Without an understanding of covenant practices, it will be hard to believe His Love for you. The Bible is a book of covenants, therefore, if you understand covenant then you'll understand the Bible and what it reveals, His Love.
This document discusses the conditional nature of God's grace and salvation. It provides several biblical examples of people who rejected God's grace through stubborn rebellion and unrepentant sin. The scriptures show that true believers can fall from grace if they neglect their salvation and turn to lust and ungodliness. God does not tolerate sin but disciplines and may condemn those who despise His grace. Overall, the document argues that salvation is secure only for those who live faithfully to Christ; backsliding and willful sin can lead to rejection if unrepented.
In this first message in this series we present insights on what a Biblical covenant is, and highlight the importance of the blood covenant.

Israel was on a downward spiral throughout the time of the Judges. Repentance always brought deliverance, but backsliding brought trouble and bondage. The first deliverer was Othniel.
The document discusses how believers can grow through trials rather than just endure them. It says to 1) cultivate a positive attitude toward trials, 2) understand that God uses trials to develop endurance, 3) cooperate with God in allowing trials to shape character, and 4) pray for wisdom to deal with trials. The promise for those who endure trials correctly is genuine happiness in this life and an abundant life, symbolized by a crown, in the next.

Go On To Maturity - Completing HolinessDave Stewart
The document discusses bringing holiness to completion through fearing God. It encourages separating from unclean and worldly influences, cleansing oneself, and dwelling in God's promises. Some ways to complete holiness mentioned are praising God, doing good, sharing with others, and bearing reproach willingly. The overall message is about pursuing holiness by walking with God and avoiding sin.
This document summarizes and comments on a passage from the book of James in the Bible. The passage discusses how showing partiality or favoritism towards the rich over the poor is a sin. It notes that God has chosen the poor to be heirs to his kingdom, and warns that failing to love your neighbor as yourself by showing partiality is breaking God's law. The commentary applies this by saying Christians are called to see all people as equally worthy in God's eyes, regardless of attributes like wealth, neighborhood, or ethnicity, and that we must acknowledge Christ died for all.
This document summarizes a sermon about the importance of submitting to God. It discusses how submission to God brings life and victory.

God's Grace (shared using http://VisualBee.com).VisualBee.com
God's grace is unmerited favor that He chooses to bestow upon people. God showed grace to Abram by choosing him for a great work and blessing him. He also showed grace to the nation of Israel by favoring them above all other people and making them His special treasure. The ultimate display of God's grace was God giving His only Son, Jesus, so that all who believe in Him will have eternal life rather than face punishment for their sins.

The Ten Commandments are a list of ten moral rules given by God to Moses on Mount Sinai. They provide guidelines for living a good and moral life. The Commandments forbid idolatry, taking God's name in vain, dishonoring parents, murder, adultery, theft, lying, and coveting others' possessions. Obeying the Commandments requires worshipping God alone, keeping the Sabbath, honoring authorities, protecting life, living chastely, being honest and just in all dealings, and finding fulfillment in God rather than material things.
The document discusses Abraham's life and faith, focusing on several key events: Abraham prioritized people over possessions, dealt wisely with conflicts over land and resources with his nephew Lot, and trusted God's promise to give him land despite not yet possessing it, instead living as a nomad. The document also discusses the apostle Paul's focus on knowing Christ rather than his own righteousness, pressing on toward the goal of the heavenly prize and forgetting past failures or lacks.
The Fifth Commandment prohibits killing. It establishes that God alone has ultimate authority over life as its creator. While man was given stewardship over life, anger and envy can lead to murder in violation of God's covenant. The commandment establishes moral duties to care for one's body and avoid risky or imprudent actions that could endanger life. It also addresses issues like donation of organs, scandal, and tattoos.
Negative passion can lead people astray through uncontrolled appetites, pride, and putting self before others. While mistakes due to negative passion leave scars, God uses the desert experiences to strengthen people. Even though questions remain about suffering, God's mercy, glory, love, and passion for his people provide strength to overcome challenges. Maintaining an intimate relationship with God through passion and trust in him enables overcoming problems.
The document discusses envy of the rich and patience in the face of suffering. It warns that earthly wealth is temporary and will corrode. The unrighteous rich are guilty of hoarding wealth, cheating workers, selfish living, and taking advantage of others. Believers are called to patiently await Christ's return without complaining or grumbling against each other, as illustrated by the example of Job's perseverance.
This document discusses key moments in the life of Abraham that demonstrated his faith and obedience to God. It analyzes passages from Genesis about Abraham believing God's promises and guidance at various points, such as leaving his home at God's command, circumcision, sacrificing Isaac, and other trials of faith. The document emphasizes that Abraham is considered one of God's greatest men because he consistently believed God and had his faith credited as righteousness, as referenced in passages from Romans, Galatians, and James.

