Register for Luminosity: RegisterSign Up for Prayer: Orbis Prayer Ministry Network – Receive prayer for healing, prophecy, inner healing and deliveranceDonate: Give - Orbis MinistriesIn this thought-provoking episode of God Is Not a Theory, Ken Fish and Joel Taylor explore one of the most misunderstood tensions in modern Christianity: the relationship between grace, obedience, the Old Testament, and what it truly means to live as the people of God. The conversation begins by addressing a common fear among Christians—that taking the Old Testament seriously somehow places believers “back under the law.” Ken carefully unpacks why this mindset misunderstands both the Old and New Covenants. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and practical examples, he demonstrates that God's nature has never changed and that the Old Testament remains foundational for understanding the New Testament. Together, they discuss:Why “all Scripture is God-breathed” originally referred to the Old TestamentThe danger of functionally ignoring the Old TestamentGod as Father throughout both covenantsThe meaning of holiness, honor, and representing the family name of GodThe concept of Tamim—walking upright before GodHow grace is not merely forgiveness, but divine empowermentWhy faith was never meant to remain passiveThe modern crisis of lawlessness and loss of honorAnd what the New Testament actually requires of believers living as God's peopleKen also gives a powerful walkthrough of 2 Peter 1, showing how Christians are called to actively grow in virtue, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love—not to earn salvation, but because they already belong to the household of God. This episode is both theological and deeply practical, offering a corrective to hyper-grace thinking while presenting a beautiful vision of living faithfully as sons and daughters who honor their Father.
Get the notes!Understanding the Supremacy of Christ: An Introduction to HebrewsThe Book of Hebrews stands as one of the most profound and structurally complex books in the New Testament. Often described as the bridge between the Old and New Covenants, it provides the definitive explanation of how the shadows of the Levitical system find their substance in Jesus Christ.Whether you are a pastor preparing a sermon series or a student of the Word seeking deeper clarity, understanding the historical and theological foundation of this epistle is essential.The Mystery of Authorship and ContextOne of the most intriguing aspects of Hebrews is its anonymity. While traditionally attributed to the Apostle Paul, many scholars point toward Barnabas as a strong candidate. As a Levite, Barnabas possessed the intricate knowledge of the sacrificial system required to write such a text.Furthermore, internal evidence suggests a pre-70 AD dating. The author uses present-tense language regarding Temple sacrifices, indicating that the Second Temple was still standing and the Aaronic priesthood was still active during the writing of this letter.Major Themes: The Power of “Better”The central theme of Hebrews is the absolute supremacy of Jesus. The author systematically proves that Christ is:Superior to Angels: The divine Son is the exact representation of God's nature.Greater than Moses: While Moses was a faithful servant in God's house, Christ is the Son over the house.A Better Priesthood: Moving beyond the line of Aaron, Jesus serves as a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.A Final Sacrifice: Unlike animal sacrifices that only “covered” sin temporarily, Christ's once-and-for-all sacrifice permanently removes sin and grants us direct access to the presence of God.Get the Complete Study CurriculumTo help you lead your congregation or study group through these deep waters, we have developed a comprehensive Hebrews Introduction Product Suite.

Last week we looked at Paul’s dialectic teaching in Romans 4 regarding the faith of Abraham and concluded that Paul was calling into question Abraham’s faith not verifying it. This week we look to understand what is “imputed” and how does it apply – both in the Old and New Covenants. Then we progress in […] The post 260424 Abraham Believed God and It Was Accounted As Righteousness? Part 3 first appeared on Gospel Revolution.com.
In this episode, Dudley and David Holland explore some of the most misunderstood Bible teachings around the Old and New Covenants, Israel, and End Times Prophecy. Through honest conversation and grounded Bible Teaching, they challenge the idea that believers must return to old systems, revealing how everything finds its fulfillment in Jesus Christ and the finished work of the cross.Dudley emphasizes a deeper truth: true salvation is not found in rituals, formulas, or performance, but through a restored relationship with God made possible by the Holy Spirit. What many still chase has already been fulfilled, inviting us into a life rooted in genuine faith in God, not outdated covenant systems.This conversation challenges us to rethink long-held assumptions about prophecy, identity, and connection with God, and to embrace the freedom already given.Get Dudley's Weekly Word delivered right to your inbox every Friday!

