The gospel for the nations

Series: A better covenant

  • 1hr 21mins

Israel in the Old Testament was called to be a nation set apart from the world, with clear rules about separation of the clean from the unclean. Jesus shocked the Jewish leaders of his time by sharing meals with sinners, and touching unclean lepers. Instead of Jesus being “contaminated”, his purity transformed their lives. He announces a New Covenant age of spiritual power where believers are called to be salt and light which reaches every part of society. The Gospel drives back spiritual darkness and brings hope to all the nations of the world.

Creation mandate

Series: Solid Foundations

In the first chapter of the Bible, God established the ‘creation mandate’ that we should be fruitful and multiply, and subdue the Earth. After the Fall, sin and death meant Adam could not properly fulfil the mandate. But God always had a plan to perfect the creation mandate in Christ. Some suggest this means it no longer applies to us as individuals. But the Bible’s teaching on creation, the family, stewardship and society are fundamental to what it means to be a human being in God’s world. Bill James.
