Are you aware that the new covenant is rooted in promises? Join Barry Bennett as he explores how understanding these promises can transform your life and empower your faith!

The Christian podcast episode "An Attitude of Gratitude" features Minister Joe Granieri teaching that thankfulness is an essential settled way of thinking for believers, positioning it as God's remedy for all circumstances, including trials and tribulations. Joe asserts that under the New Covenant, Christians already possess authority and do not need to beg God, but must actively "fan into flame the gift of God" within them. A major component of this message is the insistence on the "absolute goodness of God," stressing that God does not cause sickness, calamity, or anger toward His people. He explains that thanksgiving is the key to spiritual activation, granting "access to God's tangible presence," enabling the flow of peace during tribulation, and releasing His "creative and resurrection power." Finally, Joe warns that a lack of gratitude, exemplified by the nine unthankful lepers, actively limits the power of God in a person's life and prevents them from experiencing complete wholeness.

Packinghouse's Sunday morning worship service from November 30, 2025 Romans 13:8-14 | Pastor Ed Paul's point is simple and urgent: we owe one debt that never stops—love. Love is the fulfillment of the law; if you truly love your neighbor, you won't harm them, and the commandments take care of themselves. So wake up—our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. Cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; walk in the day—not in partying, drunkenness, lust, strife, or envy—but “put on the Lord Jesus Christ” and don't give your flesh any room. This is the New Covenant life: God's Spirit pours His love into our hearts so we can actually live it. Seize your “24 inches” today—love the real people in front of you. - Ed Rea - Sunday, November 30, 2025

For those of us who have experienced the gospel of abundant grace, it can be interesting to think back to the BG days (before grace). The Christian "religion" so often touts the need for believers in Christ to "do" things to maintain salvation and God's acceptance or approval ... while trying to work on finding the right combination of works to keep their faith alive. Bible verses get quoted with misapplied context and without people thinking them through. As the song says: Well, you can tell by the way I use my walk ... Well now, I get low and I get high ... Somebody help me ... Religion screams that we need to demonstrate an outward walk as some sort of proof of our belief. Paul emphasized that we walk by faith and not by sight. We are *gifted* with God's righteousness—justification—and salvation apart from works. It occurs by grace through faith. "Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt. But to him who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is accounted for righteousness" (Roman 4:4-5). Let's confront the fear-based notion that faith is dead apart from works. If this were truly the case, it would require the application of grace plus law; and right standing with rules attached. It not only pushes people backwards and upside down to the time of their roller coaster Christianity during their BG days, but even further back to an obsolete covenant containing the impossible Mosaic law the Jewish people were under before the death and resurrection of Jesus. The faith that saves cannot be considered dead while salvation remains alive. They go hand in hand and cannot be separated. Religious legalists will suggest otherwise, but they fail to spell out precisely what works and exactly how much is required in the New Covenant in order to keep faith off of life support. While works can be an important part of our life in Christ, the good news is that the gospel and our eternal redemption is rooted in the finished work of Jesus Christ. --Available on Amazon - "Clash of The Covenants: Escaping Religious Bondage Through the Grace Guarantee" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0713ZSKY7

The authenticity of His Priesthood is critical for authoritativeness of His Propitiatory Sacrifice by which the New Covenant was established once for all. * Today, we begin considering the apex of this book. This is to which the author has been building. Messiah - God Incarnate - came to establish a New and Living Way through the Veil by offering Himself as the Perfect Sacrifice for our sins. * Today, we see that God had many different aspects of His redemptive plan working in harmony and pointing toward the ultimate payment for our sins! * Lord willing, next week we will consider the Presentation of the Ultimate Sacrifice. Then, in two weeks, consider in much greater detail the passage that we have been memorizing to consider the Pertinence of the Covenant in the Activities of the Church. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on November 30, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

The New Covenant — Kingdom Heart (Jer 31:31-34)a. The Promise of the New Covenantb. The Cutting of the New Covenant

Sermon given by Pastor Mark Donaldson on November 30, 2025 at ElmCreek Community Church in Maple Grove, MN. Scripture: Jeremiah 31:31-34

In this powerful Advent message, Pastor Mike reminds us that no matter how heavy or dark life may feel, Jesus is the light that breaks through every shadow. Stepping in for Pastor Nathan, he brings a timely and hope-filled word to launch our Advent series, The Light Has Come.Journey with us as we explore:

