The ports will be fantastic, and they will each give lectures on the New and Everlasting, or Abrahamic Covenant, and will also have some panels together. Go to https://restorationtravels.com/nec-cruise/ and join us now!Please leave a comment about your ideas about the format for our Old Testament year. In this episode Kerry and Julianne discuss Section 77 and what it teaches us about the Book of Revelation and visions about the end of the world. They talk about the context for Joseph Smith getting answers about the Book of Revelation. They discuss the similarities between Ezekiel's vision and John's and Nephi's. They talk about the beings that are seen, the elders that praise God, the book that John sees, and the rich symbolism in Revelation. They then present a special separate episode where Kerry addresses a topic he has received a lot of questions about. They talk about God's anger. They try to answer questions about why the scriptures talk about God being angry, and what that means for us and our anger. They also talk about how God's anger and how it works to help and bless and change His people. They look at divine violence in the scriptures and how we can think about that and see God's love in it. They grapple with this question for some time, trying to provide answers that can make a difference in our life. We are grateful for our executive producers, B. Fisher and K.

Week four of a seven-week Sunday School class, The Basics of Baptistic Covenant Theology.

Mosaic Covenant G'day and welcome to Partake! We are now on day 6 of our series "Glimpses", looking at the story of the Bible in 30 days, from the time of creation through to the time of the fullness of redemption! Lets read together Exodus 19v1-13: Exactly two months after the Israelites left Egypt, they arrived in the wilderness of Sinai. After breaking camp at Rephidim, they came to the wilderness of Sinai and set up camp there at the base of Mount Sinai. Then Moses climbed the mountain to appear before God. The Lord called to him from the mountain and said, "Give these instructions to the family of Jacob; announce it to the descendants of Israel: ‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians. You know how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. Now if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth; for all the earth belongs to me. And you will be my kingdom of priests, my holy nation.' This is the message you must give to the people of Israel." So Moses returned from the mountain and called together the elders of the people and told them everything the Lord had commanded him. And all the people responded together, "We will do everything the Lord has commanded." So Moses brought the people's answer back to the Lord. Then the Lord said to Moses, "I will come to you in a thick cloud, Moses, so the people themselves can hear me when I speak with you. Then they will always trust you." Moses told the Lord what the people had said. Then the Lord told Moses, "Go down and prepare the people for my arrival. Consecrate them today and tomorrow, and have them wash their clothing. Be sure they are ready on the third day, for on that day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai as all the people watch. Mark off a boundary all around the mountain. Warn the people, ‘Be careful! Do not go up on the mountain or even touch its boundaries. Anyone who touches the mountain will certainly be put to death. No hand may touch the person or animal that crosses the boundary; instead, stone them or shoot them with arrows. They must be put to death.' However, when the ram's horn sounds a long blast, then the people may go up on the mountain. Israel as a nation The people of the nation of Israel were living as those promised by God in the covenant to Abraham "I will make you into a great nation" (Genesis 12v1). They have been on a long journey and has we have read, left Egypt under the leadership of Moses. Mosaic Covenant Details! This is the fifth covenant between God and humanity and also the second theocratic. The verses we read were only an introduction and the covenant goes on to the end of Exodus 24! The 10 Commandments are a very good summary and the book of Deuteronomy gives the greatest detail of it! This covenant commences with the stipulation in Exodus 19v5 "Now if you will obey me and keep my covenant, you will be my own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth; for all the earth belongs to me." . This covenant was to the nation of Israel in order that those who believed God's promise to Abraham could know how to live rightly before God! For Abraham was declared righteous by God, solely on the basis of his faith in God alone! Covenant Areas This Mosaic covenant covered three areas of life: The commandments were given so they would know how to correctly relate socially to God (Exodus 20v1-6) The judgments were given in order that they could relate socially to each other properly (Exodus 21v1 - 24v11) The decrees dictate their religious life so that God could be approached by humanity on His terms (Exodus 24v12 - 31v18). Of course included in here were the 10 Commandments (Exodus 20) which breaks down into two categories. Firstly identifying the God of Israel as their God, what He has done for them in bringing them out of Egypt and that they were to worship Him alone! These are the Israelites duty to their God! Then, secondly, how they were to live rightly before Him - speaking of how they were to behave to themselves and others! This Mosaic covenant however, was never meant as a replacement for the Abrahamic Covenant! By no means no! It was rather to be seen as an addition to it! It was looking forward to that day when it would be fulfilled when the long promised saviour and messiah would come. All the Covenants point towards this momentous event. A Special Nation Under the terms of this covenant Israel would be a special nation if they were obedient to Him and served Him faithfully. The Mosaic Covenant was never a means towards salvation. This covenant speaks of the living God who wants to live with His people! This was a God not made of stone or wood but the great God who desired intimacy with His people and wanted to live amongst them. But of course it had to be on His terms alone or He would not be able to live amongst them. The great and majestic God showing mercy and grace to His people Israel, who were to be a shining light to all nations of the glory of God, until the long promised saviour or messiah came from them. So, we have been through the Edenic, Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic and now the Mosaic Covenant - the story continues tomorrow! Where do you think we are going next? Thank you!

