Something Sacred

Covenantal Discipleship - Part Five

In this final episode of our covenant series we are wrapping up in Revelation, and taking a look at the encouragment found there to hold fast to our witness while also talking about what could change if the church took her role of living in covenant seriously.  As new covenant people, we are still very much at risk to fall into idolatry and waywardness. This is where John’s encouragement in Revelation offers the covenant community hope. In our own strength we will always fall short, but in Christ we are made whole. Being unified with Christ requires covenantal obedience that is marked by reverence for the Lord. Holiness requires a high degree of consecration; consecration spurred on by love for God and a healthy, necessary, fear of Him, all while staying tethered to Jesus as our covenant mediator and king.           Sources used for this series:  Alexander, T.

Covenantal Discipleship - Part Four

Today we're looking at new covenant, first through the lens of the major prophets, and then into the New Testament.  What sets the new covenant apart from the old is Christ as the sacrifice, becoming the perfect mediator between us and God, and as such, ushering in the Spirit of God to help empower a covenant people to live a transformed life, which begins in the heart. The overarching theme througout this episode, is our own responsbility to be an active participant in covenant, which requires examining our own hearts and getting serious about rooting out anything that is in direct opposition to the character of God.            Sources used for this series:  *Alexander, T.

Covenantal Discipleship - Part Three

In this episode we are looking at what scholars call the pinnacle of the Old Testament. The Sinai Covenant (Mosaic Covenant). This event is the moment when everything in regards to Old Testament Covenant is clarified and consecrated. The whole purpose of this specific covenant is “the establishment of a special nation through whom Yahweh can make himself known to all the families of the earth.” Set apart equals consecrated, and we're going to chat about what it means for us to live consecrated. Because when we grasp the importance of consecration for us as new covenant believers, it helps solidify the importance of why this matters so much for God's image bearers.              Sources used for this series:  *Alexander, T.

Covenantal Discipleship - Part Two

Today we are jumping right back into our series on covenant.  Although covenant is often understood to be a list of laws and rules, which are often seen as legalistic and binding, the covenant between God and humanity differs. Through close analysis of biblical covenants, we will see that the heart of divine covenant has always been about walking in relationship with God, knowing His character, and choosing to step into our role as His ambassadors to properly reflect His character to the ends of the earth.          Sources used for this series:  *Alexander, T.

Covenantal Discipleship - Part One

In this series we are setting out to understand Divine covenant - from Genesis to Revelation. We will encounter an unchanging God, who from the very beginning desired relationship with His created family, and proved time and time again that He would pursue them, fight for them and remain faithful to covenant - even the consequences of broken covenant - for the sake of redeeming all who were lost. My hope is - that by the end of this series, we will walk away with a fresh understanding of what it means to walk as new covenant people, we would have a new love for getting into scripture and our awe and wonder and holy fear of our unchanging God would be rightfully placed back where it belongs. That we would understand our responsibility in this new covenant and the cost it entails - yet be fully convinced that the cost is worth it.        Sources used for this series:  *Alexander, T.
