10262025 | The Promise of the Covenant | Allen Hickman
A Covenant is more than just an agreement between people and/or organizations. It is about relationship, blood, and death. Yes, blood and death. In the Old Testament people understood that making a covenant was about the relationship they had with the person and blood had to be spilled if the covenant was to be enforced. To enact a covenant someone or thing had to spill it's blood. The only way you could get out of a covenant without repercussions was death. However, with every covenant there were promises and stipulations. The covenant Jesus made with the Father in our behalf was enacted by Jesus' blood being spilled and His death fulfilling the Old Covenant. WHAT ARE THE PROMISES OF THE NEW COVENANT?
