Podcasts about Covenant theology

Join Pastor Dale Partridge as he breaks down the history of dispensational theology, dismantles the myth of “replacement theology,” and exposes how the Christ-rejecting nation of Israel has been behind it all.

Supersessionism is the belief that the Christian Church has replaced national Israel as God’s chosen people and heir to covenantal promises, often interpreting Old Testament promises spiritually rather than literally. This belief is also known as Replacement Theology.

Jeff Dornik and JD Hall of Incite to Insight expose how the Christian Zionism fight over Israel has become political theater while almost nobody is preaching the Gospel, as they dig into Romans 11, Dispensationalism, Covenant Theology, Tucker Carlson, David Limbaugh, Charles Spurgeon, Darby, John MacArthur, and the uncomfortable biblical reality that Jews and Gentiles alike must repent and believe in Jesus Christ.Subscribe to JD Hall's Substack - https://insighttoincite.substack.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-jeff-dornik-show--4788100/support.Follow The Jeff Dornik Show on Apple Podcasts and leave a 5-star review.

Today on Uncommon Sense, we're taking a deeper look at the Israel-Iran conflict, the continuing questions surrounding the Epstein files, and the assassination of Charlie Kirk. We'll discuss why these stories continue to dominate public conversation, explore the political and geopolitical questions people are asking, and examine why these events should be viewed together rather than in isolation.--https://www.youversion.com/bible-app

In the Coffee House, John-Mark is joined by Brandon Adams and Benedict Allmand-Smith to discuss Covenant Theology, the Sinai/Mosaic covenant, Paul's argument in Galatians 3, the Abrahamic Covenant and its relationship to the New Covenant, and the different views on Abraham and Moses, particularly expressed in the majority Reformed view and the arguments of Meredith Kline. Swim deep in the questions of Reformed Covenant Theology at the Coffee House.Brandon begins by defining the historic “subservient covenant” view: Sinai is distinct from the covenant of grace and serves it by functioning as a typological covenant of works tied to temporal life and blessing in Canaan, conditioned on obedience. They contrast this with the majority historic Reformed view that post-fall covenants are one covenant of grace, and explain competing readings of Galatians 3:10–12 and 3:15–18 (including the “ad hominem” reading). Adams relates Kline's works-principle approach, critiques attempts to separate the Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants, and argues Paul's “promise” centers on Christ blessing the nations, distinguishing the historia salutis from the ordo salutis.

This episode covers the thought of Johann Wolfgang Jager who introduced Federal Theology into Lutheranism in the beginning of the eighteenth century.

Covenant theology is a framework for understanding the Bible that sees God's relationship with humanity as a series of formal agreements, or “covenants.” Rather than seeing the Bible as a collection of disconnected stories, this perspective views the entire biblical narrative—from Adam in the Garden to the return of Christ—as a single, unified plan of redemption. At its heart, covenant theology emphasizes that God is a promise-keeper who has always intended to save a people for himself through the work of Jesus Christ.--The PursueGOD Truth podcast is the “easy button” for making disciples – whether you're looking for resources to lead a family devotional, a small group at church, or a one-on-one mentoring relationship.

Why did the first Pentecost lead to death while the last led to life? Most Christians celebrate Pentecost as the "birthday of the church," but its roots go back much further—to the foot of Mount Sinai. In this episode of The Conquering Truth, we explore the profound biblical connection between the first giving of the Law in Exodus and the second giving of the Law through the Holy Spirit in Acts.While the Law on tablets of stone was a "ministry of death" (2 Corinthians 3), the Law written on fleshly tables of the heart was a ministry unto life. We dive deep into Covenant Theology, the promise vs. fulfillment of the New Covenant, and why the feast of weeks was always pointing us toward the substance of Jesus Christ.Thumbnail image by John Biody under CC BY 2.0Timecodes00:00 Pentecost05:17 Giving of the Law17:47 Promise vs Fulfillment25:11 Sin vs Righteousness Abounding48:29 Death to LifeProduction of Reformation Baptist Church of Youngsville, NCPermanent Hosts - Dan Horn, Charles Churchill and Joshua HornTechnical Director - Timothy KaiserTheme Music - Gabriel Hudelson

The way you interpret the Bible—specifically whether you lean toward Covenant Theology or Dispensationalism—acts like a pair of glasses. It colors everything you see when you look at a map of the Middle East or read the evening news. Your theology determines whether you view the modern State of Israel as a miraculous fulfillment of biblical prophecy or as a secular nation-state unrelated to the “True Israel” of the church.--The PursueGOD Truth podcast is the “easy button” for making disciples – whether you're looking for resources to lead a family devotional, a small group at church, or a one-on-one mentoring relationship.

