In Part 2 of this two-part series, we continue to go through Hebrews 8:6-13 verse by verse. To do so, we turn back to Jeremiah 31 to study the passage Paul quotes from. In the process, we discover who the parties of the New Covenant are and how gentiles fit in; the distinction between the "House of Israel" and the "House of Judah; the significance of the metaphor of God's marriage to Israel; what it means when God says He will write his law on believers' hearts; how it can be that all Israel will one day know Yehovah; and finally, the promise of complete and total forgiveness of sins through the Messiah. Then, returning to Hebrews 8, we learn what Paul is really trying to say in verse 13 in context--and it's not that the Mosaic Covenant vanishes away. And in the end, we find the true reason the New Covenant is "new", and how it all applies to us today.

As Grafted Branch Church, we desire to please God in all that we do by loving the Lord our God with all our heart, soul and mind and loving our neighbor as our self. We are a church in Le Sueur Minnesota, assembling together under the headship of the Messiah Yeshua (Jesus Christ) to carry out His Great Commission. We are Bible-believing, unaffiliated, and boldly hold forth the truth of God's Word in love. We believe that the entire Bible (including the Torah) is relevant and applicable for all believers; celebrate the appointed times of Yehovah; believe in the exclusivity of the local church; use the King James Bible; sing Psalms; uphold and encourage the biblical family structure; desire to see people grow and be challenged; rejoice in lives that are changed and blessed by God; and look forward to and anticipate Yeshua the Messiah’s return.