Abrahamic Covenant G'day and welcome to Partakers! We are now on day 5 of our series "Glimpses", looking at the story of the Bible in 30 days, from the time of creation through to the time of the fullness of redemption! Lets read together: Genesis 12v1-9 The Lord had said to Abram, "Leave your native country, your relatives, and your father's family, and go to the land that I will show you. I will make you into a great nation. I will bless you and make you famous, and you will be a blessing to others. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who treat you with contempt. All the families on earth will be blessed through you." So Abram departed as the Lord had instructed, and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he left Haran. He took his wife, Sarai, his nephew Lot, and all his wealth-his livestock and all the people he had taken into his household at Haran-and headed for the land of Canaan. When they arrived in Canaan, Abram traveled through the land as far as Shechem. There he set up camp beside the oak of Moreh. At that time, the area was inhabited by Canaanites. Then the Lord appeared to Abram and said, "I will give this land to your descendants." And Abram built an altar there and dedicated it to the Lord, who had appeared to him. After that, Abram traveled south and set up camp in the hill country, with Bethel to the west and Ai to the east. There he built another altar and dedicated it to the Lord, and he worshiped the Lord. Then Abram continued traveling south by stages toward the Negev. A Theocratic Covenant Whilst the Edenic, Adamic and Noahic Covenants were universal covenants, this fourth Covenant is the first covenant which is theocratic, or relating to the rule of God. It is dependent on God alone! A God, who through grace in the "I will..." statements promises to bestow blessings! This covenant with Abraham, or the Abrahamic Covenant, is also the basis for all theocratic covenants to come and provides blessings on three levels: Personal level to Abraham: "I will make your name great; and you will be a blessing" (Genesis 12v2) National level: "I will make you into a great nation" (Genesis 12v2) Universal level: "all peoples on the earth will be blessed through you." (Genesis 12v3) Initially here in Genesis 12, this covenant can be seen in broad outline, but God later confirms it to Abraham in greater detail as we shall see. The Abrahamic covenant is a link to all of God's activities and programs until the end of time. Personal Aspects The personal aspects of the Covenant, particular to Abraham are: Abraham will be a father of a great nation (Genesis 12v1) Abraham will receive personal blessing (Genesis 12v2) Abraham will receive personal honour and reputation (Genesis 12v2) He, Abraham, will be a source of blessing to others. (Genesis 12v3) Universal Aspects The aspects of the Abrahamic Covenant, pertinent universally are: God will bless those who bless Abraham and the nation of Israel which comes from him (Genesis 12v3) curses on those who curse Abraham and Israel (Genesis 12v3) blessings on all the earth through Abraham (Genesis 12v1-3) This was the first time God made this promise to Abraham, but not the only time as Abraham received it another 5 times as God gives great detail to it (Genesis 13:14-18, Genesis 15:4-5, 13-18, Genesis 17:1-8, Genesis 18:17-19 and Genesis 22:15-18. All Change! Abram, as Abraham was originally known, was weaned away from his native land by God, into a journey of the unknown! It was in this way that Abraham would develop his faith in God and use it like a muscle. In fact, when God reiterated the covenant in Genesis 17 to Abram, God changed his name from Abram meaning "glorious father", to Abraham, which means "father of many nations!" (Genesis 17v5) Reminded and renewed! So important was this covenant that God renewed it with: Isaac, the "only begotten son" of Abraham twice: Genesis 26:4 and Genesis 26:23-24 Jacob twice as well Genesis 28:14-15 and Genesis 35:9-12 This covenant gives yet further glimpses of God's essential character of grace and mercy, as well as hinting at somebody who is to come as a messiah or saviour! Can you tell how and where these glimpses are? Tomorrow our story continues! Do you know where to next? Right mouse click or tap here to download as a MP3 audio file