Ministers of the New Covenant - Matt Charette 2 Corinthians 3

Inheritance in Christ: Herb explained that, unlike Old Testament inheritance where only the eldest son received everything, in the New Covenant every born-again believer inherits all that God has—eternal life, spiritual blessings, authority, and the Holy Spirit. Eternal Life Starts Now: Eternal life begins at the moment of being born again, not just after death. Adoption and Authority: Believers are adopted as sons of God, co-heirs with Christ, and have authority to rule in their world, starting with their neighborhood. Spiritual Blessings and Power: Every spiritual blessing, forgiveness, righteousness, wisdom, grace, peace, and purpose are part of the inheritance. Believers have freedom from sin’s power and victory over the enemy. Kingdom of Heaven: The Kingdom of God is within believers, and they have authority to bind and loose on earth as in heaven. Practical Application: Herb encouraged using spiritual authority to pray for and impact neighborhoods, resist negative thoughts, and speak God’s Word to overcome challenges. Faith and Revelation: Moving from sense knowledge to revelation knowledge is key; believers must claim their inheritance by faith and not let doubt or worldly thinking limit them. Responsibility and Dominion: Believers are responsible for advancing God’s Kingdom, resisting Satan, and setting captives free by sharing the Word. Identity in Christ: The believer’s identity is defined by union with Jesus, not by past or circumstances. All spiritual blessings are available now. Call to Action: Herb closed by urging everyone to claim their inheritance, walk in authority, and do the works Jesus did, as everything He finished is now in believers.

The Lord's Day is the Christian Sabbath.

Scripture referenced: Genesis 12:1-7, Genesis 15:1-6, Genesis 16:1-16, Genesis 17:1-21, Genesis 25:19-26, Genesis 26:1-4, Genesis 28:10-15, Genesis 32:22-30, Genesis 35:9-12, Isaiah 46:9-11, Malachi 1:2-3, John 1:51, Romans 3:22-24, Romans 4:1-25, Romans 9:6-18, Galatians 3:1-29, Galatians 6:16, Ephesians 1:11, Ephesians 3:20

Fr. Mike begins by explaining the confusion experienced by the early Christians as they struggled to integrate the Gentiles into the Church. We also hear more about Barnabas, missionary companion of St. Paul, who was named by God as the "Son of Encouragement." Lastly, Fr. Mike delves into the history surrounding paganism and hedonism in pre-Christian Corinth and the need to encourage the Greeks to leave their old ways of worship.

Kyle's away this week, so an old friend joins in. Brad Cummings was co-host of The God Journey for 700+ episodes, and joined us most recently on #1000. Many of you asked to have him back again, so he joins Wayne for a conversation about equipping people to engage a real presence when they give their hearts to Jesus. Instead of training them to be good Christians, might it be more valuable to help them learn to live from their hearts in growing communion with God? This is the essence of the New Covenant, not to be led by programs and rituals, but to connect to God's presence in them so that they can be drawn into the adventure of following him and find increasing freedom in his transformation. Podcast Notes: Sorry, we did not make a video of this podcast A Man Like No Other, which Brad talks about on the podcast The post Communing with God (#1012) first appeared on The God Journey.

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Sam Marr are going to talk about one of Zane Hodges' views. Did Zane believe the New Covenant is currently in effect? Is ministry in this Church age equal to the New Covenant or in light of it – what is the distinction? Please

In today's reading from Acts, the Holy Spirit guides Peter to initiate ministry to the Gentiles, beginning with the family of Cornelius, a Roman centurion. Upon hearing Peter preach, Cornelius' entire household receive the Holy Spirit and are baptized. Commenting on today's second reading from 1 Corinthians, Fr. Mike reminds us to pursue Christian unity and avoid the dissension and infighting we see in the Church of Corinth. Today's readings are Acts 10, 1 Corinthians 1-2, Proverbs 27:21-22.

Reading the New Covenant (or the Old) without context or having even a light understanding of the culture of the time, can leave you scratching your head over some of the things people did. Some people feel that way about Jesus as well. He was so loving and gracious and forgiving, and then He seeming get angry with a fig tree and curse it, or make a whip and drive people out of the Temple. Why did He do that? Was He in control, or did He completely lose control? That's the focus on Foundations.

This teaching delves into the profound significance of communion within the Christian faith, emphasizing its role as a direct participation in the New Covenant established by Christ. David Bradshaw discusses the “communion revival”, highlighting the healing power of the body and blood of Jesus and the importance of unity within the body of Christ. This is a call for authenticity and humility in the presence of God. This was recorded live at The Greenhouse's Phenomenon gathering in Greenville, NC in April 2025.

The power of grace cannot be overstated. Through the New Covenant, we each receive a new heart, a new spirit, and an eternal and abundant life. All we have to do is have faith, which is expressed by following Jesus. This week, we'll dig into what it means to receive grace now and forever. 

