Podcasts about Covenant

What happens when we stop asking what we want and start seeking the place where God chooses to dwell? 1 Kings Chapter 8 reveals one of the most powerful moments in the entire Bible: the dedication of Solomon's Temple and the moment the glory of God fills the House. In this chapter of Prophets of Israel Daily, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore the meaning of the Shechina, the cloud that fills the Temple, and why this moment connects directly back to the Tabernacle in the wilderness. In this chapter learn: • Solomon brings the Ark of the Covenant into the Holy of Holies. • The cloud of the Shechina fills the Temple and the priests cannot stand to minister. • Jeremy and Ari explore the connection between Solomon's Temple and the Tabernacle of Moses. • Why did Solomon describe the Arafel (עֲרָפֶל) and the cloud surrounding the Temple? • David's dream of building the Temple is finally fulfilled through his son Solomon. • Why Jerusalem became the place God chose for His dwelling place. • The Ark and the tablets of the Ten Commandments connect the Temple back to Sinai. • A powerful reflection on how one generation carries the dream while another generation fulfills it.

Redemption is the undoing of the fall of mankind through a series of covenants leading us to the New Covenant with Jesus the Son of God.  He is our hope and our redemption.

Fr. Mike takes us through the last chapter of Daniel and explains how Daniel models for us on how to live in exile and still be faithful to the Lord. We also see in Jeremiah the Lord promise a new covenant that will ultimately be fulfilled in Jesus Christ. Today's readings are Jeremiah 31, Daniel 14, and Proverbs 16:21-24.

What if the marriage at the center of your family is actually the foundation of your entire family legacy? In this episode of Abraham's Wallet, Steve Manuel and Mark Parrett explore marriage as a biblical covenant—not simply a contract between two people—and why protecting that covenant matters for Christian families who want their faith, culture, and wealth to endure for generations. They discuss why divorce can affect far more than finances, how a broken marriage can disrupt family culture, and why husbands need to take their marriage vows seriously. The conversation also explores what Scripture teaches about covenant, the role of God as witness to marriage, and why marriage should be treated as a lifelong commitment even when circumstances become difficult. Mark breaks down four practical ways husbands can protect the marriage covenant: provision, community, capacity, and lordship. Together, they examine what it means to provide for your family, choose a community that strengthens marriage, protect your wife's capacity, and lead your household with both humility and biblical authority. If you're a Christian husband or father thinking beyond yourself and trying to build a family legacy that can last for generations, this conversation is for you.

This week we are reading a double Torah portion. The reading portions are called Nitzavim and Vayelech, and together they cover Deuteronomy 29:10–31:30. They capture Moses's final charge to the assembled Israelites as his life nears its end. For the last time as their leader, Moses exhorts them to commit themselves to an enduring covenant with God. Moses transfers leadership to Joshua and arranges for the written law to be preserved alongside the Ark of the Covenant.Although much of God's covenant with his people was revolutionary, the literary framework in which Moses presented it was familiar to the Israelites. In fact, the covenant was arranged in a format that any nation in the ancient Near East would have recognized. This understanding, that the covenant is following a common format, is something relatively new to biblical historians. Only in the last century have we learned a great deal about bilateral covenant-making in the ancient Near East.Support the showConsider donating (one-time or recurring) to www.TheJerusalemConnection.us so we can continue to bring valuable content via podcasts free to the public.

Wedding culture tells women to get “wedding ready”—lose the weight, tone the arms, fit the dress, plan the perfect day, and somehow make it all look effortless. But what if God is inviting us to prepare for something much deeper than a wedding? In this episode, I'm joined by bride-to-be Nicole Maxson for an honest conversation about preparing for marriage, navigating body image and comparison, and resisting the pressure to “sweat for the wedding.”What you'll learn:The difference between preparing for a wedding and preparing for a marriageHow Proverbs 24:27 can change the way we think about preparation and building a strong foundationHow to navigate body comparison and the pressure to look “wedding ready”How to examine the heart posture behind exercise and healthy habitsHow social media, Pinterest, and other people's opinions can fuel comparison during wedding planningHow to steward your body for God's glory without slipping into restriction, obsession, or controlWhy sustainable habits matter more than changing your body for one highly photographed dayHow to keep Christ, covenant, and gratitude at the center of the bridal seasonReady to find food freedom in Christ?

