Promise of a New People (Jeremiah 31:31-34)

Director of Discipleship Paul Arneberg continues our Promises of God sermon series with a key passage given through the Prophet Jeremiah. The Mosaic Covenant (handed down through Moses at Mount Sinai) was only temporary; it was fulfilled in Christ when he inaugurated the New Covenant in His blood through His life, death, and resurrection. Paul opens with the example of Martin Luther rediscovering God’s salvation by grace through faith (and therefore being a fruit of the New Covenant) and closes with a call to renewal by trusting in God’s promises and God’s sanctifying work for all who believe. Major supporting texts include Heb. 8:6-13 and 10:1-18.
