Episode 4194 │ August 2, 2026 God takes no pleasure in anyone's death. He said it in Ezekiel — the harshest book in the Old Testament. That is not the God most people were taught. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson and Brad Cummings continue the heart of God series with a deep read of Ezekiel 18 and 33 — the most scathing indictment in the Old Testament, written to a people practicing human sacrifice in the temple, where God nonetheless declares He takes no pleasure in anyone's death and pleads with them to repent and live — using it to dismantle the wrathful-God framing most American Christianity has inherited and replace it with the New Covenant reality that God is not disappointed in you because He has no illusion about you, and that His vow to write His law on your heart places the entire weight of the obligation on Him, not on your willpower or your performance. The episode moves through the distinction between transgression and iniquity, the definition of the kingdom as wherever the King is and the extension of His rule, the ecclesia as the Roman governance model Jesus deliberately inverted, the difference between mercy and grace to help, and Brad's practical framework for prayer — subordinating your list to His list, confessing the things that are actually bothering you, then going quiet so He can work. The episode closes with Brad's observation that God declares a thing in heaven and waits for someone on earth to receive and agree with it, because dominion on earth requires two witnesses — and every listener who comes into agreement with what God says about them becomes the amen that allows it to be established. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED What is the difference between transgression and iniquity — and why does Brad argue that understanding the distinction between crossing a known boundary and carrying an internal twist toward sin changes how you approach confession, repentance, and the mercy that God freely promises in the same breath as His harshest judgment? What is the unshakable kingdom — and why does God shaking both heaven and earth in Hebrews 12 represent not punishment but the removal of everything temporal so that what He created, which is eternal, can remain and be fully revealed? What is the difference between mercy and grace to help — and why does Brad argue that most people stop at mercy, the forgiveness for when you have screwed up, without ever receiving the grace to help, which is the supernatural enablement of the Holy Spirit that means you do not have to keep needing mercy for the same thing again?

At Jesus' Crucifixion and Death, the “Temple Veil” Was Torn; After Jesus Easter Resurrection, You Now Pray Directly with God MESSAGE SUMMARY: Think about the magnitude of your direct and personal access to God that your prayers give you, through Jesus, if you will only pray. Before Jesus, ordinary people did not have direct access to God, through the Throne Room of God, with a direct personal relationship with God. In Old Testament times, people would come to the priests; and the priest would offer up a sacrifice on behalf of the people. The priests, and not the people, were communing directly with God. On Good Friday and at Jesus death on the cross, the “Temple Veil” was torn from top to bottom (i.e. “Temple Vail” was a large, very thick, and very heavy barrier that divided that portion of the Temple accessible by those wishing to sacrifice for prayer and the “Holy of Holies” where the only the High Priest could meet with God and pray on behalf of the people of God.). At Jesus Resurrection, no longer was an intermediary (e.g., a Priest) required for direct prayer with God by the people in Christ (i.e. Jesus Followers). Because Jesus created a New Covenant relationship with His followers, now your prayers are in direct communion with God, the Creator of the Universe. Everyone, who is in Christ, may have access to the Throne Room of God in the name of Jesus. What a privilege this direct access to God is for those who are in Christ. The author of Hebrews, in Hebrews 4:16, tells Jesus Followers that, because of the Gospel, you have direct access to God's “throne of Grace” for your needs: “Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.". TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen. Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 129). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!