The Messenger of the {New} Covenant {Jesus} Is Coming – Is He Coming to Purify You or to Judge You? MESSAGE SUMMARY: The people, in God's Judgment articulated in Malachi 3:5, are the people of God. These people are not the unbelievers; these are the people that say they are following God. Malachi 3:5, articulates those transgressions, including the absence of a “fear of the lord”, in which God: “will draw near to you for judgment. I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, against the adulterers, against those who swear falsely, against those who oppress the hired worker in his wages, the widow and the fatherless, against those who thrust aside the sojourner, and do not fear me, says the LORD of hosts.” To this end, Paul reminds us again in Romans 2:4-5 of a pathway to or away from God's Judgment: “Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God's kindness is meant to lead you to repentance? But because of your hard and impenitent heart you are storing up wrath for yourself on the day of wrath when God's righteous judgment will be revealed.". Additionally, in Proverbs 1:7 we find that the “fear of the Lord” provides us with “wisdom”. On the other hand and in the absence of our “fear of the Lord”, Proverbs 1:7 tells us that we are “foolish”: “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction.”. The messenger of the Covenant is coming – He is coming to either purify you or to judge you.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Father, I confess that when difficulties and trials come into my life, large or small, I mostly grumble and complain. I realize the trials James talks about are not necessarily “walls,” but they are difficult to bear, nonetheless. Fill me with such a vision of a transformed life, O God, that I might actually consider it “pure joy” when you bring trials my way. I believe, Lord. Help my unbelief. In Jesus' name, amen.     Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 94). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, Nothing compares with knowing Jesus (Philippians 2:14). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14). SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Exodus 19:5-6; Romans 11:25-32; Mark 14:22-25; Psalms 67b:13-24. A WORD FROM THE LORD WEBSITE: www.AWFTL.org.

In this 1 Samuel 5 Bible study, Pastor David Maestas walks through the fascinating story of the Ark of the Covenant and Dagon and what it teaches us about God's sovereignty, God's power, idolatry, trusting God, and surrendering control. What happens when we forget that God is capable of handling what we cannot? Why do we exhaust ourselves trying to control circumstances, people, and outcomes that ultimately belong to Him? And what are the modern-day idols we may be trusting alongside God? 1 Samuel 5 reminds us that God does not need our help to remain sovereign. He is not threatened by false gods, human power, difficult circumstances, or situations that appear completely out of control. Whether you're struggling with control, anxiety, trusting God, surrender, waiting on God, or circumstances you simply cannot fix, this passage offers a powerful reminder that God is still on the throne.

Why did God place the Ten Commandments inside the Ark of the Covenant—and then cover them with the mercy seat and sacrificial blood?In this episode of Shadows to Substance, Pastor George Sayour examines one of the clearest pictures of law, grace, and redemption in the Old Testament.From the tablets of the Law to the mercy seat and sacrificial blood, the Ark points beyond itself to the fulfillment found in Christ. Drawing from Exodus 25, Hebrews 9–10, John 1, Matthew 5, and Romans 10, George shows how the Mosaic Covenant's types and shadows anticipate the substance: Christ fulfilling the Law, providing atonement for sin, and giving righteousness to those who receive Him by faith.

Exodus 24:1–18 (NKJV)1 Now He said to Moses, “Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and worship from afar. 2 And Moses alone shall come near the Lord, but they shall not come near; nor shall the people go up with him.”3 So Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord and all the judgments. And all the people answered with one voice and said, “All the words which the Lord has said we will do.” 4 And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord. And he rose early in the morning, and built an altar at the foot of the mountain, and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel. 5 Then he sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of oxen to the Lord. 6 And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins, and half the blood he sprinkled on the altar. 7 Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people. And they said, “All that the Lord has said we will do, and be obedient.” 8 And Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant which the Lord has made with you according to all these words.”9 Then Moses went up, also Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, 10 and they saw the God of Israel. And there was under His feet as it were a paved work of sapphire stone, and it was like the very heavens in its clarity. 11 But on the nobles of the children of Israel He did not lay His hand. So they saw God, and they ate and drank.12 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Come up to Me on the mountain and be there; and I will give you tablets of stone, and the law and commandments which I have written, that you may teach them.”13 So Moses arose with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up to the mountain of God. 14 And he said to the elders, “Wait here for us until we come back to you. Indeed, Aaron and Hur are with you. If any man has a difficulty, let him go to them.” 15 Then Moses went up into the mountain, and a cloud covered the mountain.16 Now the glory of the Lord rested on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. And on the seventh day He called to Moses out of the midst of the cloud. 17 The sight of the glory of the Lord was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel. 18 So Moses went into the midst of the cloud and went up into the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

Bobbi brings us the Message recorded live at Covenant. 

