Covenant: Week 2 of 4

7/12/2019

In this teaching we take a closer look at the covenant ratification ceremony between God and Abraham.

The story is told in Genesis 15 and is full of symbolism.

For many Christians - since we do not understand the symbolism of the story - we miss the deep meaning of the ceremony.

Teacher

Scott Broberg - I have a Masters of Divinity (MDiv) from Bethel Seminary - San Diego.

The focus of my studies was twofold:

First, Biblical Studies with an emphasis on the Old Testament (different from theological studies - here is a great article explaining). I love the culture, language, and history that culminates in each biblical story.

The foundation of Jesus' world is the Hebrew Bible. Everything he teaches and does is connected to the only "text" of his day. Jesus did not have a New Testament. Neither did the disciples. The more you understand the Hebrew Bible, the more you will appreciate the New Testament.

The second is Spiritual Growth or Spiritual Formation. What does it mean to be a human within God's creation, and how do we grow and change to be more like what God intended us to be?

The spiritual journey is a journey of a lifetime. It is the most challenging and rewarding thing you can do. It takes tremendous courage to face ourselves and our limitations in an effort to grow. It is THE Critical Journey.
