5 Facets of the New Covenant God Made With You

Archival Post

I'm sure you always read the full agreement you make with various companies to use their software and hardware. A recent Apple software license agreement is 451 pages long. And when you clicked "I agree" I'm sure it's because you took the weekend to read through it. Or maybe your lawyer perused it. But did you know God has made agreements with humanity? The biblical word for these agreements is "covenant."

Jeremiah might be my favorite prophet. With endurance and steadfastness, he pushed and pulled with the nation of Israel, but also with God. His road, like all the prophets', was hard. The people would reject him, over and over again, and he had to say hard words.

Jesus Christ: The Ultimate Man - Part 2

The Ultimate Man

Part 2: Prophet Jesus

This is not the title I normally use of Jesus. Perhaps I've developed an allergy to the title after hearing many say, "Jesus was a good teacher, a prophet, but not God." I reject that. He is God who became flesh to dwell among us (John 1:14). Still, he is the greatest prophet who ever walked the earth. (6 Minutes/1400 Words)

A Guide for the Climb - Chapter 11 - Learn to Cry and Then Wait for God (Psalm 130)

April 8, 2020 Nate Holdridge

Our next song deals with one of the more difficult practices of the disciple's life, waiting for God. Because of who God is — and who we are — there are bound to be various stresses in our relationship with Him. He will confuse us at times. We will be frustrated with Him at times. If God is infinite, flawless and perfect and I am finite, sinful and imperfect, then it stands to reason that I will become frustrated in my relationship with him at times. (14 Minutes/3600 Words)

Have you ever watched a child settle for a nickel when they could have had a dime? If you have, you’ve seen a little of what God sees. He looks upon the earth and, with sadness, watches men and women choose that which is lesser. He loves people, so He longs for us to choose the best. (2 Minutes/300 Words)

The Prizeworthy Gift From God (Jeremiah 45)

I like to run trails, but I'm not fast. I'm friends with some runners I could never keep up with and, if they wanted to, they could leave me behind in the parking lot. Jeremiah was an awe-inspiring prophet, a true man of God. He labored and preached and prophesied with endurance. He was a tough guy to keep up with. (3 Minutes/900 Words)

Jeremiah Wasn't Always Alone -- Neither Are You (Jeremiah 26:20)

April 23, 2019 Nate Holdridge

Jeremiah, like most of the prophets, was a solitary pillar of truth in a wasteland of doctrinal deception. He stood for the truth of God, saying hard things during hard times when no one else would. As truth spilled from his mouth, lies dripped from the lips of many false prophets. (3 Minutes/600 Words)

(Romans 8:1-11)

Perhaps, after reading and studying Romans 7, you feel Paul has put the perfect words to your current struggle. There, he eloquently described our ongoing battle with indwelling sin. That which we hope not to do, we do. That which we hope to do, we don’t do. (20 Minutes/3500 Words)