Romans 2:12–29 shows that conscience, knowledge, and religious rituals cannot make us right with God. Everyone has some awareness of right and wrong, but none of us consistently lives up to even our own standards. Knowing Scripture and correct doctrine is important, but simply knowing the truth is not enough if we don't live it. In the same way, outward religious practices like baptism, traditions, and ceremonies have value, but they cannot replace genuine faith and a transformed heart. Paul's point is that we cannot rescue ourselves through being good, knowing the Bible, or practicing religion. When we trust those things, they can actually lead to pride and hypocrisy because we begin judging others while overlooking our own failures. What we truly need is Jesus. God isn't looking merely for outward religious behavior; He wants inward transformation. Our hope is not in how much we know or what religious things we do, but in Christ's grace that forgives us, changes our hearts, and makes us children of God.

Pastor Jared delivers a message about what it means to truly worship God—not just through our songs, but through a life of surrender and obedience. We are called to approach a holy God with reverence, while remembering that through Jesus, we have been made worthy to enter His presence. He is holy. He is worthy. He is Lord. So the question is: How are you approaching worship?Live surrendered. Worship with reverence. And never forget that our access to God is only because of Jesus Join us Sundays at 9AM or 11AM!

AM Sermon

A @Christadelphians Video: [Inspiring] In this thought-provoking and outstanding exposition, we delve into one of the most revealing themes of Scripture – the identity of God's promised King and the establishment of His eternal Kingdom on earth. From the ancient prophecies given to Judah and David, to Nebuchadnezzar's magnificent dream and the powerful symbolism of the stone cut without hands, this presentation weaves together the golden thread of Biblical promise. It is a wonderful, insightful journey that uncovers how the coming King – Jesus Christ – will reign from Jerusalem, bring peace to the nations, and fulfil the covenant made to Abraham. Whether you are new to these truths or have long cherished them, this video will strengthen your faith and inspire a deeper commitment to the hope of the Gospel.We invite you to watch, reflect, and share in the joy of God's unfolding purpose.**

Joshua 24:1-28 We're all familiar with agreements. We sign them, we make them verbally, etc. But what about covenants? We might be prone to equate the two, but they're not the same. Joshua calls the people to covenant with God as he gives his final address. So, what was this covenant? And what can we take away today as we consider this covenant? We consider those questions as Pastor Sam continues his series in Joshua.

Jesus Christ came as much to bring together under one ALL that were willing. Even so, from the very first, one's decision to DISOBEY is itself DIVISIVE. One God, one Holy Spirit, one Jesus Christ! CONTACT US: Covenants.llc1@yahoo.com: CovenantsOnLine.com: @COVENANTS; or call 304.528.9220.

Song of Solomon 4 celebrates the beauty, security, and exclusivity of covenant love within marriage. In this episode of Reading the Bible Daily with Dave, Dave Jenkins explains how this chapter calls husbands and wives to honor one another, protect purity, delight in faithful commitment, and reflect the steadfast love of God. Covenant love is not casual, degrading, or self-centered. It is marked by dignity, encouragement, faithfulness, and joyful commitment. Ultimately, the chapter points us beyond human marriage to Christ, the faithful Bridegroom who loves and keeps His church forever.