In this Bible study, Dave Bigler of Iron Sheep Ministries explores the profound opening verses of the Book of Hebrews. Focusing on Hebrews 1:1-2, this session dives into the various ways God has communicated with humanity throughout history—from the prophets of the Old Testament to the ultimate revelation through His Son, Jesus Christ.Dave breaks down complex theological concepts like Theophanies, Progressive Revelation, and Dispensationalism into accessible lessons, showing how Jesus is the heir of all things and the creator of the universe. Whether you are facing personal challenges or seeking a deeper understanding of the "Book of Better Things," this study offers a strong exhortation to remain faithful and recognize God's voice in your life today.View Dave's Notes Here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qo1z5_HmPDdHfgAz6Ls1jlG4UUNmJzZmI-h0zaaLZsI/edit?usp=drive_linkOUTLINE: 00:34 – Introduction: The Call to EndureDave introduces Hebrews as a "word of exhortation." Written to Jewish believers facing intense social and physical persecution, the book serves as a powerful encouragement to remain faithful. 04:14 – The Superiority of the SonThe study dives into the opening verses of Hebrews, contrasting God's past communication with His current revelation. In the "last days"—the era initiated by Christ's first coming—God has transitioned from using many messengers to speaking through a single, ultimate source: His Son. 06:02 – How God Spoke: Theophanies & VisionsDave explores the "many ways" God spoke to the ancestors. He breaks down Theophanies (God appearing in physical form) and Christophanies (pre-incarnate appearances of Christ), such as the burning bush or the figure who met Abraham. He also discusses God's use of audible voices, dreams, and visions given to prophets like Elijah and Isaiah. 17:55 – Progressive Revelation: From Prophets to the SonA look at Progressive Revelation—how God revealed His plan incrementally over time. Dave contrasts Dispensationalism (viewing history through distinct eras of testing) with Covenant Theology (viewing history through divine agreements). Regardless of the theological framework, the climax is the same: Jesus is the "Final Word." His revelation is superior because it is the complete and perfect expression of God's nature.25:34 – Jesus: The Heir of All ThingsThe title "Heir of all things" is explained through the lens of ancient inheritance rights. In a Jewish context, the firstborn received the birthright (physical inheritance) and the blessing (spiritual authority). Dave explains that Jesus holds both, making Him the rightful owner of all creation and the ultimate head over the family of God.27:06 – Jesus: The Agent of CreationThis section confirms the deity of Christ by identifying Him as the one "through whom also He made the universe." Dave aligns this with the Gospel of John, establishing that Jesus was not a created being but the divine agent through whom all time, space, and matter were formed. This reinforces why Jesus is "better" than any created thing, including angels.28:23 – Conclusion: The Discipline of HearingThe study concludes with a challenge regarding our "discipline of hearing." In a world full of noise, how do we hear the Son? Dave emphasizes that hearing from the Lord today requires a disciplined approach to Scripture and prayer. To know the "Final Word," we must be students of the Word.Next Study: A look at Hebrews 1.3-14, exploring Jesus' superiority to angels.Support Iron Sheep Ministries: https://Ironsheep.org/donateListen to the podcast: https://anchor.fm/ironsheepContact Dave & the ISM team: info@ironsheep.orgJoin the email list: http://eepurl.com/g-2zAD