This document discusses decision making and the importance of seeking wise counsel. It advocates beginning with the end in mind, painting a desired future, and making better decisions now to avoid regrets later. The story of Rehoboam is summarized, showing how he rejected wise counsel from elders and listened to poor advice from peers, which led Israel to rebel. The document outlines what counsel can do, like provide clarity, correction, and confirmation, and what it cannot do, like replace decisions. It recommends seeking counsel from those who know and love both us and God, like parents, pastors and leaders.
Doing The Word James 1:19-27 Adapted from a Tim Bond sermon http://www.sermoncentral.com/sermons/doing-the-word-tim-bond-sermon-on-bible-influence-48605.asp
God expects the people to declare God's praise but instead they burdened God with sins by not offering praise and living unmindfully. This led to their exile. However, God always invites return and seeks to be merciful. God created the people for a purpose and offers means like the Torah and covenant to come near and be nourished. But people fall into idolatry and devotion to created things rather than the one God. God wipes away sins if people would only return to God and be redeemed as taught in Leviticus.
This document provides an overview of the 10 Commandments from a Catholic perspective. It begins with some context about the presenter and a disclaimer. It then outlines the topics to be covered, which include an examination of what the law is and its meaning, a review of the 10 Commandments, examining one's conscience, and a discussion of morality without God. The document delves into each of the 10 Commandments, comparing them to the Beatitudes and discussing their Old Testament and New Testament contexts. It contrasts the Old and New Laws. Videos are embedded to further explain some concepts. References are provided at the end for additional learning.
Sanctification refers to being set apart from worldly connections to a heavenly connection. There is no justification without sanctification, and vice versa.
The document poses four questions about sanctification: 1) How are we sanctified? Through being called by God out of the world and to His will. 2) Are you offering yourself? In view of what God offered, we should offer ourselves as living sacrifices to God alone. 3) Are you lodging in heavenly places? By separating to God through sanctification, we enter God's domain and enjoy spiritual blessings with our hearts with Him. 4) Are you yoked to Christ? Sanctification sets us apart to be yoked to Christ as an inseparable unit,

Bestselling author Max Lucado also adds some introductory insights. Through these 31 video sessions, The Story small group study opens your eyes to God’s master plan as it unfolds in the lives of the Bible’s characters.

The document discusses Jephthah, who was cast out by his half-brothers but became a leader of men. When the Ammonites made war against Israel, the elders sought out Jephthah for help and asked him to be their leader. The summary emphasizes that God can bring about his will through difficult circumstances and that true submission to Jesus Christ as Lord means obeying him fully and trusting in his deliverance, salvation, and eternal life.
1) Jesus commands obedience from his followers and questions why people call him Lord but do not obey his teachings. True obedience is essential for entering God's kingdom.
2) Those who hear Jesus' words but do not act on them are building their lives on shallow foundations that will not withstand life's storms. True disciples dig deep and build on the unshakable foundation of obedience to Christ.
3) Putting Jesus' teachings into practice is the only way to know if his message is truly from God. Obedience is the test of true discipleship and the path to knowing truth.
The document discusses the importance and power of God's word according to scripture passages. It emphasizes that God's word is useful for teaching, reproof, correction and righteousness when inspired by God and the Holy Spirit. It encourages reading, listening to, and meditating on the Bible so that God's word may penetrate one's innermost being and transform them.

One becomes righteous through faith, not works. The righteousness that leads to salvation is granted through faith in Jesus Christ alone, not by adhering to religious laws or moral codes. The scriptures state that righteousness comes from believing in one's heart that God raised Jesus from the dead and confessing with one's mouth that Jesus is Lord. This faith is counted as righteousness, not any good deeds or avoidance of sinful acts.

How to Become a Thought Leader in Your NicheLeslie Samuel
Are bloggers thought leaders? Here are some tips on how you can become one. Provide great value, put awesome content out there on a regular basis, and help others.
God calls us to yield our lives and ways to follow Him instead of relying on our own understanding. While we believe we have rights to choose our own path, God's ways are higher and His right of way in our lives is most important. When we yield to God, He gives us a new identity and purpose, just as He changed Abram's name to Abraham, meaning "father of many," after Abram trusted in God.