The concept of Covenants are very important in the Bible. They are central to the Bible's unfolding storyline, and they are central for a proper understanding of the relationship that exists between God and Man. Yet, in much of the church today, covenants are not often discussed and even less often understood. In this episode, James Kaczor gives a brief overview of Covenant Theology. He touches on the Tri-covenantal Framework often espoused by Reformed Theologians (Summary Below)Covenant of Redemption: This is the eternal agreement between the three Persons of the Trinity to redeem humanity. Covenant of Works: This is the agreement God made with Adam, as the Head of the Human Race, that promised eternal life for perfect obedience and death for disobedience. All humans who are not "in Christ" are "in Adam" and still subject to the consequences of this covenant. Covenant of Grace: This is the agreement between God the Father and Jesus Christ, along with all those who are "in Christ," whereby God offers eternal life and salvation to fallen sinners through faith in Jesus Christ. In this Covenant, God also gives to his people the gift of his Holy Spirit that makes them willing and able to believe. It is through the grace of this Covenant that all people, since the fall of Adam, must be saved.In addition to this, James spends time unpacking the successive and related Covenants that advance the storyline of the Bible and the redemptive plan of God for the world. Mainly in this order: Abrahamic Covenant -> Mosaic Covenant -> Davidic Covenant -> New CovenantThis message was first preached by James Kaczor on 6/26/2025 at River City's Thursday Morning Bible Study.

Jesus said, “Many are called but few are chosen.” For many Christians, these words of Jesus should bring a pause and consider moment. What was Jesus saying here? If we believe “God is love,” and we believe Jesus came as our Savior, do we also believe that everyone outside of Christianity, outside of this call, is lost and gone forever? Is this what Jesus was saying? If so, then how does that square with God being love? Is Jesus saying God is love, but only for the few whom He chooses, and the rest of His human creation are essentially garbage? Isn't that a massive contradiction? If we are willing to examine this statement by Jesus in the light of Scripture, we will find a completely different answer. What we will find is a logic and a harmony founded upon God's love AND His justice. This statement of Jesus appears at the end of the Parable of the Wedding Feast. To properly understand its meaning, we need to connect it with God's character of love and justice. Reviewing the Abrahamic Covenant is a good place to start. Initially, Israel was called to be the sole source of the “stars of heaven”—a spiritual seed that would bless the world. However, national rejection of Jesus meant they forfeited this opportunity. Still, they weren't permanently cast off; they remain essential to God's plan as the “sand of the seashore,” the natural seed who will bless the world on earth. The parable illustrates God's persistent calling to those who could become true disciples of Jesus: First invitation: Offered through Jesus' ministry to Israel. Second: Extended at Pentecost by the apostles. Third: Went out to the Gentiles, beginning with Cornelius. This teaches us that discipleship is not based on heritage but on being drawn by God. The “many” called spans time, culture and background, but the chosen are those who respond fully to the invitation. This call involves great responsibility. Discipleship requires self-denial, daily sacrifice, transformation and leaving behind worldly attachments. Like wedding guests required to wear the provided garment, those called must be “clothed” in Christ's righteousness. Failing to do so leads to exclusion—not eternal torment, but the sorrow of lost opportunity. Those who are chosen become part of a "royal priesthood" and "holy nation" (1 Peter 2:9), called to reflect God's character and ultimately bless all mankind. Importantly, the rest of humanity is not abandoned. Many scriptures point to a future restoration when all people will have opportunity for salvation. The current calling is simply the first phase of a broader redemptive plan that will ultimately fulfill God's promise to bless all the families of the earth.

In this first installment of the series "Why Israel Matters", we look at the eight covenants of the Bible.  In particular, we look at the Abrahamic Covenant.  In that covenant, the LORD promised Abraham several things: a great nation (Israel), blessings (material/spiritual), a great name, the obligation to be a blessing, that He would bless those that bless Israel, He would curse those that curse Israel, and that all of the families of the earth would receive a blessing.  The last promise sees its fulfilment in the Messiah (Gal 3:8). With that being said, it doesn't negate the other aspects of the Abrahamic covenant.  And as we shall see that covenant was unilateral, unconditional, and eternal!

