The New Covenant Community
The church is Christ’s new covenant community here on earth. As such, things such as membership and baptism are defined by the terms and promises of the new covenant. This is why we hold to a regenerate church membership and believers’ baptism. Not only that, the new covenant promises transform this community to love one another.
The New Covenant: Forgiveness that Forgets
Sin is the biggest problem standing in the way of a relationship with God. Humanity has tried a number of ways to deal with the problem of sin but none of them are effective. God deals with sin by being merciful and forgiving to such an extent that the all-knowing God forgets sin! This promise is part of the terms of the new covenant and guarantees its success.
The New Covenant: Knowing God
One of the wonderful promises of the new covenant is that God will be our God and we shall be his people. This same phrase in the old covenant takes on greater significance in the new covenant as everyone in the new covenant will know the Lord. Everyone will be in a right relationship with God. This sermon explores what it means to know God and be related to him in the new covenant.
