1 The New Covenant Abundant Life
2 New Covenant Jesus the Author of a New Covenant (1Cor 11:25) In the same way, he also took the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, every time you drink it, in remembrance of me. (Heb 8:6) But now Jesus has obtained a superior ministry, since the covenant that he mediates is also better and is enacted on better promises. (Heb 8:13) When he speaks of a new covenant, he makes the first obsolete. Now what is growing obsolete and aging is about to disappear.
3 New Covenant Christ, the Perfect Mediator (Heb 9:11,12,15) So Christ has now become the High Priest over all the good things that have come. He has entered that great, perfect sanctuary in heaven, not made by human hands and not part of this created world. Once for all time he took blood into that Most Holy Place, but not the blood of goats and calves. He took his own blood, and with it he secured our salvation forever. For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance--now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.
4 New Covenant Our Amazing Inheritance (1 Corinthians 2:9,12) However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him"-- 12 We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us.

6 New Covenant Faith: Our Adoption as Children of God (Gal 3:25-27) But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian. (the law). For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith. For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ. (Heb 13:5) I will never leave you nor forsake you.
7 New Covenant The Glory of the indwelling Spirit (2Cor 6:16) For we are the temple of the living God, just as God said, I will live in them and will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people. (2Cor 3:3) you are a letter of Christ, delivered by us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not on stone tablets but on tablets of human hearts (2Cor 3:6-10) [God] made us competent to be servants of a new covenant not based on the letter but on the Spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life

9 New Covenant The deadly effect of the old covenant (Gal 3:10,11) But those who depend on the law to make them right with God are under his curse, for the Scriptures say, "Cursed is everyone who does not observe and obey all these commands that are written in God's Book of the Law." Consequently, it is clear that no one can ever be right with God by trying to keep the law. For the Scriptures say, "It is through faith that a righteous person has life. (Gal 5:4) You who are trying to be declared righteous by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace!

11 The Big Stick
12 New Covenant Freedom & Transformation (2Cor 3:17-18 ) Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is present, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled faces reflecting the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another, which is from the Lord, who is the Spirit. (Gal 5:13) For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity to indulge your flesh, but through love serve one another.
13 Indulging the Flesh
14 New Covenant Putting on the New Self (Eph 4:17-25) Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds.put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another.
15 Dog Wisdom
16 New Covenant Putting on the Humility of Christ (Col 3:12-14) Therefore, God s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience, accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive. Above all, put on love the perfect bond of unity. (2Cor 12:9) But he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness. Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
17
18 New Covenant - Compassion of Christ (Heb 4:15) For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. (Gal 6:1-2) Brothers, if someone is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual should restore such a person with a gentle spirit, watching out for yourselves so you also won t be tempted. Carry one another s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.

21 New Covenant Bond of Unity in Christ (Philippians 2:1,2 Col 3:13,14) If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.. accepting one another and forgiving one another if anyone has a complaint against another. Just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must also forgive. Above all, put on love the perfect bond of unity.
22 Unity of Faith?

24 Heart and Soul of the Covenants New Old Deep gratitude for the unconditional lovingkindness and forgivness of God Expectation of self-righteousness - resentment of unfairness Soft moldable hearts Rest and peace, clothed in the righteousness of Jesus Compassion, forgiveness for the failure and sin of others Hardened Hearts of stone Anxiety over our sin & failures - fear of condemnation Suspicion & judgment of other s imperfections and sin
25 Heart and Soul of the Covenants New True friend of God the indwelling Holy Spirit Growing in Jesus likeness of Christ & overcoming sin by the power of His Spirit Old Seeing God as a hard master, excluded from God s presence and favor Striving to achieve God s approval by precise knowledge and performance of God s commands & precepts Inspired to bless others by the gifts and counsel of the Holy Spirit Bound by cords of our fallen nature -worried about protecting our own stuff, and own way