As we dive back into our study of Hebrews, pastor John Randall will have us consider some aspects of the New Covenant and show us why it's so much superior to the Old Covenant. Those that try to live under the Old Covenant rules discover it can't be done. It can't fix our problem, because we're sinful people. And the Old Covenant simply couldn't remove sin! So where does that leave us? Christ changed everything and solved the problem! To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

The Generous Heart - Part 4First Things First | Deuteronomy 14:22-29Key Question: What can we learn from the Old Testament teaching about the tithe?1. Tithing supported the leadership and activity of the Temple2. Tithing provided for widows, fatherless, and foreigners3. Tithing acknowledged God as the owner of all things4. Tithing leads God's people into God's blessing5. Tithing was a set amount - New Covenant giving amounts are less exact6. Tithing was a law-based requirement - New Covenant giving is a heart-level desire

Jeremiah 30:1–3 (Listen) Restoration for Israel and Judah 30:1 The word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: 2 “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you. 3 For behold, days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will restore the fortunes of my people, Israel and Judah, says the LORD, and I will bring them back to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall take possession of it.” (ESV)Jeremiah 31:31–34 (Listen) The New Covenant 31 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. 33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.” (ESV)Hebrews 8:7–9 (Listen) 7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second. 8 For he finds fault with them when he says:1   “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord,    when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel    and with the house of Judah,9   not like the covenant that I made with their fathers    on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.  For they did not continue in my covenant,    and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord. Footnotes [1] 8:8 Some manuscripts For finding fault with it he says to them (ESV)

We are never to approach the Lord's Table lightly, casually, or inappropriately. The Lord's Table is to be approached reverently and discreetly. The Communion table represents a holy and sacred time in the Lord's presence. The Lord's Supper replaced the Passover Meal. Jesus was modeling a paradigm shift from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant. From the Old Testament to the New Testament. From the Temple to the Church. From Priests to Preachers. In the Old Testament the sheep died for the shepherd. In the New Testament the Shepherd dies for the sheep. The communion table reminds us to look back at the cross and look forward to the future glory in heaven. 

The witness of Jesus as the Christ advances against all opposition. Intensity has been mounting against the messengers of the gospel message. Now an unexpected turn of events leads to an expected but tragic episode. Stephen introduces us to martyrdom—the ultimate price of bearing witness to the worth of Christ. The glory of Christ stands behind the end of Judaism. And to this Stephen bears witness. Here the shadows of the Old fade away by the light of the New Covenant. It is a pivotal scene in the formation and distinction of the early church. And all is powerfully demonstrated in the likeness and echo of Christ.

In this section, we see that Jesus is "fitting" to be our High Priest since He is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, higher than the heavens, sufficient in His sacrifice and sitting at the right hand of the throne of Majesty! * This portion of the writing to the Hebrews also begins the transition into the consideration of the establishment of the New Covenant via the Perfect Propitiatory sacrifice of the Messiah. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on November 23, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

As the series wraps up, we teach on the Davidic covenant and its significance to the story of God and humanity. Logan will have a landing on the New Covenant through Jesus. We end the service standing in awe of God as David did in the last part of 2 Samuel 7.  

This week at Joyland we explored what it means to live from rest as stewards of creation. When we remember who we are—spirit beings in union with the Father—rest naturally flows through us and into the world around us. All creation is alive, held in God, and waiting to awaken with us as we call it back into alignment through Love. As we know Love and become Love, we carry remembrance into creation and help the cosmos rediscover its original identity and song.

The opening session of Camp Meeting 2025 brought a refreshing outpouring of God's word that stirred our hearts toward deeper devotion; reminding us that while the Old Covenant operated through external regulations, the New Covenant introduces us to the divine Regulator Himself: the Holy Spirit, who empowers both our will and our walk.Once, we were far from God, living under the weight of rules we could not fulfill. But now, through Christ, we have been brought near. Our minds are being renewed, and the enemy no longer holds a stake in our thoughts. In this renewed state, we discover what David expressed in Psalm 27: true satisfaction is found in God alone. Devotion ceases to be a duty and becomes a deep, genuine desire.At its heart, devotion is conscious fellowship with God. He didn't just change our eternal destination, He transformed our very hearts, drawing us into intimate communion with Himself.

In this session, Pastor Nelson taught on the Old and New Covenants, showing the absolute superiority of the New Covenant in Christ.The ministry of Moses pointed to Jesus, but Christ is the fulfilment—the greater Mediator who deserves far more glory. His sacrifice is unlike the repeated sacrifices of the old covenant; His own spotless blood established a better covenant, perfect and final. Now our confidence before God rests not on our performance but on His mediation. His blood speaks a better word.In the old covenant, the law was written on stone, reflecting hard hearts. In the new covenant, God writes His law on our hearts—softening, transforming, and empowering us by His Spirit.Be blessed as you listen to this sermon!

