Covenant Sermons
I have completed my sermon series on biblical Covenants. The series is heavily indebted to Dr. Peter Gentry and his lectures on “Kingdom Through Covenant.” Of course, the sermons draw from other’s teachings as well and any errors or faulty thinking are my own.
I think a healthy understanding of the Covenants is important to a healthy understanding of Jesus Christ. I do not think that “Covenant” is the end all / be all of theology - Jesus is. Yet, if we are to appreciate Jesus Christ in all his fullness, if we are to worship God the Father in all his providence, if we are to serve by the Spirit in all obedience, then we need to know the basics of the Missio Dei, and I think we get a little closer via this kind of study.
This is my first attempt at theological preaching (as opposed to preaching through a biblical book). It was challenging, especially the time element. You’ll find some of these run 45 minutes. I am thankful for a congregation that is bearing with a new pastor who is still really learning how to preach. Over the course of the sermon series, Sunday morning attendance rose about 15%. We’ll see if those levels stay the same as I return to a more comfortable verse-by-verse style. Don’t worry about my voice, I don’t like it either.