Day 1 of our story Today's story takes place in Caesarea - Acts 10:1-8. Cornelius, a Roman soldier, a Centurion, lives there. (Pastor shares pictures of this city, still visible today!) Cornelius was one who worshiped the God of Israel but was not a full convert. He and his family were devout and God-fearing. Then he receives a vision of an angel. The angel tells him to bring a man from Joppa named Simon known as Peter. We see Cornelius respond immediately to what the angel told him to do. Day 2 Story moves location to Joppa where Cornelius' servant and one of his soldiers are headed - Acts 10:9-23a. Meanwhile, Peter goes up on the roof of the house he is at and goes into a trance and sees the heavens open and a sheet with all kinds of 4-footed animals, reptiles and birds. (Unclean animals according to the Torah) Then a voice tells him to eat them, but Peter says, I've never eaten anything impure or unclean. I've obeyed the Torah! The response from heaven, three times was, "Do not call anything pure that God has made clean." And the sheet was taken back into heaven. While Peter was wondering about the meaning of the vision, the men Cornelius sent found him. The Spirit tells Peter to go downstairs to the men that were sent. They tell Peter about the vision Cornelius had seen and Peter invites them in. Day 3 Now our story goes on the road- Act 10:23b. Peter and some witness head, with Cornelius' servant and soldier, to Caesarea. Day 4 They arrive in Caesarea - Acts 10:24-48. (Pastor shares more pics of the area) Cornelius has a crowd of people gathered at his home to hear Peter when he arrives. Peter knows he's on God's mission: "You are aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me I should not call anyone impure or unclean." Cornelius retells his vision and says now they are in the presence of God to hear everything Peter has to tell them. Peter responds that he now realizes how true it is that God does not show favoritism but accepts from every nation those who know the Good News of Jesus Christ, Lord of ALL. He recounts the Gospel story of Jesus, He tells of the Savior's Good News and all that believe in Him receive forgiveness of sins through His name. Then suddenly the Holy Spirit fell on all of them, including the Gentiles. They were baptized in Jesus' name and ask Peter to say for a few more days. What do we learn from this story? Then + Now God's Agenda - God sets the agenda for His people, for individuals and for human history. God is fulfilling the New Covenant - That the day would come when the NATIONS would come to God. These are new covenant times! God Shows No Partiality - it is easy to be in our own groups and only see people like us and avoid people who don't fit our mold. But Jesus died for ALL. We are called to reach the world - therefore no partiality - God wants them all. Jesus is LORD - He is the New Covenant. Will we acknowledge His Lordship? He is the judge of the living and the dead. He is the Messiah, the Savior of the Nations, the Anointed Son of God who gave His life for all, rose, ascended and is coming back. Spirit Guided Life - God is not in a box, He sets the agenda, not us. Everything needs to be the way He deems it! Pastor closes with the questions: Are you listening to God's Agenda for your life? Do Jesus and the Scriptures inform your daily living and actions? Do you sense and heed the Holy Spirit's promptings? This week's READING ASSIGNMENT: Acts chapter 10 - 11. Now What?

The priesthood of the Old Covenant among the people of Israel is fulfilled in the one priesthood of Christ. The Catechism compares the Old Testament priesthood, “powerless to bring about salvation,” with the ordained ministry in the New Covenant. Fr. Mike unpacks the reality that there is only one true priest—Jesus Christ. His “priests” on earth are humble ministers. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1539-1545. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

If you've ever struggled to experience lasting victory, wondered why faith sometimes seems difficult, or questioned whether there's more to what Jesus accomplished than you've been taught, this message is for you. In this CyberChurch episode, you'll discover why the time Jesus spent in the grave is essential to understanding your freedom, your identity, and the authority you have in Him. You'll see how the cross, the grave, and the resurrection work together to provide everything God has promised through the New Covenant. When you understand what Jesus actually accomplished during those three days, you'll stop looking at your circumstances as the measure of God's work and begin building your faith on His finished work. That perspective changes how you face temptation, fear, sickness, lack, and every challenge of life. This isn't just a lesson about what happened to Jesus. It's about understanding what happened to you because of what happened to Him.

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, I want to know Him better (Philippians 3:10). “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14).