This sermon draws from 2 Corinthians 6:14–7:1 to confront the ongoing struggle against idolatry, both in the Old and New Covenants, emphasizing that believers are the temple of the living God and must therefore be separate from unclean influences. It underscores that true holiness is not achieved through asceticism or external rituals, but through the transformative work of Christ, who bore the penalty of sin and offers rest under His yoke. The passage calls for a life of deliberate purity—cleansing body and spirit in the fear of God—through ordinary means like Scripture, prayer, and fellowship, which reflect a deeper allegiance to Christ. The sermon highlights that holiness produces tangible fruit in the world: faithful marriage, radical generosity, and love for all people as image-bearers of God, all flowing from a heart united with Christ. Ultimately, it points to Jesus as the perfect temple keeper and cleanser, who alone brings holiness to completion, offering rest to those who come to Him in faith.

What did the First Christians believe about the New Covenant? I’m talking about those Christians who were alive in the days when the New Testament was being written, when they could ask questions of those who had heard Jesus speak (or perhaps had even heard him themselves). These were heady days for those folks.It does seem to me, in the discussions I have heard about the Old and New Covenants, that there is something about them that very few people have understood. But before I go into that question, I’ll have to cover a little background. So let’s discuss a couple of ideas: the concept of the mind as a closet never cleaned out and the dilemma of the double bind.Also see the following messages:A Closet Never Cleaned OutThe Double Bind

Zionism is a term that has been massively misused in the media and on social media, deceiving millions. Joel Richardson is the founder of Joel Richardson Ministries, and he defines Zionism as simply the Jewish people having a right to their own land and a right to self-determination. Joel gives key examples on how some people, especially influencers, deliberately misuse it, misleading the masses and causing major confusion both in the culture and the church. Joel explains that the negative connotation of Zionism is merely the target of baseless conspiracy theories. Key components of the original Abrahamic Covenant and the Davidic Covenant are given, along with the future of Israel according to Biblical prophecy. Joel explores scriptural truth regarding Christ's plans for establishing Israel in its entirety when He returns again.TAKEAWAYSUltimately, Israel will be replanted in their land, as the Bible saysThere are three components of the Abrahamic Covenant: the Israeli Land Covenant, the Davidic Covenant, and the New CovenantThere is tremendous controversy in the church over the term ‘Zionism'A covenant is a unilateral and unconditional promise made by God
December 10, 2025 - Wednesday PM Bible Class In this opening lecture for a new quarter-long class held in the auditorium, the instructor provides a lively, topical overview of the book of Deuteronomy. Rather than proceeding chapter-by-chapter, the course will draw out lasting lessons and themes from Deuteronomy; this episode sets the stage by answering the basic who, what, when, where, how, and why questions and by sharing several trivia-style facts to engage students. The episode covers authorship and audience (Moses as the primary speaker, with the final chapter likely recorded by another; addressed to the generation raised in the wilderness on the plains of Moab), dating (placed roughly between 1446 and 1406 BC in many traditions), and the meaning of the title (from the Greek Septuagint meaning a “second” giving of the law). The instructor also explains Deuteronomy's place as the fifth book of the Pentateuch/Torah and notes practical manuscript facts—34 chapters, 959 verses, chapter 28 as the longest, chapter 34 as the shortest, first-word and last-word markers—and how frequently Jesus quotes from Deuteronomy. Major themes highlighted include the Shema and the call to love God with all heart, soul, and strength; a second reiteration of the law; warnings against idolatry; guidance for kingship; God's faithfulness in provision; commands to remember and obey; and the covenantal structure of blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience. The instructor emphasizes Moses passing leadership to Joshua as a crucial narrative moment and points to Deuteronomy 18:18 as an early messianic promise pointing beyond the law. The lecture also sets out how the Old Testament, and Deuteronomy specifically, functions for Christians today: as example and instruction (1 Corinthians 10:6), as Scripture profitable for teaching, reproof, correction and training in righteousness (2 Timothy 3:16–17), and as a means of revealing sin and pointing to the need for Christ (Romans and Galatians references). The instructor explains that while Christians are under the new covenant, studying the law helps us understand sin, God's plan, and the coming of the Messiah. Format and tone: the class promises an interactive, accessible approach with occasional trivia, classroom discussion, and successive sessions that focus more narrowly on key topics such as idolatry, covenant obedience, blessings and curses, and the relationship between the Old and New Covenants. There are no outside guests—this episode is led by the course instructor with student participation—ending on an upbeat note as the group prepares for deeper study in later sessions. Duration 36:14
Fr. Matthias Shehad explores the baptism and temptation of Christ, drawing from all four Gospels to highlight the theological significance of these events. He explains John the Baptist's role as the forerunner of Christ and discusses why Jesus' baptism fulfills both the Old and New Covenants, emphasizing the connection between circumcision and baptism. Fr. Matthias clarifies the distinction between symbolic baptism and sacramental baptism, and the working of the Holy Trinity during Christ's baptism. The discussion moves to the Temptation in the wilderness, detailing each of the three temptations and their spiritual meanings: bodily desire, pride, and lust for power. Fr. Matthias explains how Christ's experience models spiritual resilience and the interplay between physical actions and spiritual realities. He addresses the importance of scripture in overcoming temptation and reflects on the role of angels in ministering to Christ after his fast. This Bible study deepens understanding of the early ministry of Christ and the spiritual lessons embedded in his baptism and temptation.

