Faith Within the Midst of Pandemic Fear

March 15, 2020 • Brad Lambert

As the pandemic draws the world into panic, and the need to exercise wisdom grows, we need a supernatural perspective through the promises that the New Covenant gives us. As we tell people to rest in the Lord and not to panic, we cannot appeal to the gravity or level of danger of the disease, which still shows that our hearts are captive to the level of danger. Instead we must appeal to God's promises that even though the earth be removed and fall into the midst of the sea, we shall not fear. It is right for wisdom to respond to the true level of the danger, but it is never right to respond in fear, but always in faith.

We Do Not Lose Heart

New Covenant Discipleship

March 1, 2020 • Matthew Carver

Because we start our Christian walks incredibly self-imposed, New Covenant discipleship must occur that strips us of our old way of thinking and fills us and focuses us on the glory of God. Jesus' aim for us is to take us on a journey from self-sufficiency to Him-sufficiency, and for that he must confront us and expose to us the self-deceit that resides in each one of our hearts. It is a painful process, but it is a process we can trust him in because he has loved us with an everlasting covenant of love, and because he is the only one qualified in the truth to lead us into what is actually true. That very discipleship journey is illustrated in the journey Jesus leads the disciples in in Luke 9.
