In Week 12 of Thriving in the Word, we continue our discussion on Hebrews 7–9 and talk about covenants, what they are, what the mean/meant and how the old law evolved into bending rules.

We unpack the difference between the old covenant (old contract) and the new covenant (new heart), and why God’s plan was never just “try harder and do it all right.” From types and shadows to the real thing, we trace how the Old Testament system pointed forward to Jesus—our spotless Lamb, our better Priest, and the One whose blood speaks a better word.

Along the way, we get practical (and a little humorous):

• What does it mean for God to write His law on our hearts?

• Why do we have an innate sense of right and wrong, and why doesn’t that save us?

• How does hardness of heart keep people stuck in performance mode?

• We chat about Simon who carried the Cross for Jesus and what it must've felt like to actually have Jesus “blood on you”?

• Why the first mile is obligation, but the second mile is where we share our faith.

If you’ve ever felt crushed by the idea that you have to be perfect to be close to God, this episode is for you. 

Jesus doesn’t upgrade your effort, He has a new contract.

Help us spread the word about Thriving in the Word—and thanks for being part of the family.

Have a blessed day.
