Adventures In Grace

We gather with our people—this company of lost prodigals now found, forgiven, made new, and crazy with joy at the thought of His love—to worship and give Him thanks. In our gathering and encouraging one another, the Spirit is present, establishing us in the reality and causing the unreality to increasingly be seen for what […]

The covenant, above everything else, means union, the coming together of two parties to make a functional one. In the making of the old human covenants, the parties took each other's name to indicate that they were united as one. But in the new covenant we do not merely take His name, but His Spirit […]

We have taken note that covenants in Bible times were sealed with an oath taken by both of the parties to the covenant. Their taking oaths and calling on God to be their witness was the guarantee of the covenant. In the new covenant that God makes with us, He swears by Himself; He is […]

I have a special treat for you this week. While I was researching Chp 9 of Malcolm Smith's Power of the Blood Covenant, I came across a RARE message Malcolm gave nearly 25 years ago! This is not available anywhere! This is a very long message though. Just over one hour! Malcolm loves to talk!! But […]

The post #016 – SPECIAL – Jesus and the Pharisees (Blood Covenant Pt 9) [Podcast] appeared first on Adventures in Grace.

We have seen that a covenant in Bible times was a matter of life and death. This was underscored throughout the ritual by the death of the covenant animal, the oath taken by the two parties, and the shedding of their own blood, which flowed down their arms as they swore to keep the covenant […]

The making of the new covenant is foreshadowed in many of the Old Testament stories. We must remember that they are records of actual events that took place in the lives of real people in Israel. They are helpful signposts that anticipate and point the way to what Jesus would do. They are not meant […]

God has a radical agenda of love! He reaches to every man and woman to reconcile us to Himself, to include us in the circle of His intimate friends, and to return each one of us to the reason for our creation. How does He achieve this goal of totally transforming the man or woman […]

The post #013 – The Covenant Representative (Blood Covenant Pt 6) [Podcast] appeared first on Adventures in Grace.

Behind the covenant that He makes is the core of His heart, which is infinite love, best understood among men as hesed. As we would not have the rays of the sun if there were no sun, so there would be no covenant if God were not the molten core of infinite and unconditional love! […]

The post #012 – The Core of Covenant (Blood Covenant Pt 5) [Podcast] appeared first on Adventures in Grace.

The Bible knows nothing of abstract discussions of covenant. Rather, what we see is covenant in action. So, often you will see words such as mercy or lovingkindess more than the word covenant, as these are words of covenant-in-action. The Hebrew word is hesed. The very heart of hesed is passionate love, pursuit, strength, and steadfastness. In this […]

We were created for covenant union with God, to be in the circle of His friends. We are made in His image and in His likeness, uniquely fitted to interact with Him in love. This is the meaning of our existence: to live by the life of God, enjoying the privilege of being His friends. […]