Why do people lie? Why would a liar attempt to cover up his lies with “swearing” or an “oath”? What types of lies are the easiest to camouflage or skirt around the truth? (e.g., a half-truth) How does your “word” evidence your character and your integrity? Is God a witness to your conversations, commitments and conduct? If you believe, in fact, that He is, then how could this knowledge provoke you to change your words and your ways? How do you know if someone is lying to you? Are you a truth-teller and a promise-keeper? Are you as good as your word? What would have to change in your life to be free of lying?
This presentation covers having to live in what you have built with regard to your home environment and God's desire to see "his way" preserved through the unified actions of husband and wife as they "construct" the home by God's plan.
This sermon discusses the sins of pride and rejoicing in the misery of others. It analyzes passages from Ezekiel that prophesy God's judgment against neighboring nations including Ammon and Tyre for these sins. The sermon defines pride as arrogance, conceit, and self-exaltation that attributes glory due to God alone. It argues there is a difference between good pride in accomplishments and sinful pride that is rebellion against God. The sermon concludes by contrasting pride, which focuses on self-glory, with humility, which turns attention to God's glory and serving others.
Lies about sex, your teens hear all the timeDenverCoC
This document provides guidance on how to have open and positive conversations with teens about sex and sexuality from a biblical perspective. It recommends that parents:
1. Approach the topic positively and elevate sex rather than cheapen it.
2. Set clear standards based on scripture while explaining the reasoning behind God's commands on sexuality.
3. Communicate creatively through activities, resources, and symbols to start an ongoing dialogue in an age-appropriate manner.
4. Discuss issues with confidence, acknowledging one's own past openly but focusing on God's forgiveness and desire for one's child's purity.
5. Make prayer a priority for protection, guidance, accountability and one's child's future
Satan tries to steal our faith, but God recovers what is stolen. The document discusses how faith means trusting God and obeying His word, while unbelief leaves God out of decisions and rationalizes bad choices. It encourages reading the Bible for guidance, waiting on God through prayer, and having a promise-oriented mindset instead of worrying about results.
This document discusses God's covenant with Abraham. Some key points include:
- God established a covenant with Abraham wherein God promised to make Abraham into a great nation and that kings would come from him.
- Abraham responded in faith to God's call by leaving his homeland and going to the land God directed him to.
- The covenant involved specific promises from God, including that Abraham would have many descendants, nations would descend from him, God would keep the covenant with Abraham's descendants, and they would be given the land of Canaan.
- The divine plan of salvation that began with Abraham reached its fulfillment through Christ, making believers in Christ the true sons and daughters of Abraham.
The document is a summary of a sermon about pride and rejoicing in the misery of others. It discusses how God judges foreign nations that mocked Israel through the prophet Ezekiel. Specifically, it discusses prophecies against Ammon, Tyre, and Babel where people acted pridefully. It defines pride as arrogance and self-exaltation rather than humility before God. While some "pride" can be positive, true humility acknowledges that all glory is due to God alone. The sermon encourages focusing on God and others rather than oneself to avoid sinful pride.
This document provides an overview of Chapter 22 of the Westminster Confession of Faith concerning lawful oaths and vows. It begins by noting that this was an important topic for the church in the 1640s that is often overlooked today. It then examines how Jesus' words on oaths in the Sermon on the Mount are to be understood in the broader context of Scripture. The document outlines the Confession's key points on lawful oaths and vows, including that they must be taken seriously, bind only to what is good and possible, and not include foolish promises. It cautions against oaths and vows within the Roman Catholic Church that cannot truly be kept.

This document provides guidance on choosing to forgive and pursuing reconciliation according to God's way. It outlines a 4-step process for dealing with conflict: 1) Glorify God by surrounding the issue and people in prayer, 2) Conduct an eye examination to address your own attitudes and behaviors, 3) Work to restore the relationship between those in conflict, and 4) Make peace by practicing the four promises of forgiveness and living peaceably with others. The document uses numerous Bible verses to support pursuing forgiveness and reconciliation as the path to restoring relationships and resolving conflicts according to God's will.
This document discusses how to have a dialogue on refugees from a biblical perspective. It begins with praying that God will reveal His truths and soften hearts. It explores what Scripture says about refugees, how God values them, and how believers can obey God by serving refugees. The discussion will focus on refugees, sojourners, aliens and strangers. It encourages praying first before discerning how to have empathy for refugees and how the community can take spirit-led action to help them.
This document provides an overview of the book of Deuteronomy. It explains that Deuteronomy follows the ancient literary form of a suzerainty treaty covenant. This form includes identifying the great king, what the king has done for the people, terms of exclusive allegiance and other laws, blessings for obedience and curses for disobedience, and provisions for preserving the treaty. The document argues that understanding Deuteronomy in this context can help readers better understand and apply its message of covenant loyalty to God.