What are the biblical covenants—and why do they matter today? In this Ask Dr. E episode, Dr. Michael Easley explains the major covenants in the Bible and how they point directly to Jesus Christ. Dr. Easley walks through the Edenic, Noahic, Mosaic, Abrahamic, Davidic, and New Covenants, clarifying the difference between unilateral and bilateral covenants. He shows how human failure under the law reveals the need for a Savior and why the Abrahamic, Davidic, and New Covenants are central to God's redemptive plan. This episode helps connect the Old Testament to the New Testament and explains how Jesus fulfills every covenant through His shed blood. If you want a clear, biblical explanation of covenant theology—without the confusion—this conversation will deepen your understanding of Scripture and God's faithfulness.

One of the great and important Feasts of the Christian Faith is the Feast of the Circumcision of our Lord. A great question is, "Why is our Lord's Circumcision such an important event?" All of the Feasts that center around something specific that our Lord accomplished (His conception, birth, crucifixion, Resurrection, etc.) reveal to us something that Christ our God accomplished, so very necessary for our salvation. In other words, God became man and by these wondrous acts, paved the way for us to ascend with Him to Paradise. In His Circumcision, our Lord Jesus Christ fulfills the Law, bringing an end to the Old Covenant. And, later, through His Baptism (so tied to His Circumcision), Christ our God inaugurates the New Covenant for the salvation of mankind. Our Lord is the bridge between the Old and New Covenants; He is the way to Paradise.

