Covenant Podcast

Believers in Jesus Christ have no need to fear deception if we are relying on the Holy Spirit and the Word of God for our doctrine and practice.

Gambling and investing are two fundamentally different things, even if both involve an element of risk. Although there is no clear teaching that gambling is a sin, it can be sinful to participate in it. We must allow the Holy Spirit to guide our understanding of what it means to love our brother and to be good stewards of what He’s given us.

We have are given free will and are responsible before a holy God for our decision to sin. But, God in His great love reaches out to us, and offers us a chance to repent and believe and he chooses to save us.

We want to be a church that is addressing the challenges and issues that people within our church are facing. We are soliciting questions from the congregation that we will make an attempt to address from a Biblical perspective.

Revelation is a prophetic, apocalyptic, letter to the 7 churches in Asia about the end of days. It is meant to instill courage and confidence and serve as a warning, while reminding believers that God is ultimately in control of all events.

The world, as John defines it, are the thoughts and practices of a world system in opposition to God. Don’t fall in love with the world because that love pushes out our love for God. The world system is dying and temporary but when we invest in our relationship with God we invest in what will last.

John 3:16 is God’s love letter to a people in a world in rebellion against him. Anyone who calls on the name of Jesus can have their sins forgiven and receive eternal life.

Be on guard against false teachers and live with urgency now. Abide in the truth of Jesus Christ and the knowledge you have of Him, by His Word, through the power of the Holy Spirit. As you seek Him, you will be led to deeper worship of Him.

We are called to love the people God created!

People are leaving the faith, and some are teaching a new gospel. How can someone be assured of their own salvation?

Sin is a serious problem, both in the world, but also in the life of the believer. If you struggle with sin, don’t despair! Jesus is your advocate. When you accept what Jesus has done in forgiving your sin, your response should be to spread that good news to others.

God is life, light and perfection. In him is no darkness. If we claim fellowship with God while walking in sin, we walk in the darkness and not the light of God.

Jesus, preexistent from the beginning, is the creator and eternal life giver. John the apostle met him, knew him, lived with him, listened to his teaching and now testifies and proclaims that Jesus was God - and all can have a relationship with God.

Whether we are the Pharisee or the tax collector in this story, we are in desperate need of God’s grace and mercy.  There is forgiveness and mercy for even the worst of sinners but we must be willing to acknowledge that need and repent.

God desires for you to get involved in his mission in the world. We see new aspects of God’s character and we grow in our faith when we work with and for him to accomplish his purposes. You were made for this.

Although Jesus was born in humility, the hope that had been longed for was announced in splendor to the shepherds. A light has come into the world, and hope is here.

God wants to give good gifts to his children, if they would only ask. There are many prayers that God delights in answering yes to that are recorded in Scripture. We should not feel abashed at approaching the Father and asking him to “give us success”. These have been answered in the past and God answers them still.

In a world longing for hope, it is there for any who would pay attention. From the very beginning of creation, we can see that hope has been declared to the world.

If God promises it, God will accomplish it. Just because hope is deferred does not mean that hope is denied.

We all hope. And when we despair of hope, we desire a reason for hope. God has placed eternity within our hearts, and so we hope for a day when all wrongs will be righted and all creation restored.

Throughout the history of the world and church there has always been persecution. We follow in a long line of those who choose to identify with the kingdom of heaven, so we will be misunderstood, maligned, and persecuted in this life. Welcome to Covenant Church!

We live in a world where we are taught to avoid conflict, but we need to consider our responsibility as sons of God when it comes to peacemaking. 

We long to see and know God as he truly is. If we are cleansed from our sins by Christ, we will pursue him from a pure heart. We will see him work in this world and see him face to face in heaven.

In the kingdom of God, there is a principle that won’t be violated: he who wants to receive mercy, must be one who shows mercy. This teaching talks about what mercy means and how we navigate showing mercy in our world.

When I realize that nothing in this world can satisfy me, and I understand my sinfulness in light of who God is - I go to God to receive the righteousness that I can’t earn on my own.

Jesus follows the progression of thought in the intro to his sermon on the mount. First, he talks about being poor in spirit and recognizing our own sinfulness. Next, he talks about mourning over that sin and receiving the comfort of forgiveness. In v. 5 Jesus shows that as a result of that recognition and repentance, we now live a life of meekness and confidence - trusting God to be our defender. 

Though the believer in Jesus has now begun to recognize the depth of sin and the hopeless feeling that comes with it, this results in mourning over that sin, which will lead to the comfort of Jesus.

God desires for you to be happy, to live a blessed life. As Jesus begins what is arguably his greatest sermon (Matthew 5-7) he starts by talking about the way to enter into that kingdom life. Jesus tells his followers that the starting point into the kingdom of heaven is to start poor in spirit.

Since we have been offered the unmerited favor of God, we must begin to embrace this new reality. God’s house should be a house where there is a different atmosphere and reality than the world. This is a place where grace is offered and embraced freely.

God’s house is a house of radical generosity. In our world we are taught to seek out pleasure, seek out riches and accumulate things. God’s house is meant to have a different set of values where we work, plan, and save in order to be radically generous in our pursuit of the spread of the Gospel and help for those in need. 

The house that God wants to build is different from the world and culture around us. In a world and culture that is tribal, our church body should be a place that is diverse culturally, economically, and generationally.

In this passage Paul continues to show how Christ has a new plan and way of living for me. This extends to how slaves relate to their masters and how masters relate to their slaves. Embedded in the whole conversation is a new understanding of our work and our reward

Our miraculous transformation in Christ does not just impact us, or our relationship to our church body - but it starts at home. The true test of our sanctification is taking place at home, with what our families see in us and how we love and treat one another.

Our miraculous transformation in Christ does not just impact us, or our relationship to our church body - but it starts at home. The true test of our sanctification is taking place at home, with what our families see in us and how we love and treat one another.

Paul has encouraged the Colossian believers with a message to God to put their sin to death, taking off their old “clothes” and lives tainted by sin.  He now turns to what it is that they’re meant to wear instead, encouraging them to put on the love of Christ, the peace of Christ, and the Word of Christ. 

In this passage Paul writes to the Colossian Christians to remind them of the deadly battle that will continue to daily be fought in their lives. They will need to put to death their sexual and social sins, on account of which God’s wrath is coming. They will need to be reminded that their old self is dead, take off those dead man’s clothes and put on the new identity purchased for us by Christ.

Paul begins to get into the meat of false teachers doctrine that is plaguing the Colossian church. He says that they don’t need to worry about what to eat or drink or what religious ceremonies and festivals to observe, they need to hold on to Christ. The false teachers claimed a higher wisdom, brought on by observing religious rules that allowed them spiritual experiences - Paul says they are not from Christ.

Paul has defined the Gospel in chapter 1 - and his role as minister. Now, he moves on to begin to talk about the dangers that he is seeing within the church. Specifically, that the church members are listening to people who are deluding them with plausible arguments and philosophical arguments - but abandoning the power of Christ as they do it.

Paul is rejoicing as he is in prison, that by the preaching of the Gospel he has been counted worthy to identify with Christ in suffering. As a minister of Christ he counts himself (and us) as mere stewards of the gifts, talents and lives that we have been given by God - responsible to God for ministering on His behalf. We, like Paul, tirelessly share and teach everyone about the mystery of the Gospel message so that they may grow.

In Jesus we see what God is really like. We can see that he is merciful, personal, and powerful. We don’t get to define God however we like - we have an image of the invisible God in Jesus Christ.

This is a hugely controversial passage in cults and false teachings. What does it mean that Jesus is the firstborn over all creation?