This post discusses the implications of Genesis 12:3 regarding the relationship between the United States and Israel, particularly in the context of recent conflicts involving Israel. I question whether the passage is a biblical command that believers to bless the modern nation state of Israel. I also explore the concept of covenant as it relates to this blessings and curses provision of the Abrahamic Covenant. Covenant Significance: We look at the importance of the covenant established between Yah and Avraham, which extends to his descendants, influencing how nations interact with Israel.   Interpretation of Genesis 12:3: I argue that Genesis 12:3 is a prescription rather than a command, suggesting it reflects a reality of blessings for those who support Israel and curses for those who oppose the covenant relationship that exists between Abba Yah and Israel.   Modern Political Context: I seek to highlight the divided opinions in the U.S. regarding support for Israel, particularly in light of recent statements from political figures referencing biblical support for Israel.   Broader Implications: The blessings and curses mentioned in the covenant are seen as applicable not only to Israel but to all who enter a covenant relationship with Yah, emphasizing the need for obedience to Yah's Torah.   Covenant Relationship with Yah: I stress that the covenant relationship is pivotal for understanding the dynamics of blessings and curses, which are tied to how individuals and nations treat Israel. Conclusion on Support for Israel: Ultimately, I conclude that support for Israel should be aligned with the principles of Yah's Torah and the teachings and example of Yeshua Messiah and reflect a genuine love for His chosen people as expressed in His covenant relationship with them, rather than blind political allegiance.

Segment 1: • Tucker Carlson challenges Ted Cruz on Israel—reveals confusion on biblical promises. • The Abrahamic Covenant still stands; God's plan for Israel isn't revoked. • If you quote Scripture, know the context—big promises carry big implications. Segment 2: • Is support for Israel about the government or God's chosen people? • MacArthur: Christians have a biblical obligation to care for the Jews. • There's clarity: God has unfinished business with national Israel. Segment 3: • Word of the day: Censoriousness — being hypercritical and condemning. • Jonathan Edwards warns: a censorious spirit rushes to judge others' salvation. • Watch for petty criticisms over non-essentials—it's a sign of pride, not discernment. Segment 4: • Edwards exposes how uncharitable hearts destroy grace-filled relationships. • Do you judge people harsher when they struggle with sins you've overcome? • A jealous, suspicious spirit betrays a lack of gospel charity. ___ Thanks for listening!

Q: My question is from Romans 4:10-12. If Abraham's righteousness was based on faith and not circumcision, how might women in Abraham's time have expressed their covenant relationship with God, given they did not receive circumcision? Summary: In this episode Dr. E and Hanna respond to a listener's insightful question from Romans 4:10–12: If Abraham was credited as righteous by faith before he was circumcised, how did women—who were never circumcised—participate in the Abrahamic covenant? Dr. E explains that Abraham's righteousness came through faith in Genesis 15:6, and circumcision came later as a sign and seal of that faith. Though only males received the physical mark of circumcision, Dr. E emphasizes that women absolutely participated in the covenant. Like uncircumcised Gentiles who believed, women were counted righteous by faith in Yahweh. The sign of circumcision was given to men as a symbol of being set apart and because the covenant seed passed through the male line. But the covenant itself—and its blessings—extended to all who believed, regardless of gender. Women participated fully in the Abrahamic covenant by their belief in the promises of God. Their faith, not ritual, was what God honored. This reinforces a key biblical truth: righteousness and covenant inclusion have always been by faith. Abraham's story serves as a timeless reminder that it is belief in God—not outward signs—that defines belonging in His family. Takeaways: Abraham was declared righteous by faith before he was ever circumcised. Circumcision was a sign of the covenant, not the source of righteousness. Women participated in the covenant by faith, just like uncircumcised Gentiles. The physical sign was given to men because the seed of the covenant passed through them. Inclusion in God's promises has always been by belief, not by physical rituals. Romans 4 affirms that faith is the defining mark of God's people—then and now. Find more episodes of Ask Dr. E here.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I explain why I've shifted to a neutral stance on the Israel-Iran conflict. While mainstream media pressures us to “pick a side,” Scripture tells a deeper story, one that's not bound by modern borders or politics.Christians are the true Israel, not by race or nation, but by faith in Christ. The Church is the chosen people of God, not a geopolitical state. So why are we being told that standing with the a government equals standing with God?We'll unpack the phrase “Judeo-Christian”—what it really means (and what it doesn't)—and discuss how religiously manipulative narratives can cloud our judgment. Supporting everything any group does (whether Jewish, Christian, or Muslim) is not biblical discernment. It's idolatry.None of us are perfect. Not every Christian represents Christ well, and not every Jew or Muslim represents their faith's ideals either. So let's step back, seek the truth, and refuse to be emotionally blackmailed into blind allegiance.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

