The Covenant & the Kingdom: Part 4 The New Covenant and Israel

The New Covenant was made with Israel first—here's what that means for the church.

In this episode, Pastor Stephen Martin traces the New Covenant from Jeremiah 31 through Ezekiel 36 into the church age—and shows that the New Covenant never replaced Israel, it guarantees Israel's future.