The promised land of intimacy is not a quiet house. It is a payout. You walk in looking for the land of milk and honey embodied within a person. Someone to end the wandering. Someone to cash the check the first house bounced. Metaphorically speaking, Egypt is or was that first house. First deep love and first fracture in the same hands. Parental potters, works in progress, missing chances to love on you and tend what you needed. You loved them and quietly loathed them in the same breath. You lowered the price of being shaped. The labor was the cost of the strategy you had to develop, which let you keep the love for the parental potter's hands while surviving the mess their brokenness created within the environment and within your chest. Canaan is the fantasy that one later body will be the exodus. Disney named it happily ever after. Spacious. Sweet. Rest from that labor. Needs that no longer have to go on sale. No more exposure. No more self-knowledge. Happily ever after shirks the responsibility of a holographic relational environment. That environment is a crucible. Psychological nudity. Being known without a costume. The credits roll so you never have to stand in that. Inheritance, as if a vow sworn to a people could be performed by a spouse. You call that chemistry, destiny, finally. Intuition says I can rest now. Ask which climate trained that rest. The potter's house or here. Authority sold you settlement as love, then sold you the ending. Reason says one finite person cannot flow with milk and honey on command, and cannot cancel the crucible. Canaan in a couple is destination-logic, not peace-logic. In the text the land is sworn possession, deliverance into fruit after barrenness, pasture after scarcity, rest from war. Cities you did not build. Wells you did not dig. Vineyards you did not plant. Eat, be full, do not forget. That cargo gets dropped on a lover and renamed happily ever after. They will see you so the first invisibility dies. They will stay so the first leaving gets reversed. They will tend what the first potters missed. Conflict then feels like eviction from the land. Ordinary human limit feels like exile, like having to raise the price of yourself again. Peace becomes a product you buy with silence, sex, image, or church. You were not relating. You were occupying. The land already had people in it. Promise arrives with contest. Spies taste the fruit and still panic at the giants. Watch what you do after closeness. That is the empirical test. Do you soften into here, or do you scan for proof the giants are gone, the old quota is canceled, and the story has finally gone to credits. Their actual life becomes what must be driven out so your hunger can settle. A healthy bond is the anti-promised land because it refuses to hire one nervous system to finish the potter's job and refuses to play happily ever after with a human being. Presence is not a refund for Egypt. Relating is not collection for missed tending. Happily ever after is how the mask avoids psychological nudity. A kiss cannot annex a past. A vow cannot unwrite a childhood. The vows you can keep are smaller and harder. Tell the truth. Do not vanish. Do not turn their life into your territory. Stay in the exposure. Stay in the crucible. Covenant in the book can be lost. Exile sits in the same library as milk and honey. So can the marriage that was asked to be Canaan. The mask that will fight this hour is simple. I am the one who is owed rest from the labor of being shaped. I am the one who is owed a land that flows and a story that ends. If I drop that, I do not know who I am. Name one result that would change your mind. If you cannot, you are not inquiring. You are defending the deed. Are you with them in this room, or are you occupying them as the last Canaan that might still make you whole, waiting for them to keep a promise they never made, in a land they are not.

The credits roll so you never have to stand in that. Inheritance, as if a vow sworn to a people could be performed by a spouse. You call that chemistry, destiny, finally. Intuition says I can rest now. Ask which climate trained that rest. The potter's house or here. Authority sold you settlement as love, then sold you the ending. Reason says one finite person cannot flow with milk and honey on command, and cannot cancel the crucible. Canaan in a couple is destination-logic, not peace-logic. In the text the land is sworn possession, deliverance into fruit after barrenness, pasture after scarcity, rest from war. Cities you did not build. Wells you did not dig. Vineyards you did not plant. Eat, be full, do not forget. That cargo gets dropped on a lover and renamed happily ever after. They will see you so the first invisibility dies. They will stay so the first leaving gets reversed. They will tend what the first potters missed. Conflict then feels like eviction from the land. Ordinary human limit feels like exile, like having to raise the price of yourself again. Peace becomes a product you buy with silence, sex, image, or church. You were not relating. You were occupying. The land already had people in it. Promise arrives with contest. Spies taste the fruit and still panic at the giants. Watch what you do after closeness. That is the empirical test. Do you soften into here, or do you scan for proof the giants are gone, the old quota is canceled, and the story has finally gone to credits. Their actual life becomes what must be driven out so your hunger can settle. A healthy bond is the anti-promised land because it refuses to hire one nervous system to finish the potter's job and refuses to play happily ever after with a human being. Presence is not a refund for Egypt. Relating is not collection for missed tending. Happily ever after is how the mask avoids psychological nudity. A kiss cannot annex a past. A vow cannot unwrite a childhood. The vows you can keep are smaller and harder. Tell the truth. Do not vanish. Do not turn their life into your territory. Stay in the exposure. Stay in the crucible. Covenant in the book can be lost. Exile sits in the same library as milk and honey. So can the marriage that was asked to be Canaan. The mask that will fight this hour is simple. I am the one who is owed rest from the labor of being shaped. I am the one who is owed a land that flows and a story that ends. If I drop that, I do not know who I am. Name one result that would change your mind. If you cannot, you are not inquiring. You are defending the deed. Are you with them in this room, or are you occupying them as the last Canaan that might still make you whole, waiting for them to keep a promise they never made, in a land they are not.

