Covenant With God

Pastor Joel walks through Exodus chapters 21 through 24, examining the law of Moses given to Israel and drawing out timeless theological principles for the New Testament believer. He emphasizes that Christians are not under the Mosaic covenant but under the covenant of grace in Jesus Christ, and that proper biblical interpretation requires accounting for differences in covenant, culture, time, and language. Key themes include God's desire to regulate and restrict slavery rather than endorse it, the call to sexual purity, the importance of remembering what God has done, the danger of ungodly influences, and above all, the remarkable access to God's presence that believers now have through the blood of Jesus. Pastor Joel concludes with a stirring call to draw near to God in fellowship, recognizing that the veil has been torn and the invitation stands open.
