Podcasts about better covenant

"Covenant" is one of those words we encounter throughout the Bible, but its meaning has become increasingly foreign in a culture uncomfortable with commitments that cannot be broken. We rarely even use the word to describe marriage anymore. The idea of being bound by an oath feels almost alien to most modern Americans. And yet, covenant is the most important theme in the entire Bible, because God communicates through covenants. So what exactly is a covenant? Why did God establish them? Why was a new one necessary? And why does the author of Hebrews describe the covenant established through Jesus as so much better than the first? This Sunday, we'll examine the concept of covenant, as God has revealed it in the Book of Hebrews.

Do you try to earn God's favor through good works? Hebrews 7:11-28 teaches us that a relationship with God comes through the perfection of Jesus, not our actions. We have a Better Priest and a Better Covenant. Listen to the sermon here:www.cambriabaptist.org/sermons-2/

Northwest Bible Church - Aug. 2, 2026 - Ephesians - Mike Southerland Ephesians 2:17-22 A Much Better Covenant Through Christ Intro 1. Verses 11-16 established that Gentiles have been brought into the new covenant by the blood of Christ. 2. Verses 17-22 continue that theme by showing the peace, access, citizenship, and temple blessings believers now have in Christ. A. CHRIST CAME AND PREACHED PEACE (Ephesians 2:17). 1. Christ Himself is the One in view in this verse. 2. He preached peace to those who were far off and to those who were near. 3. Isaiah 57:19 helps explain this promise of peace to far and near. 4. The peace announced in the gospel reaches both Jew and Gentile. B. THROUGH CHRIST WE HAVE ACCESS TO THE FATHER (Ephesians 2:18). 1. Through Christ, both Jew and Gentile have access to the Father in one Spirit. 2. Under the old covenant, access was restricted, but Christ opened the way by His sacrifice. 3. The torn veil shows that believers may now come boldly to the Father. C. BELIEVERS ARE NOW FELLOW CITIZENS AND OF GOD'S HOUSEHOLD (Ephesians 2:19). 1. In Christ, we are no longer strangers and aliens. 2. We are fellow citizens with the saints. 3. Even more, we belong to God's own household as His people. D. GOD'S HOUSEHOLD IS BUILT ON A LAID FOUNDATION WITH CHRIST AS THE CORNERSTONE (Ephesians 2:20). 1. The foundation of the apostles and prophets was laid once for all. 2. The foundation is the revealed Word of God given through those offices. 3. Christ Jesus Himself is the chief cornerstone of the whole structure. E. THE CHURCH IS GROWING INTO GOD'S HOLY TEMPLE (Ephesians 2:21-22). 1. Believers are like living stones being fitted together in Christ. 2. The church is growing into a holy temple in the Lord. 3. God is building His people together into a dwelling place of God in the Spirit. Conclusion 1. The new covenant is a much better covenant through Christ. 2. Through His sacrifice we have peace, access to the Father, and a place in God's household. 3. There is no veil for those who are in Christ; the Spirit now dwells in His people.

• Your salvation rests on an eternal promise made before time existed — not on anything you can see, feel, or achieve • Christ is interceding for you right now — permanently, perfectly, without fatigue or interruption • Do not drift toward the visible and convenient at the expense of the eternal foundations of the gospel • The church must recover the eternality of the gospel — the whole Bible, Old and New Testament together, tells one covenantal story pointing to Christ • God is never tired of hearing your prayers — bring every need, every petition, every burden to your eternal High Priest

July 17 2026 Friday Who Jesus Made You To Be / Week 35 A Far Better Covenant #findoutwhoyouare My Vision My vision is to teach the world Who They Are In Jesus Christ their Lord and Savior! To Teach them what the Bible says about them and who they have been made to be in the promises of God's Word. This changed my life years ago and completely transformed me from a person full of doubt, fear and unbelief to a strong confident Christian that knows I can do anything through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior. And I'm determined to teach the world what God has taught and commissioned me to teach and that is His Word.  That commission takes me to jails and detention centers weekly along with other open doors at many churches and ministries that are wanting to teach these important truths to the world. My podcast goes out 6 days a week to help the people I am ministering to grow in the truths that God has taught me for many years now. This podcast is free to all that want to listen and grow strong in who God has made them to be in Christ Jesus their Lord and Savior. My Prayers For The World Ephesians 1:15-23 NLT  'Ever since I first heard of your strong faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for God's people everywhere, I have not stopped thanking God for you. I pray for you constantly, asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you might grow in your knowledge of God. I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called—his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance. I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else—not only in this world but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church. And the church is his body; it is made full and complete by Christ, who fills all things everywhere with himself.'  Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT 'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Youar roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'

What is meant by a better covenant?

As we continue on in our study of Hebrews the author moves from the theme of Jesus' superior priesthood to the theme of Jesus mediating a better covenant. This better covenant is founded on better promises, in a better holy place, and through a better sacrifice. As we see the truths of this passage, may we be encouraged to greater faithfulness. Hebrews 8:1-7

God didn't fix the old covenant — he replaced it with a better one, sealed by Jesus, the better priest, promising a better relationship.

