The Old & The New Covenants

​In this episode, Pastor Chris Gordon and Rev. Adam Kaloostian delve into the distinctions between the old and new covenants, exploring why some modern-thinking churches deprioritize or avoid preaching from the Old Testament altogether. They address a common perception that the Old Testament is mainly about wrath and vengeance, while the New Testament reflects a God of love and forgiveness. Although these elements are present, they emphasize that both Testaments are essential to one another, together offering a profound view of humanity’s sinful and rebellious nature and the need for the coming Lord.
