A place to share the word of the Lord Jesus Christ
Joel 3:18 And it will come to pass in that day
that the mountains shall drip with new wine,
the hills shall flow with milk,
And all the brooks of Judah shall be flooded with water;
a fountain shall flow from the house of the LORD
and water the Valley of Shittim (Acacias).

Why is the new covenant so important to us? First, lets see what it means to have a new covenant.
Jeremiah 31:31 – “Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah— 32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them”, says the Lord.
This announcement is a key point in the timeline of God and his relation to his people. It is his promise of a new covenant, different from, and much improved, from the covenant made at Mount Sinai. This is the first biblical reference to a new covenant. The passage is quoted in the New Testament, Heb. 8:8-12.
If we look at
Luke 22:20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you”
Jesus declares the new and better covenant. Continue reading “The new and better covenant – what does it mean?”
The book of Ezra is a story of return from captivity, a story of restoration, and a story of rebuilding of the temple (rebuilding worship).
It is also a story of repentance, weeping, and giving burnt offerings showing contrition and sorrow for sin.
More than anything else the Lord had called (and is calling) Israel to consecration, i.e. the Lord wanted Israel’s hearts.
So it is the Lord is calling us (His Church) to a deeper consecration, a deeper heart relationship, a more intimate worship to Him. Continue reading “Ezra, return from captivity, restoration, and rebuilding. Heart journey”
Can I still eat bacon, BBQ pork ribs, prawns and lobster? 🙂
Here are some thoughts I’ve pulled together from the word and various sources.
Most of you know that Replacement Theology claims the Church has replaced Israel in God’s plan due to Israel’s rejection of the Messiah. Where Replacement Theology (also know as continuation theology) claims the only place for Israel is as part of the Church, some in the Hebrew Roots movement assert that the only place for the Church is as part of Israel.
So how do we sort out this mess? Continue reading “Hebrew Roots Movement vs Replacement Theology – where is the truth?”