Inside-Out Discipleship: True transformation happens without striving when we realize Jesus (Philippians 2:13) is actively "at work within" us, causing us to desire and to actually do His will. Effortless Access: You do not have to ask permission to enter the Father's presence. Just like a child opening the refrigerator in their own home, He expects you to come freely and boldly! The Great Exchange: Stop operating under the Old Covenant of exhausting works and step into the New Covenant of grace, resting entirely in His completed work. His Faith, Not Ours: We do not have to struggle to drum up faith on our own; we are operating in the faith of the Son of God.

The chapter titles are also indexed, which is why I put scripture references and plain search language in them instead of clever labels. And I kept it to three hashtags because more than three and YouTube stops displaying them above the title.

In this message, Samuel Goulet unpacks the meaning and weight of covenant—first between God and His people, then within marriage and the church community. Drawing from both Old and New Testament language, he explains that covenant is not casual agreement but a sacred commitment initiated by God and fulfilled through Jesus. Samuel challenges listeners to let that covenant shape how they follow Christ, forgive others, love sacrificially, and build marriages marked by holiness, humility, prayer, and enduring commitment.
Psalm 51 Psalm 51 gives us incredible insight into how David viewed God even when he had gravely sinned. It's a study in the nature of our Heavenly Father. David didn't allow shame to make him cower before God. He didn't see Him as a hard taskmaster to be feared, but rather as his safe place to run ‘to; not run ‘from.' David learned throughout his life that being in God's presence was the most precious thing he could ever experience. So, this Psalm isn't self abasement from David, but instead, intense liberating repentance based on his absolute knowledge that just like us in our New Covenant reality, in times of greatest sin, we can come fearlessly, boldly, and confidently, before the throne of grace and receive God's unfathomable mercy and forgiveness.

Have you ever wondered why God has separated you, or why you cannot seem to live like everyone else around you? Many believers struggle to recognize their divine season of revelation and the fullness of God's plan for their lives. In this teaching, Servant Marcia Carty walks us through the scriptures, moving from the strict conditions of the Old Covenant in Deuteronomy to the breathtaking grace and authority offered to us under the New Covenant in Christ. Through this message, you will discover that you are not bound by the sins, mistakes, or curses of the past. By faith, the blood of Jesus purges our conscience, transforms our hearts, and equips us with divine authority over the enemy. Key takeaways from this teaching include: -- Understanding the difference between the conditional promises of the Old Covenant and the permanent grace of the New Covenant. -- How God provides a window of mercy through heart repentance and simple confession of faith. -- The secret to overcoming fear by meditating on the Word to build unshakeable faith. -- Why Jesus had to die to activate the testament that guarantees our eternal inheritance. -- The authority and power given to every believer to preach the kingdom, heal the sick, and walk in total victory over the enemy. Scriptures for Further Study -- Deuteronomy 29:2-25 -- Deuteronomy 30:2-14 -- 1 John 1:9 -- John 1:1 -- Hebrews 8:9-13 -- Romans 10:9-10 -- Hebrews 9:11-16 -- Luke 9:1-2 -- Luke 10:1-20 +++++++ We have begun building a new website which you can see here: https://www.noahdays.org/
The sermon emphasizes that the primary goal of a Christian home is to manifest peace through death to self, mirroring Jesus' post-resurrection greeting. It contrasts the chaotic family dynamics of Old Testament leaders with the New Covenant standard where elders must manage their households well. The speaker argues that true spiritual rest and victory over sin require believers to die to their ego and pride, allowing Christ's presence to reign in their relationships. Furthermore, the transcript highlights the necessity of godly discipline for children, citing Hebrews 12 to show that divine correction is a sign of love and legitimacy. Ultimately, the message urges parents to prioritize inner peace and righteous upbringing over material comfort as a lasting inheritance for their offspring.
Episode 4189 │ July 26, 2026 Is trust a choice or a fruit? You cannot trust someone unless you're convinced they love you. Most Christians have never settled that about God. WHAT THIS EPISODE COVERS Scott Kesterson and Brad Cummings open with the single question that reframes everything: is trust a choice or a fruit — and Brad's answer, that trust is a fruit grown only in a relationship where you are convinced the other person loves you and seeks your highest good at all times, dismantles the entire Old Covenant performance framework that most American Christianity is still running on and replaces it with the New Covenant reality that God has no illusions about you, was never disappointed in you, and is not running a self-improvement program but a conforming-to-the-image-of-His-Son program that He promised to finish. The episode moves through Peter, James, and John as three distinct relational postures toward Christ — the director, the beloved, the warrior — and their presence at the Mount of Transfiguration as preparation not for doctrine but for vision; the two storms on the Sea of Galilee as a live diagnostic of what you actually believe about the heart of God; the definition of humility as simple agreement with God rather than self-deprecation; and Brad's definition of repentance as returning to the highest place from which you have fallen, not groveling at the bottom of it. The episode closes on Hebrews 12 — fixing your eyes on Jesus, the Author and Finisher of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross — and Brad's closing prayer that God would give every listener a vision of how He actually sees them, because as a man thinks in his heart, so is he, and the greatest transformation available is not discipline but the tractor beam of God's presence pulling you toward who He already knows you to be. KEY QUESTIONS ADDRESSED Is trust a choice or a fruit — and why does Brad argue that you cannot manufacture trust toward God through willpower or decision-making, only receive it as a fruit grown in a relationship where you are genuinely convinced He loves you and seeks your highest good at all times, even on your worst day? What does the tone of voice you insert into Jesus saying "O you of little faith" reveal about what you actually believe about the heart of God — and why does Hebrews 1 make the good cop/bad cop reading of the Old versus New Testament theologically impossible? What is the difference between an Old Covenant response to sin and a New Covenant response — and why does Brad argue that going to God with your failure, asking Him what happened and inviting Him to fix it, produces transformation that decades of self-improvement, discipline, and performance never could?