The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

3. The Covenant Code
• A code reveals the meaning of words, actions, or symbols.
• Covenant means "to cut" and carries the idea of eating.
• The practice of making covenants is in the past of every family on Earth.
• The handshake, swearing an oath in court, tattoos, hyphenated names, and
the elements in marriage ceremonies all came out of covenant practices.
• Covenant making to mankind is like a dream that can't be remembered.
When it's talked about people have a hint of it yet they have no idea about it
• God chose covenant to reveal His Love to man.
• Without an understanding of covenant, a person will struggle with believing
the Love of God.
• The Bible is a book of covenants. Therefore, without an understanding of
covenant practices a person cannot understand it nor what it reveals – the
Love of God!
5. The Covenant Code
• How does someone who has never lied convince liars that He's not lying?
• How do you believe the unbelievable?
• How do you comprehend that which is incomprehensible?
• Gen 3 – God kills an animal to clothe Adam and Eve?
• 1 Sam 17:36 – David compares Goliath to animals?
• Matt 15:26 – Jesus calls a woman a "dog"?
• God's challenge is to get people to trust Him by understanding His Word.
• He created man to walk with Him. How can that happen IF the man
doesn't believe Him and worse, keeps running from Him?
7. The Covenant Code
• Genesis 15:1 (KJV) 1 After these things the word of the LORD came
unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I [am] thy shield,
[and] thy exceeding great reward. 2 And Abram said, Lord GOD,
what wilt thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the steward of my
house [is] this Eliezer of Damascus? 3 And Abram said, Behold, to
me thou hast given no seed: and, lo, one born in my house is mine
heir. 4 And, behold, the word of the LORD [came] unto him, saying,
This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine
own bowels shall be thine heir. 5 And he brought him forth abroad,
and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able
to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be. 6 And
he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for
righteousness. 7 And he said unto him, I [am] the LORD that
brought thee out of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land to
inherit it. 8 And he said, Lord GOD, whereby shall I know that I
shall inherit it?
8. The Covenant Code
• Abram BELIEVED IN the LORD.
• God counted him righteous.
• Abram wanted to know how he could trust Him to give him land.
• He didn't have a problem with God giving him children, he couldn't figure
how God was going to give him that land.
• The LORD did not get angry when Abram questioned Him.
• The LORD had to deal with doubt, fear, and unbelief.
• The LORD answered Abram's question with a covenant ceremony.
• Abram was a rancher and understood covenant practices.
• The LORD HAD to solidify His Promise so that Abram could walk in it!
10. The Covenant Code
• Blood Covenant Practices
• The Promises
• The Blessings
• The Curses
• The Exchange

irregardless of what the other party did or didn't do. They
would swear to their God thereby being held accountable by
that God.
• Blessing the other party was WHY covenants were made.
• Blessings eliminated needs, needs the party or parties
COULD NOT meet themselves.
13. The Covenant Code
• The Curses
• The Curses were the consequences of not performing the promise(s).
• Since covenants were to several generations, the curse(s) reached those
same generations.
• The threat of the curse(s), which in a blood covenant was death, kept the
parties in line.
• There was no curse on the Abrahamic Covenant nor on the New Covenant.
• Why not?
• Both are unilateral covenants requiring no action of the recipient.
• God made the Promises, man simply accepts or rejects.
14. The Covenant Code
• The Exchange
• They would their coats which represented
their identities.
• They would exchange their belts that held
their weapons representing their
strengths.
• They would exchange their blood.

names.
• A person's name represented everything about them.
• The name carried authority.
• They often hyphenated the names.
• The name gave them access to everything the other
possessed.
16. The Covenant Code
• The meal was a party.
• This what everyone looked forward to when they heard about a covenant
ceremony.
• They would feed each bread saying "I'll starve before I let you starve. Here,
take my body and eat".
• They would give wine to one another and say "here's my blood, I'll die for
you because we are one".
• They would build a memorial out of rocks or plant a tree.