We are, by nature, very short-sighted people. We look at our lives through a keyhole, we see the crisis of Tuesday, the stress of Wednesday, and the bills due on Friday. We are obsessed with the immediate "right now." And because we are so focused on the immediate, we tend to view God as a reactive God. We struggle with what I call "Temporal Narcissism", the idea that God’s clock started when we showed up. We think God sits in heaven responding to our choices, good or bad, with some immediate prescriptive consequence or blessing. Like He is just waiting for us to burn our lives to the ground so He can come up with a Plan B, or for us to “perform well” so he can send us “good job” gifts. If we truly believe in a Sovereign God, we must embrace a much bigger reality: God has no "Plan B." only Plan A. God’s Covenant of Grace is not a reaction to your faithfulness, or your failures, or your successes, or your problems. Grace & mercy in your life is a sovereign, precise plan that that predates your existence. Today, we’ll see how God never forgets a promise, leaves His redeemed hopeless, & never loses track of His heirs, even if they’re hiding in a cave.

In this episode, Pat and Mike talk about the upcoming 2026 Pactum Conference on Covenant Theology.

Genesis 17 // Jonathan NeefThis sermon explores the profound developments in Genesis 17, where God appears to a ninety-nine-year-old Abram to reaffirm his promises. We examine the introduction of God as El Shaddai (God Almighty), the significant name changes for both Abraham and Sarah, and the institution of circumcision as a permanent physical sign of the covenant. The message focuses on the necessity of walking blamelessly before God and the assurance that nothing is too difficult for the Lord, even when human circumstances seem impossible.SERMON NOTES (YouVersion): https://bible.com/events/49556195 PRAYER REQUESTS: https://ccefc.ccbchurch.com/goto/forms/2542/responses/new26.02.01

In this conversation from Austin, Jim Cassidy, Lane Tipton, and Camden Bucey reflect on the abiding value of the Westminster Shorter Catechism as a tool for cultivating a God-centered, covenantally rich, and confessionally rooted Christian life. The discussion highlights Jim's new book, Introducing the Faith: A Study of the Westminster Shorter Catechism, which serves as a written complement to his two free Reformed Academy courses through which he teaches the Shorter Catechism (Questions 1–38 and Questions 39–106). Together, the hosts trace their own histories with the Standards, demonstrating how catechesis shapes believers in the chief end of man—to glorify and enjoy God forever. They also explore how the catechism's covenant theology anchors the church in biblical teaching, safeguarding the glory of God amid contemporary pressures. The discussion turns to the weighty task of confessional subscription—its history, responsibilities, and the risks of revision. With pastoral clarity and historical attentiveness, the hosts encourage churches and teachers to handle their confessions with both gratitude and vigilance. The episode concludes with a look at the ongoing mission of Reformed Academy and the resources being developed to strengthen the church in catechesis and confessional fidelity.

In this conversation from Austin, Jim Cassidy, Lane Tipton, and Camden Bucey reflect on the abiding value of the Westminster Shorter Catechism as a tool for cultivating a God-centered, covenantally rich, and confessionally rooted Christian life. The discussion highlights Jim's new book, Introducing the Faith: A Study of the Westminster Shorter Catechism, which serves as a written complement to his two free Reformed Academy courses through which he teaches the Shorter Catechism (Questions 1–38 and Questions 39–106). Together, the hosts trace their own histories with the Standards, demonstrating how catechesis shapes believers in the chief end of man—to glorify and enjoy God forever. They also explore how the catechism's covenant theology anchors the church in biblical teaching, safeguarding the glory of God amid contemporary pressures. The discussion turns to the weighty task of confessional subscription—its history, responsibilities, and the risks of revision. With pastoral clarity and historical attentiveness, the hosts encourage churches and teachers to handle their confessions with both gratitude and vigilance. The episode concludes with a look at the ongoing mission of Reformed Academy and the resources being developed to strengthen the church in catechesis and confessional fidelity.

Pastor Josh Schwartz and Ken Mikle talk to Trevor Rubenstein and Pastor Aaron Braaten on the intensifying worldwide hatred of the Jews. Jesus is coming back to a Jewish nation, capital, and people! As a result, they are global targets today, as in the 1930s. They also consider the decline of Dispensationalism—the one truth-telling theology that helps us understand God's plan for the last days!