Are You Trying to Please God the Wrong Way? Hebrews 11 is an invitation to fix your eyes on Jesus. In this message, Andrew Farley shows how the famous "Hall of Faith" points beyond human heroes to God's finished work in Christ. Discover why it's not really about the size of your faith and how everything God promised is already yours through the finished work of Jesus. Discussion Questions for Hebrews 11: Read verses 1–3. How does faith help us trust the unseen God when our visible circumstances seem to tell a different story? Read verse 4. Why was Abel's sacrifice "better," and how does Jesus give us a far better sacrifice than anything we could offer? Read verses 5–6. What does this passage reveal about pleasing God, and how can we stop trying to impress Him through religious performance? Read verses 8–12. Where might God be inviting you to trust His character even though you cannot yet see the outcome? Read verses13–16. How can remembering our better, heavenly country bring peace when this world feels disappointing, unstable, or unfair? Read verses 32–38. Why can both deliverance and endurance be expressions of faith, and how does this correct outcome-based ideas about trusting God? Read verses 39–40. What "something better" do we possess in the New Covenant that these faithful Old Testament believers never experienced?
Have you ever felt guilt about something you did or maybe still experience guilt about something you did in the past? How do we remove that guilt? How do gain assurance of our relationship with God despite doubts that may remain? These questions are all answered our focus verses in Hebrews 9 where we will learn that Christ has won us forgiveness and purity by His death on the cross. Hebrews 9:1-14
On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus transforms the Passover meal into a lasting reminder of the New Covenant. Through the bread and the cup, He points His disciples beyond the symbols to His coming sacrifice, inviting all who belong to Him to remember His grace, proclaim His death, and live in continual dependence upon Him until He returns.
In 2 Corinthians 3:1–6, Pastor Troy explains that authentic ministry is measured not by credentials or accomplishments, but by transformed lives. Through the New Covenant, God writes His truth on the hearts of His people, making every believer a “living letter” that points others to Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit The post Living Letters (2 Corinthians 3:1–6) appeared first on Lookout Valley Baptist Church.
This message is based on Genesis 13:14-17. God told Abram to lift his eyes and to look northward, southward, eastward and westward in order to see the land that God had given him. We have to lift our eyes from where we presently are to be able to beyond where God is taking us. For Abram it was the Promised Land. For us in the New Covenant it is the promises that God makes to us in Jesus Christ.
The Old Testament Passover, where Israelites provided their own lambs for temporary deliverance, contrasts sharply with the New Covenant reality, where God Himself provides Jesus Christ as the eternal Paschal Lamb. From Genesis 22 and Isaiah 53, we find that salvation is entirely God's provision, not a human effort, fulfilling the type of substitutionary atonement. Christ's sacrifice was once-for-all, rendering any notion of ongoing propitiation through man-made rituals to be entirely blasphemous. Consequently, the Lord's Supper serves solely as a memorial to celebrate Christ's finished work, rather than a means to repeat it. At the Lord's Table, we worship God for providing the perfect sacrifice that justifies believers forever.
Pastor Jeremiah Gabbard | 1Cor. 11:23 The sermon explores the theological significance of the Lord's Supper as a command to remember Christ's sacrificial death and future return. Drawing primarily from 1 Corinthians 11, the speaker emphasizes three key aspects: the price of redemption through Jesus' broken body and shed blood, the promise of the New Covenant secured by that blood, and the anticipation of His second coming. The message warns against religious traditions that obscure the sufficiency of Christ's atonement, urging believers to partake in the ordinance with a focus on scriptural truth rather than self-examination or denominational rules. Ultimately, the Lord's Table serves as a memorial of past salvation and a proclamation of hope for the future.