This session was a powerful reminder that our relationship with God is covenant-based, not feeling-based. We relate to Him on the grounds of the blood of Jesus, not emotions or performance, and that blood remains the foundation of our access.The New Covenant gives a far greater relationship than the Old. Instead of relating to God through rituals and distance, we now stand before Him with boldness and confidence.And because of Christ's finished work, we enjoy permanent, uninterrupted access to the Father through the Spirit.Be blessed as you listen to the

Episode 3 Joel explains why Christians are so attracted to living by the Law instead of by the freedom that comes from being under Grace, which is the New Covenant.

“The New Covenant at Home Week Eight” by Melanie Bertoglio. The post The New Covenant at Home Week Eight appeared first on Christian Ministries Church.

In this sermon, pastor Matt considers the purpose and permanence of God's covenant with David, reminding us that the church of God is secure for the throne of his Christ endures. The good news is that in Jesus Christ, God has kept every one of his covenant promises, and those who belong to God's exalted king become partakers of those promises.

Today's question, "Why read the Old Testament" is often asked by church going people. It is often stated this way:     ⁃    The Old Testament is so hard to understand.     ⁃    I like the New Testament better than the Old.     ⁃    God seems so angry and mean in the Old.     ⁃    Hasn't the New Testament replaced the Old?     ⁃    All those animal sacrifices are a huge turn off. Why read the Old Testament? Here are four main themes which Pastor will use to answer today's question:     ⁃    Revelation     ⁃    Foundation     ⁃    Confirmation     ⁃    Salvation Revelation: God reveals Himself, the past, the future, His plan, His character:     ⁃    All Scripture is God-breathed. God breaths life. The Old Testament is God's Living word, it's Him speaking, His breath - a God-breathed book.     ⁃    The Old Testament is for future generations - 1 Corinthians 10:11 tells us, "These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the culmination of the ages has come." The Old Testament is for all generations. It's not out of date and aids us in understanding the time in which we live.     ⁃    The Old Testament is for our instruction. Not just the story of people from long ago, it is for our instruction. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."     ⁃    The Old Testament is revealing God's character. It shows us what God is like. It's a record of thousands of years and we see His patience with a goal of bringing people back to Himself. Exodus 34:6-7 "And He passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, "The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, maintaining love to thousands and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin." God's character is good. Foundation:     ⁃    The Old Testament shows God is our Creator. Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."      ⁃    The Old Testament shows the Sin-Death connection. Death is not natural it is a result of rebellion against God. Genesis 2:16-17 - sin brings death.     ⁃    The Old Testament shows the need for Sacrifice. Genesis 3:21. An innocent animal had to die to clothe Adam and Eve after they sinned. Salvation requires an innocent victim to die for sin.     ⁃    The Old Testament shows Grace and Faith. What saves is God's grace and our response of faith. Genesis 15:6.  Confirmation: The Old Testament confirms what we read in the New Testament.     ⁃    The Old Testament points to Christ. It carries a unified theme that points us to the One that was promised, the One who would defeat the devil. John 5:39-40. Luke 24:27 "And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, Jesus explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning Himself."     ⁃    The Old Testament points to the Son of Man. Jesus' favorite term for Himself. Daniel 7:13-14. The Old Testament reveals Jesus.     ⁃    The Old Testament points to the cross. 1 Peter 1:10-11 "Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the suffering of the Messiah and the glories that would follow."      ⁃    The Old Testament points to the resurrection of Jesus. Luke 24:46-47. Salvation:     ⁃    The Old Testament makes us wise for salvation. 2 Timothy 3:15 "…from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus."      ⁃    The Old Testament makes the New Covenant clear. The definition for the word "testament" has changed over the last several hundred years. Testament originally meant "a covenant."  Jeremiah 31:31 "The days are coming," declares the Lord, "when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the People of Judah."      ⁃    The Old Testament makes Messiah's death our's. Isaiah 53:4-5.      ⁃    The Old Testament makes the world's future clear. Philippians 2:10-11 "…at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."  Isiah 45:23 the Living God says, "By Myself I have sworn, My mouth has uttered in all integrity a word that will not be revoked; before Me every knee will bow; by me every tongue will swear."  Why should I read the Old Testament? Because God speaks in it! Let Him speak to you through ALL of His Word. Now What? Learn about God at https://www.awakeusnow.com EVERYTHING we offer is FREE.

As we begin reading the Gospel of Luke, Fr. Mike draws our attention to Mary. He clarifies the difference between Zechariah's response and Mary's response to the angel Gabriel, and also explains why Mary is the Ark of the new Covenant.
