Abraham is human being's representative of an Old Testament covenant that has merged with the Messianic covenant through Jesus, human being's New Covenant covenant. Inclusion in these merged covenants which are necessary for salvation is summed up in one word, FAITH. Faith in what? This podcast answers this question.

Yahweh’s grand entrance onto the world stage was marked by a statement of his might and mercy as he overthrew the ancient gods of Egypt and redeemed his people from centuries of slavery. In this episode he displays his mastery over life and death while using the first Passover ritual to unveil another glimpse into his ongoing mission to reconcile and restore all creation to himself through his Messianic self.

Ancient Israel, freed from Egyptian oppression, meets with Yahweh, their redeemer. Yahweh instructs Moses in how to lead a sacrificial ritual that will bind the people into a covenant relationship with them, conditional upon both parties keeping their promises to each other. This covenant is known as the Old Covenant or Old Testament. The ritual itself, however, gives us additional insight into Yahweh's Missional objective that would unfold centuries later in a covenant that would replace the Old Covenant with a New one, the New Testament.

The Old Testament Mosaic Ceremonial encompassed many aspects of ancient Israel’s life. A very significant part of their ceremonial law revolved around their worship at the Tabernacle. This podcast gives an overview of some of the ceremonies conducted by priests and worshippers at the ancient tabernacle and how these Old Mosaic Covenant ceremonies symbolically foreshadowed their fulfillment in the New Messianic Covenant realities currently in effect today through Yahweh the Son, Jesus.

When the ancient Israelites brought offerings to the tabernacle on their journey from Mount Sinai to the land Yahweh promised to give them on the East side of the Mediterranean sea (as long as they remained faithful to him), they came to offer sin, guilt, and fellowship offerings to Yahweh. These various offerings were meant, in most cases, to absolve the worshipper of sin and guilt. But on what basis was Yahweh willing to forgive them? On the basis of an animal sacrifice or on the basis of something or someone much more significant to Yahweh?