6/1/2025 Joel 3:1-2 Hosea 3:4-5 No Two State Solution! Intro: God promised in the Abrahamic Covenant they would be His people and occupy His land Genesis 12 and 15. Genesis 12:2-3 is the promise And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. 6 And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. 7 And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him. Genesis 15:18 is the boundaries of the land. In the same day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: And that means that they must occupy the land again in the last days. Ezekiel chapters 36 and 37 God tells His people that they will occupy the land again in the last days. They will be brought from the gentile nations after being scattered among the gentiles. The UN wants Two States. Israel and Palestine. It might happen. I can't say it won't…. but one thing I can say….God is not going to be happy about it and will destroy those who try to do it!

We have all experienced or heard the conversational question that sometimes gets asked when one person is getting to know another. “So, are you religious?” The response can be a myriad of differing replies, one of which is, “Yeah, I'm a Christian.” That answer usually puts the respondent into the broad and vague category of Christianity in the 21st century. The real question is, what does it mean to be a true Christian according to the original biblical meaning? If we put aside all of the tradition, all of the preconceived notions, and all of the countless denominations, what does the Bible say it means to be a genuine and sincere disciple of Jesus? Christianity is the world's largest religion with over 2.4 billion followers, but the key question is: how many are true followers of Christ versus simply identifying as Christians? The Bible explains that genuine Christianity revolves around complete reliance on and the complete following of Jesus. It acknowledges God's plan for salvation through His son. Scriptural passages like John 3:16-17 and 1 Peter 1:18-21 highlight Jesus' role as the Redeemer who saved humanity through his sacrifice. We are "new creatures" 2 Corinthians 5:17 emphasizes that being "in Christ" makes a person a "new creature," representing transformation and renewal. This is a much bigger deal than most of us think, as it has everything to do with being guided by God's spirit for the sake of personal growth in Christ and the sacrificing of our own will and desires. True discipleship requires self-denial and cross-bearing (Luke 9:23), which demonstrates commitment beyond passive belief. This commitment was foreshadowed in predestination found in Ephesians 1:3-6, which describes how faithful Christians as a class (not predestined as individuals) were chosen before the world's foundation for a holy calling. What about our own identity as Christians? Are our thoughts, words, actions and beliefs reflecting a deep and consistent engagement with God's plan? Many may admire Jesus, yet few fully follow him in action. Galatians 3:16, 26-29 ties Christian discipleship to the Abrahamic Covenant, illustrating how a true Christian inherits the spiritual promises given to Abraham to bless all the families of the earth. Christians are also likened to a "royal priesthood" and the "bride of Christ" (1 Peter 2:9-10, Ephesians 5:22-27). Both descriptions highlight our responsibility to serve God. Practical applications include self-sacrificing love (John 15:12-14) and mutual support within the "body of Christ" (1 Corinthians 12:14-20). The bottom line is that Christianity is a life of progression, sacrifice and commitment—not mere admiration.

Noah was God's chosen man to inaugurate His "new" post-diluvian world, and He chose Abram out of that world - still groaning under the curse - to be His instrument for ushering in the actual new creation that the post-flood world prefigured. This message examines the human and historical context for God's covenant with Abram, which is crucial for understanding the covenant's purpose in its own time, in the life of Israel, and in God's larger purpose for His creation fulfilled in the Messiah.

We explore the story of Abraham, Sarai, and Hagar from Genesis 16 and 17. We delve into the implications of Sarai's suggestion to Abraham to father a child with Hagar, the resulting tension within the household, and the birth of Ishmael. We reflect on the 13 years of silence before God gives Abraham a new name and reaffirms his covenant, introducing circumcision as a symbol of the Abrahamic Covenant. Lastly, we discuss the shock and laughter that ensue when God reveals that Sarah, despite her age, will bear a son, Isaac, who will inherit the covenant promises.Bible ReadingsGenesis 16:1-16Genesis 17:1-27Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

2503 - Following the progress of Leket's non-profit efforts throughout Israel, Joshua and Caleb teach on the Abrahamic Covenant, an eternal promise for a Land and a people that can never be broken by God or undone by the popular opinion of an anti-Semitic world.