In this week's session of our Hebrews Bible study series, we dive deep into Hebrews 8 to explore the profound truth of "A Better Covenant." By examining the historical backdrop of the Mosaic Covenant (also known as The Law or the Old Covenant)—including its conditional "if/then" nature and the tragic historical realities of the Assyrian and Babylonian exiles—we discover exactly why a New Covenant was necessary (and planned). We unpack God's direct promise from Jeremiah 31 to write His law not on cold stone tablets, but directly onto our hearts and minds through a ministry built entirely on grace.We also tackle a vital theological question relevant to every believer today: Is God done with the Jewish people? Through anchor scriptures like Romans 11 and Zechariah 12, we confront "replacement theology" head-on, proving that our security in salvation is fundamentally locked to the character of an unchanging Promise-Keeper whose covenants are forever. Finally, we close with a powerful shift in application: moving away from exhausting, performance-based religion and into a heart-driven relationship where we obey God not to earn His favor, but as a grateful response to the love He first showed us at the cross.

March 18 | A Better Covenant (Hebrews 8) by Christ Covenant

Teaching Text: Hebrews 10:8-18 NASB,”8 First he said,“Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sinofferings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”—though they were offered inaccordance with the law. 9 Then he (Jesus Christ) said,“Here I am, I have come to do your will.”He sets aside the first (covenant) to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have beenmade holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 Day after day everypriest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices,which can never take away sins. 12 But when this priest [WHO IS JESUS CHRIST] had offeredfor all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God, 13 and since that time hewaits for his enemies to be made his footstool. 14 For by one sacrifice he has made perfectforever those who are being made holy. 15 The Holy Spirit also testifies to us about this. First hesays: 16 “This is the covenant I will make with themafter that time, says the Lord.I will put my laws in their hearts,and I will write them on their minds.”17 Then he adds:“Their sins and lawless actsI will remember no more.”18 And where these have been forgiven, sacrifice for sin is no longer necessary.”Psalm 51:16-18,” 16 For You do not delight in sacrifice, otherwise I would give it;You do not take pleasure in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit; A brokenand a contrite heart, God, You will not despise. 18 By Your favor do good to Zion; Build the wallsof Jerusalem.”GOD WANTS COMPLETE CHANGE IN YOUR HEART NOT EMPTY ACTIONS.The old covenant changes your actions without heart change = The new covenant changesyour actions by changing your heartOld Covenant: It is crazy…Burnt Offerings//Grain Offerings//Communion Sacrifices//PurificationOfferings//Reparation Offerings//Priests - Community - Tribal Leader - General Populace –Hebrews 9:9,”Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make theworshiper perfect in conscience, 10 since they relate only to food, drink, and various washings,regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation.”Hebrews 10:8 NASB,”8 First he said,“Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offeringsyou did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”—though they were offered in accordance with the law.The Better Sacrifice was Jesus- Jesus was the only one who could bring us into peace and unity with God.“Only a sinless Savior could die for sinners; only God could bear the weight of God's wrath.”— R. C. Sproul.Hebrews 9:11-14,” 11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things havingcome, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made by hands, that is,not of this creation; 12 and not through the blood of goats and calves, but through His ownblood, He entered the holy place once for all time, having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For ifthe blood of goats and bulls, and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled,sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who throughthe eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from deadworks to serve the living God?”You were bought with a very high price.Hebrews 10:9-12 NASB,”9 Then he [Jesus] said,“Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holythrough the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 Day after day every prieststands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, whichcan never take away sins. 12 But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins,he sat down at the right hand of God,“The lesser things of earth could never have never atoned for what is beyond us.“The gospel is not ‘do,' but ‘done.'”— Watchman NeeNew Covenant: Hebrews 8:1-13 NASB,” 7 For if that first covenant had been free of fault, nocircumstances would have been sought for a second. 8 For in finding fault with the people, Hesays,“Behold, days are coming, says the Lord, When I will bring about a new covenant With thehouse of Israel and the house of Judah, 9 Not like the covenant which I made with their fathersOn the day I took them by the hand To bring them out of the land of Egypt; For they did notcontinue in My covenant, And I did not care about them, says the Lord. 10 For this is thecovenant which I will make with the house of Israel After those days, declares the Lord: I will putMy laws into their minds, And write them on their hearts. And I will be their God, And they shallbe My people. 11 And they will not teach, each one his fellow citizen, And each one his brother,saying,‘Know the Lord,' For they will all know Me, From the least to the greatest of them. 12 ForI will be merciful toward their wrongdoings,And their sins I will no longer remember.”13 When He said,“A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete. But whatever is becomingobsolete and growing old is about to disappear.”Hebrews 10:19-25 NASB,”19 Therefore, brothers and sisters, since we have confidence toenter the holy place by the blood of Jesus, 20 by a new and living way which He inaugurated forus through the veil, that is, through His flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over thehouse of God, 22 let's approach God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith,having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed withpure water. 23 Let's hold firmly to the confession of our hope without wavering, for Hewho promised is faithful; 24 and let's consider how to encourage one another in love andgood deeds,...