One of the most mysterious figures in the Bible is Melchizedek, King of Salem, who was also a priest of the Most High God (Gen. 14). Many believe he was a “Christophany”: a bodily appearance of the Christ during the Old Testament era. Is “the order of Melchizedek,” mentioned in Psalm 110, prophetic of New Covenant believers—king/priests who will minister to God forever?

In this episode of The Leader's Notebook (Ep. 322), I take you into the powerful message of the Book of Hebrews and its connection to Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. Hebrews was written to believers who were tempted to look back, but its message is clear: Jesus is better. Better than the angels, better than Moses, better than Aaron, better than the old covenant, and better than every sacrifice that was ever offered. What the Law, the Tabernacle, and the priesthood could only foreshadow, Jesus fulfilled completely through His death, resurrection, and eternal ministry as our High Priest. From Hebrews 1, Hebrews 8–10, and Leviticus 16, we discover that Jesus is both the perfect sacrifice and the fulfillment of the scapegoat who carried away the sins of the people. His atonement is not annual but eternal. If you have ever wondered whether God's forgiveness is sufficient, whether Christ is enough, or how the Old Testament points directly to the cross, this message will strengthen your faith and deepen your understanding of the finished work of Jesus Christ. No matter what you face, this truth remains: Jesus is better.– Dr. Mark Rutland Chapters (00:00:03) - The Leaders Notebook(00:00:25) - The Day of Atonement(00:01:33) - Hebrews(00:03:19) - The Book of Hebrews(00:11:45) - Paul on Melchizedek and the New Covenant(00:15:48) - The Tabernacle of Jesus(00:21:31) - Comparatives in the Book of Hebrews(00:26:25) - The Book of Hebrews(00:30:32) - Yom Kippur(00:38:28) - Jesus is Better Than Moses
The main message of this section is that the old Mosaic covenant is obsolete and that we live in the New Covenant, which is so much better. But here's the reality: for some reason, we as Christians, have a strong tendency to revert to the old covenant, back to the law. Why? Why do we do that if the New Covenant is so much better? How can we recognize this tendency and instead, live fully in the New Covenant? Hebrews 8:6-13
"Backsliding." If you've been enjoying the message related to the gospel of grace for a while, you may not have heard the word for a long time. On the other hand, it is probably a regular part of one's vocabulary if surrounded by a legalistic landscape. "Backsliding" will have various implications that are defined very broadly amongst the denominational spectrum. How does a person come to be defined as a "backslidden Christian"? Does it mean a backslider is in God's doghouse? Is divine punishment hanging over their heads waiting to fall? Could it possibly mean one is in danger of losing their salvation that was found through belief in Christ—apart from works? Let's look at this from a New Covenant perspective and scratch off one more worry from the legalistic list.

