The New Covenant

Pastor Moss began by sharing experiences from officiating weddings, noting how modern weddings have become more about festivities than covenant commitment. He used this to illustrate the weight and difficulty of covenant relationships. The sermon focused on Jeremiah 31:31-40, where God promises a new covenant because the old Mosaic covenant had been broken by Israel. Moss explained that the old covenant was conditional - blessing for obedience, discipline for disobedience. He shared personal stories about broken friendships and promises to demonstrate that humans are naturally inclined to break covenants, both with each other and with God.

In this message:

God gives new blessings by being faithful to old covenants.The heart of man is wired to break covenants.A covenant is a binding commitment to follow through on your end even if the other party does not.Modern weddings have become far less about covenant and far more about cocktails.The old Mosaic covenant was conditional - blessing for obedience, discipline for disobedience.