The enemy will speak. The question is: what will you say next?In the final episode of How to Win, Dr. Terry Mize shows believers how to hold fast to the Word of God when fear, pressure, and the circumstances of life try to steal it.Saul and Israel's army knew God's promises, but fear had silenced them. David remembered his covenant, answered Goliath, and ran toward the battle. He did not trust in his own strength—he declared what God had said and knew the battle belonged to the Lord.Terry explains how David's five smooth stones picture the weapons God has given every believer: the Name, the Blood, the Word, covenant, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus followed the same pattern when Satan tempted Him, answering every attack with, “It is written.”In this episode, you'll discover:• Why knowing the Word is not the same as using it• Why there must be a “then says you” when the enemy speaks• What David understood about covenant• How the Name, the Blood, the Word, covenant, and the Holy Spirit work together• Why the battle belongs to the Lord• How Jesus defeated temptation with “It is written”• How to keep speaking and standing until you winKey Scriptures: 1 Samuel 17:23–51; Exodus 14:13–14; 2 Chronicles 20:15–17; Deuteronomy 8:3; Deuteronomy 6:13, 16; Galatians 3:13–14, 29; Psalm 91.Website: https://terrymize.comPartner: https://terrymize.com/giveYouTube: https://youtube.com/user/terrymizeministriesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/terrylmize/Podcast: https://terrymize.com/podcast#terrymize #morethanconquerors #terrymizeministries #faith #wordofgod #spiritualwarfare

What does it mean to be a good man? In this episode, Dru Johnson talks with Professor Nancy Pearcey about masculinity, toxic masculinity, feminism, fatherhood, Christianity, and the cultural forces that have shaped modern ideas about men.Pearcey explains why she wrote her book on masculinity after seeing increasingly hostile portrayals of men in popular culture and explores the deeper history behind these attitudes. Rather than tracing hostility toward men only to second-wave feminism, she argues that its roots extend back to the Industrial Revolution and changing ideas about work, family, masculinity, and human nature.The conversation examines how Darwinism and evolutionary psychology have contributed to negative cultural scripts about male aggression, sexuality, and dominance—and how those ideas can help explain the appeal of figures such as Andrew Tate. Pearcey also discusses research suggesting that Christian men can be loving husbands, engaged fathers, and committed family members.The episode explores the importance of recovering a healthier vision of biblical masculinity centered on responsibility, virtue, service, protection, provision, fatherhood, and family. It also considers how working from home, integrating family and work, and reconnecting fathers with their children could help reshape modern family life.Order Professor Nancy Pearcey's book here: https://bakerpublishinggroup.com/products/9780801075735_the-toxic-war-on-masculinityProfessor Nancy Pearcey's website: https://www.nancypearcey.com/Contact us at The Biblical Mind: Click HereWe are listener supported.

Spirit of God E6 — In the biblical story, God's Spirit fills specific characters. They are to lead and organize Israel, to be priestly mediators of God's covenant, and to prophetically speak God's words to the people. We're calling the Spirit's special anointing on these prophet-priest-kings, “the Spirit of the messiah.” In this episode, Jon and Tim explore the Spirit of the messiah in King Saul and King David,  two very different portraits of a Spirit-filled ruler. CHAPTERS Recap and Setup for Saul and David (0:00-12:13) The Spirit Rushing on Corrupt Saul (12:13-33:43) An Anointing Spirit for David and a Bad Spirit for Saul  (33:43-49:18) The Power of the Spirit and a God-Aligned Heart (49:18-1:01:21) OFFICIAL EPISODE TRANSCRIPT View this episode's official transcript. REFERENCED RESOURCES The First Book of Samuel (New International Commentary on the Old Testament) by David Toshio Tsumura Correction: in chapter 3 of this episode, Tim accidentally cites 1 Samuel 13:15 as the place where Samuel says “the LORD has sought for Himself a man after his own heart.” This sentence actually appears in 1 Samuel 13:14. Correction: also in chapter 3 of, Tim accidentally cites 1 Samuel 15:22 as the place where Samuel says “You, Saul, have rejected the word of Yahweh. Just like the people rejected me by choosing a king, now you, their king, have rejected me, and so he rejects you from being their king.” This sentence actually appears in 1 Samuel 15:23.