This teaching by Pastor Matt Cottrill on Sunday, July 19th 2026 explores the transformative truth that God can turn our most confining circumstances into divine opportunities. Drawing from Acts 16, we journey with Paul and Silas through closed doors, redirected plans, and literal imprisonment to discover that our response in difficulty often becomes our greatest testimony. The core revelation here challenges us to recognize that not every good opportunity is God's opportunity for us, and sometimes He closes doors we desperately want to walk through because He sees the entire journey ahead. We learn that faith isn't about knowing every detail in advance—it's about obeying what God has shown us while trusting Him with what He hasn't revealed. The message confronts our tendency to create mental pictures of how God must fulfill His promises, reminding us that Lydia's salvation came when Paul was flexible enough to recognize that the vision was about Macedonia's need, not just the man in his dream. Most striking is the call to remain faithful in ordinary spiritual disciplines—prayer, worship, Bible reading—because extraordinary moments of ministry grow from consistent faithfulness in small things. When we find ourselves in our own midnight prisons, the question becomes: will we worship before the chains fall off, or will we wait until freedom comes to declare God's faithfulness?
This sermon focused on "God's Covenant Faithfulness," tracing the story of Israel and the Jewish people from biblical times to AD 135. The discussion explored five foundational biblical covenants—creation, Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, and the New Covenant—highlighting how each one reveals aspects of God's character and advances His redemptive plan, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ. A key theme that emerged was humanity's repeated failure and God's unwavering commitment to His promises. The conversation noted that even during times of judgment and exile, such as the destruction of Jerusalem and the Jewish diaspora, God's covenants remained secure, discipline was not rejection, and restoration was always part of His plan. The sermon concluded by emphasizing that the survival and future restoration of the Jewish people serve as a testament to God's enduring faithfulness. Believers were encouraged to place their confidence not in human efforts, but in God's promises, which remain irrevocable and sure.
A bloody ear, thumb, and toe—Why?In the Old Covenant, only the natural offspring of Aaron, the high priest, could be included in the priesthood. In the New Covenant, only the supernatural offspring of the Lord Jesus, the Great High Priest, are granted this status and calling, both now and forevermore. Learn how the initiation rites for priests under the former era reveal profound truths, on a much higher level, about our priestly calling during this age of grace!

The Holy Spirit worked in the Old Covenant primarily by coming upon Prophets, Priests, and Kings. When Jesus came he brought the New Covenant and promised the Holy Spirit to indwell all believers. Verses: Hebrews 11: 13, Hebrews 11: 39-40, Genesis 1: 2, Job 33: 4, Psalm 104: 30, Numbers 11: 1-30, Exodus 31: 1-5, 1 Samuel 10: 6, 1 Samuel 16: 13, Psalm 51: 11, Isaiah 61: 1, 1 Peter 2: 9, Jeremiah 31: 31–34, Ezekiel 36: 25-28, Joel 2: 28-29, Acts 2: 38–39 Pastor: Daniel Hendrickson
What happens when we add to the gospel? In Galatians 1, Pastor Korey examines Paul's urgent warning against altering the message of Jesus Christ. The believers in Galatia were not abandoning Jesus—they were adding Old Covenant requirements alongside Him. Paul makes it clear that the gospel is not Christ plus our works, traditions, or religious performance. Salvation is found in Christ alone, whose finished work is completely sufficient to rescue sinners and bring them into the New Covenant.
Jeremiah 31 needs to be on everyone's short list of "Most Important Chapters of the Bible".
