Why do covenants matter?

Many christians lack confidence and struggle to connect with god or find victory over sin. This dilemma is both predictable and inevitable when we live under the wrong covenant.

Warning: This is meat, not milk. Prepare to be liberated and disrupted.

Do covenants really matter? First answer this: Have you felt exhausted trying to please God? Unable to overcome habitual sin? Constantly measuring your failures and judging yourself? If so, chances are good that you are striving under the wrong covenant. Law is a covenant of works, so if you’re living with an Old Covenant mindset, you will exhaust yourself.

Jesus said, “Be born again.” What does it mean to be reborn under a new covenant? Is the new thing simply an upgraded version of the old, or something far more radical? In the next surge of history, the Holy Spirit is fueling a deep desire for “the summing up of all things in Christ” (Eph. 1:10). So do you live in Christ, Adam, or Moses?

Begin your journey with the first of five Apostolic Foundation courses by author and Bible teacher, Dean Briggs. Immerse yourself in 58 short sessions that you can easily listen to in 10 minutes…then chew on for days. Use the included Companion Booklet and Study Notes to make the most of your experience as your internal landscape gets realigned to the total superiority of the New Covenant.

It’s time to get your foundation fixed.

What’s included

  • Learn the difference between false knowledge and true, and why the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden brought death to humanity
  • Recognize the danger of making all covenants synonymous, why God initiated more than one covenant, the “terms” of new vs. old, and the problem of being a believer who doesn’t really believe
  • See the critical difference between covenants of Performance vs. Grace, along with the progression from Adam to Abraham to Moses to Christ
  • Glimpse the primary symbolism of the tabernacle’s design and how it reveals the construction of our own life in God
  • Finally understand the relationship between sin, the curse, and the law (it’s different than you think
  • Comprehend the origins of holiness, the problem of “carrots and sticks,” and the pathway to a clean conscience
  • Discover what repentance is and isn’t, and the dynamic connection between radical grace and radical discipleship
  • Be moved by the Father’s heart for you, the sanctifying virtue of identification with Christ and the means He provided for us to be united to Him in His death and resurrection
  • and much more!
