EPISODE 0365 | The Covenant & the Kingdom: Part 5 Replacement Theology
In this episode, Pastor Keegan tackles replacement theology, also known as supersessionism—the belief that the Church has permanently replaced Israel in God’s plan and inherited the promises originally given to the Jewish people. He traces where this theology came from, examines its different forms, and works through Romans 9–11 to argue that God’s covenant promises to Israel remain intact.
The message also looks at the historical consequences of replacement theology, including its role in creating a theological environment where antisemitism could grow. At the center of the episode is a simple picture: God as Father and His people as His children. Discipline does not mean rejection, and God's faithfulness to His promises reveals something about His character.
EPISODE 0362 | The Covenant & the Kingdom: Part 4 The New Covenant and Israel
What exactly is the New Covenant—and who was it originally made with? In this episode, Pastor Stephen traces the New Covenant from Jeremiah 31 through Ezekiel 36 and into the New Testament, showing how it connects the entire covenant story of Scripture. Given at one of Israel’s darkest moments, God promises something greater than external laws or temporary sacrifices: a new heart, the indwelling of His Spirit, personal relationship with God, and permanent forgiveness of sin. Pastor Stephen explains how the Church participates in these blessings through Jesus without, in his teaching, canceling God’s covenant promises to Israel—and why understanding that distinction should deepen our confidence in God’s unchanging character and faithfulness.
EPISODE 0360 | The Covenant & Kingdom: Part 3 - The Land Covenant and the Davidic Covenant
What do promises God made thousands of years ago have to do with Israel—and with us—today? In this episode, Pastor Daniel continues the story of God’s covenants by unpacking the Land Covenant and the Davidic Covenant. From Israel’s promised homeland and future restoration to David’s eternal throne ultimately fulfilled in Jesus, these covenants reveal a God who disciplines His people without abandoning them and who never takes back His Word. And they point us forward: the biblical story isn’t finished yet. Jesus is coming again, His promises will be fulfilled, and believers are called to live with expectation, holiness, and awe as we wait for the King to return.