Studying the Bible correctly requires rightly dividing Scripture, beginning with an understanding of the difference between the Old and New Covenants. The Old Covenant was conditional and based on the law, while the New Covenant is rooted in grace, where believers live as sons and daughters of God through faith. Not every biblical passage is doctrinal; many narratives serve as case studies that reveal human failure or flawed thinking that God later addresses. Scripture must be read through the lens of the New Covenant, learning from examples without interpreting every account as a directive for how believers should live today. __________ Matthew 19:3–9 KJV, Deuteronomy 24:1–2 KJV, Acts 17:29–30 KJV, Genesis 2:23–24 KJV, Genesis 3:6 KJV, 1 Timothy 2:14 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________
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!
Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com Experiencing the Spirit of Grace Over the last fifty years, there has been a remarkable resurgence in preaching and teaching about God's grace. Sadly, like so many biblical doctrines, grace has often become something people talk about—but seldom experience. I've witnessed some of the most irrational arguments over subtle doctrinal points about grace. Ironically, the behavior of those arguing usually reveals that, while they may have the right information about grace, they are not living in the power of grace! Rarely do we hear people talk about how grace is actively transforming their lives—making them more stable in their walk with God, bolder in sharing their faith, more loving, kind, and patient. What's even more troubling is that, for many, the message of grace has not softened their hearts—it has hardened them. Instead of becoming more compassionate and understanding, they've become more critical and less patient with those who do not embrace their doctrinal position. We are all given the gift of God's grace when we are born again, but that doesn't mean we've truly received it—that is, taken hold of it by faith. Until we do, grace remains only a doctrine we can discuss, not a power that changes our lives! Grace is one of the great distinctions between the Old and New Covenants. The Old Covenant describes righteousness, love, ethics, and morality—but it didn't give us the power to live them. But the grace of God makes us able! It is the power, strength, capacity, and ability that works from our hearts! The Holy Spirit is called the Spirit of Grace, revealing that grace is more than an impersonal power. It is a manifestation of the person and power of the Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit is not only our Counselor and Teacher—He is our strength. He manifests Himself within us, empowering us to live, function, and walk fully in the life of God. Join me this week as we move beyond mere discussion—into the living, transforming power of God's grace! The Kingdom of God is not in word, but in power (1 Cor 4:20). If we only talk about grace but are not experiencing the power of grace, it is mere doctrine, not life!!
In this session of the Rocky Mountain Theology Conference, Dr. Joshua Hutchens, associate pastor of Overland Church and professor at Gateway Seminary, delves into the complex relationship between the Old and New Covenants, focusing on 2 Corinthians 3–4. It explores the theological implications of Paul's ministry, the role of missions, and the concept of missiology. Hutchens discusses the challenges and unintended consequences of missionary work, emphasizing the importance of understanding missions through a theological lens. The session also contrasts different theological perspectives, such as prioritism and holism, and examines the historical context of these views. Ultimately, the session underscores the transformative power of the New Covenant and the role of missionaries as agents of this covenant, aiming to bring people into a new relationship with God.Register for the next Rocky Mountain Theology Conference at rockymountaintheology.com
God's covenant with Abraham is not only the foundation forboth the Old and New Covenants, it is central to the eternal gospel of God. In His covenant with Abraham, God announces His choice and plans for Abraham's future offspring, the nation of Israel, as well as His blessed hope and plans for all the nations of the world through Abraham's ultimate offspring, the Messiah and Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. In this episode, part 2 on our series of the Old Covenant and New Covenants, we will detail God's specific promises to Abraham in order to encourage the listener in the sovereignty, power, and loving-grace of God. Scripture referenced: Genesis 2:4, 7, Genesis 6:5-7:24, Genesis 12:1-7, Genesis 15:1-14, Exodus 3:1-22, Psalm 50:21, Isaiah 55:8-9, Romans 1:16-17, Ephesians 1:1-11
In this compelling teaching, Servant Marcia Carty breaks down the critical difference between the Old and New Covenants with God, offering powerful encouragement for believers navigating today's challenging world. The message is a reminder that God is faithful and His promises, confirmed by His own oath, are the anchor for our souls. The discussion covers: -- Individual Accountability: God established that each soul is accountable for its own actions and sins; the proverb about the father's sins being carried by the son is no longer applicable (Ezekiel 18). -- God's Desire for Life: God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked but desires that all should repent, turn from their ways, and live. -- The Failure of the First Covenant: The Israelites broke the original covenant, leading to judgment, but God, in His mercy, established a better way. -- The New Covenant in Christ: Jesus is the Surety and Mediator of a better covenant, which is established upon better promises—specifically, God's oath by Himself, making it impossible for Him to lie. -- One Way to God: We must approach God through the single avenue He designed: Jesus Christ, who lives forever to intercede for us. -- Sanctification Through Jesus: We are sanctified (set apart) through the offering of the body and blood of Jesus Christ, once for all. -- Living in the 'Days of Noah': The current world conditions of great violence, advanced knowledge (AI), and spiritual corruption are signs that Jesus' return is near. Believers must hold fast to their faith and operate in their authority.

