As you may have guessed if you were here the last time we used these cards, this sermon has several different versions and when it ends is going to be completely up to you.
Today, Jesus uses some symbolism to talk about the difference between the Old and New Covenants and that invites a discussion about the different kinds of laws we find in the Bible.
This message has four parts and each part has a long version and a summary version.
I’ll start each part by asking a pair of questions.
If most everyone gets the questions right, that means that we generally understand the idea from that section and you’ll just get the summary version of that section - a few sentences.
If most everyone gets the questions wrong, that means that the topic needs a little more explaining and you’ll get the full section.
Sound good?
Now for this exercise we’ll be using the cards that were on your seats as you walked in.
Each card has four choices on it, A, B, C, and D. When I ask a question, you’ll pick your answer and hold the card with that choice facing up.
I’ll scan the room from here with my phone and it’ll give me a readout of the answers you gave.
So let’s do a test question:
What is the best Thanksgiving side?
Old Covenant vs New Covenant
So first up, we have these questions . . .
What is the Old Covenant?
What is the New Covenant?
Summary
You guys got it!
This is pretty straightforward.
The Old Covenant was the agreement God had with ancient Israel to be their God.
It relied on a series of laws, festivals, and sacrifices that the Israelites were to keep.
That covenant was fulfilled, the deal was completed in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
He initiated a New Covenant with us that relies on Him alone.
He promises to be our God, to bring us to Himself forever, to give us a place in a perfect new creation - and it all relies on on nothing more than our faith in Him.
