Joseph Williams and John Spellman present the Two Covenants. What's the difference? What is the Old Covenant? What is the New Covenant? Has the law changed?
What can we learn from Abraham's experience? As the first Biblical missionary, Abraham's journey tells us many things about how he witnessed for God through his life and through many of the challenges he faced. Abraham is known as the father of faith, yet was he always a champion of faith? Did Abraham have weaknesses as people do today? If so, how did Abraham learn to trust God over time? What lessons did Abraham learn that are still important lessons for us to learn today? Why was Abraham commanded to leave his father's household in the first place?
What will God's kingdom be like? Will there be potential for the sin problem to rise up again? What does God do in the lives imperfect people? Will the saved have to obey God's law throughout eternity? Is it even possible to obey God? What does the New Covenant tell us about the kingdom of God? This week we explore these topics.
What did the apostles believe about God's Law. Surely, the people who spent the most time with Jesus would know what Jesus taught and believed about the Law both prior to and after His death and resurrection. What did they teach about God's Law? Did they contradict one another, or did they believe the same thing? This week we take a look at the writings of Paul, Peter, James, John and Jude in an effort to understand what the apostles believed about the relationship between the Law and Salvation. We will compare their teachings with the teachings of many churches today.
