David's Covenant

Bryan Finley

God promised David that He would build a dynasty through his family line that would stretch throughout eternity. Jesus was the fulfillment of that promise, as He is now sitting on the throne of David in heaven, seeing His kingdom expand through His followers.

This message explains why the New Testament makes such a big deal about Jesus being of the royal line of David. To understand this is to understand why we believe Jesus is the Messiah, not only of the Jews, but of the entire world!

Judgment Day

October 4, 2020 • Bryan Finley

There should be absolutely no fear in the heart of a believer as they think about Judgment Day. The Jesus who forgave and saved us is the same Jesus who will be our judge! This is not a day to be dreaded, but instead, should be seen as a day of celebration and rewards!

The New Commandment

September 27, 2020 • Bryan Finley

There's only one commandment under the New Covenant, & it is superior to all previous commandments by lightyears. We have been made new creations in Christ who can spontaneously and powerfully show unconditional love for others because we have experienced God's unconditional love!

Moses' Covenant Pt 2

Bryan Finley

In the ancient world, when a powerfully superior nation would conquer a lesser nation, they would implement something called a vassal covenant. This is the worst of http://covenants...full of obligations, slavery, threat of punishment & absolutely no benefits. When Moses died, Israel needed a covenant successor, and it was an opportunity for their former covenant with God to be evaluated. Upon evaluation, God institutes a vassal covenant with Joshua/Israel, which is described in great detail in Deuteronomy. From there on out, we see the devastating results of Israel's inability to be faithful to the covenant. God would use prophets to warn of judgment and use powerful nations as agents of that judgment. When God finally intervened, relieving Israel of their covenant by sending Jesus, He provided a way for Israel (& the rest of us) to be in relationship with God & only experience His favor & blessing. Not because of our covenant obedience, but by having faith in the one who faithfully fulfilled the law, the prophets & the sacrificial system, Jesus Christ!
