7 - Covenant
Channel: Halting Toward Zion
Date: 2020-03-30

In this episode, we talk about how God structures His relationship to us. Generally, there are five aspects of how God relates to us: He establishes His lordship over us, appoints a way of communication and representation between us and Him, gives promises and guidance as to what we are to do and how, ordains an external sign of the covenant to seal the deal, and provides a way for this arrangement to continue into the future. All of these aspects serve to bind us, legally and personally, to Yahweh in Jesus Christ.

This Episode Features: Archaeology Becomes a Thing; In Sickness and In Health and All That; Greg’s First Job; Our Odds of Being Faithful to God (Spoiler Alert: Zero); Puppet Shows and Flannelgraphs; Revival Isn’t Like Selling Vacuum Cleaners; Kibitzing Over Food; Level Up!
