Sermons About Covenant
The New Covenant
Jeremiah wasn't just a bullfrog, he was the weeping prophet of God. Who was this man and why was he weeping? What impact did he have when he was alive? How does this apply today? A Biblical covenant is a binding relationship that God promises to bless and His people promise to obey.

The Book of the Covenant (Exodus 20:18 - 23:33)
The law that God gave to Israel, and the way that Moses, the Levites, and the angel of the Lord served as mediator between Israel and God, all point to Jesus and his perfect sacrifice and mediation between us and God.

I Did This For You
"Yom Kippur" - the Day of Atonement - was the pinnacle of the Jewish festival year. While god-fearing Jews were invited to attend many other sacred events, none could compare with this day! On this day, the sins of the nation were cleared away! The imagery, the sights, sounds, & smells of that day must have formed lasting images in the minds of those who attended. Such pomp & circumstance! But for all it’s ceremony - the sacrifices made that day could never fully pay the penalty or satisfy the debt of sin they had incurred. And next year, they would be back here again. Until Jesus entered... Key Passage: Hebrews 9:11-10:18

The Mosaic Covenant (Exodus 19 - 24)
God's covenants are progressive revelations of himself and progressive provisions for his people. In each of his covenants, God changes his relationship to his people forever. We see in the giving of the Mosaic covenant that God comes to dwell among his people, which is a foretaste of the nearness to God that we experience in fellowship with Jesus. We also see that God gives law in each of his covenants as a good gift to his people, to govern their lives and to teach his will.

The Christian and the Law (Exodus 24)
The Old Testament Law is relevant to us today. Broadly, as a whole it gives us an appreciation for God's history of redemption, and specifically, the moral law applies to us today as Christians. Most importantly, we are to understand the Old Testament Law in a framework of grace. God first loved and saved Israel, and then through the law taught them to live holy lives for his glory. Obedience of the law cannot earn God's favor; it must be motivated by love for God and gratitude for our finished salvation.
