Water, Blood, and Fire: The Covenant Journey from Noah to Christ with Josh Liem

Genesis 9

"What does an ancient covenant after the flood have to do with Jesus—and with us today? This week, we explore Genesis 9 and how its themes of justice, peace, and covenant find their ultimate fulfillment in Christ. We’ll also examine how Scripture has been misused to justify injustice, and how Jesus offers a radically different way to live in light of God’s promises. Join us as we trace the grand story of God’s covenant faithfulness—from Noah to Abraham, Moses, David, and ultimately, to Jesus, whose new covenant reshapes everything."
