going to be the godly fathers that we should be then that means we have to go to our heavenly father and let Him father us, guide us, and love us so we in turn can be that to our children.  We need our Father God in order to be a godly father to our sons and daughters.

Life can get a little choppy at times.  Difficult to say the least.  The storms of life don't show up when it is convenient.  No, they are always in the most hard, difficult, and perilous times of our life.  However Jesus is always with us as His followers.  He might not be behaving as we think He should be He is with us none the less.  Jesus will not let your "boat" sink.  No, with Him it will "float".  He may not calm the storm He just might need to calm you in the midst of your storm.  Either way, He is in control.  Your job is to simply trust Him.