Pastor Bruce Mejia joins us for a raw and unfiltered discussion about one of the most controversial topics in modern Christianity — Who are God's chosen people?We dive deep into:The Old and New Covenants and what they mean todayHow faith, not lineage, defines God's people in the New TestamentThe tension between theology and politics in modern ChristianityWhy some Evangelicals believe unconditional support for Israel is biblical — and whether that's actually trueThe idea of forgiving God — and what that says about modern religious thinkingThis isn't a sermon — it's a conversation about faith, truth, and how Scripture has been interpreted (and misinterpreted) for centuries.
The details of the Old Covenant and New Covenant, including the similarities and radical differences between the two, is one of the most important subjects in the Bible. When a person correctly understands the Old and New Covenants he or she is in a very solid place theologically and spiritually. In this episode we begin a detailed series on the Old and New Covenants where through it we will answer the following questions: Who or what is Israel? Why did God chose Israel? What are God's plans for Israel? What are God's covenants? What is the Old Covenant? What is the New Covenant? What is the relationship between the Old and New Covenants? What are the terms, promises, and blessings of the Old Covenant? What are the terms, promises, and blessings of the New Covenant? Who are the members of the Old Covenant, and how did a person become a member? Who are the members of the New Covenant, and how does a person become a member? If the members of the Old Covenant where chosen by God, for what specifically where they chosen? If the members of the New Covenant were chosen by God, for what specifically are they chosen? How were people saved who lived in the Old Covenant? Were they saved differently than those in the New Covenant? What are God's plans for the land of Israel? What are God's plans for a temple in Israel? What responsibilities do world-wide Christians have toward Israel today? What do these two covenants mean to God's people today? And more. Scripture Referenced in this introductory episode: Genesis 2:15-17, Genesis 3:14-15, Genesis 6:5-22, Genesis 9:8-16, Genesis 12:1-7, Genesis 15:1-21, Genesis 17:1-14, Genesis 22:18, Exodus 19:1-20:21, 1 Chronicles 17:1-15, Isaiah 9:6-7, Jeremiah 23:5-6, Luke 1:26-38, Romans 1:16-17, Romans 5:12-21
When we left off, Jesus was enjoying a meal at Matthew's house. Matthew happens to be our author, and he was a tax collector. That led the Pharisees and religious leaders to sneer at Jesus and question his disciples about why their teacher would eat with tax collectors and sinners. The setting for our passage on Sunday is still at Matthew's house. Having been questioned by the Scribes and Pharisees, Jesus then faced questions from the disciples of his cousin, John the Baptizer. His response was three cryptic parables about a wedding, a patch of clothing, and wine in wineskins. What Jesus conveyed touches on what I find to be the most exciting and compelling kind of study we can do in the Bible. Jesus, who has already claimed to be the fulfilment of the Law and the Prophets, is speaking to the connection between the old covenant, old ways, and old methods of the religious leaders of his time and pointing to the new work God was doing right in front of them. We are going to look into that connection between the Old and New Covenants (or Testaments), how Jesus redefined the work of God and the people of God, and how we can make sense of what from the Old Testament continues forward through Christ versus what was completed and fulfilled in Christ, now becoming obsolete for those who follow him.------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media Website | Instagram | Threads | Facebook | Vimeo------------------------------------------- Download our AppApple App Store | Google Play Store
The New Covenant: A Study of HebrewsIn this message from our Hebrews series, The New Covenant, Russ explores why the Old Covenant required blood and sacrifice — and what that reveals about the seriousness of sin and the depth of God's grace. Drawing from Hebrews 9, he explains how the sacrifices of the Old Testament were only a shadow pointing to Jesus, the perfect and final sacrifice whose blood brings complete forgiveness. This message unpacks the difference between the Old and New Covenants, what it means to “rightly divide the Word,” and why there truly is power in the blood of Jesus.Week 9: Hebrews 9:11-28
In this episode of Theologically Driven, Dr. Dunham joins the conversation to explore his recent article published in the Spring 2025 edition of the Master's Seminary Journal. He presents a compelling case for the Abrahamic Covenant as the biblical foundation for missions, arguing that God's promise to bless all nations through Abraham and his seed is central to understanding the church's mission today.Dr. Dunham walks through the development of the covenant across Genesis, offering a unique four-stage framework—promise, ratification, sign, and affirmation—and explains why terms like “unconditional” may not fully capture the covenant's nature.

The Hero's Journey and the Map of the Larger Story In this episode of the Exploring More Podcast, Michael Thompson and SJ Jennings dive deeper into the theme of this first series: learning to read the map of the Larger Story. Through the lens of beloved classics like Pinocchio, The Lion King, and The Wizard of Oz, they unpack the shape of the hero's journey and the spiritual landscape we all live in—one marked by darkness and light, conflict and redemption. Michael and SJ explore how the Old and New Covenants frame our understanding of the battle for identity, authority, and purpose. They reflect on personal experiences, spiritual formation, and the power of belief and story in shaping our path. With the help of the digital and physical Zoweh Map, they reveal why orientation and training are critical for every man who wants to know where he is and where he's going.

Send us a textProfessor R. L. Solberg participated in a livestreamed debate with Torah teacher Melissa Schilling Smith (aka God's Little Hummingbird) on How the Sinai Law Applies to Followers of Jesus. The discussion was moderated by Melissa's friend, Scott Harwell, who also hosted the debate on his YouTube channel. Both agree that salvation is by grace through faith alone, but they differ on what obedience looks like under the New Covenant. The conversation covers the meaning of “new” in Jeremiah 31, whether the Sinai Covenant is still in effect, the role of the Holy Spirit in writing God's law on the heart, the purpose of the feasts and Sabbaths, dietary laws, and how to understand passages like Colossians 2 and Hebrews 8. Along the way, they also touch on eschatology, the Gospel of the Kingdom, and the unity of Jew and Gentile in God's plan. This is a deep dive into Scripture, theology, and the continuity (or discontinuity) between the Old and New Covenants. The debate was recorded on August 6th, 2025.

Let's explore three contrasts between the Old and New Covenants that clarify this distinction. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/172/29
