Sermon manuscript available at emmausrbc.org
- Discuss the interconnectedness of the Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 12, 15, 17), Mosaic Covenant (Exodus 19-24), and New Covenant (Matthew 26:26-29) What are the similarities? What are the differences?
- Was it right or wrong for Israel to respond to the proposal of this covenant with the words, “All the words that the LORD has spoken we will do”? (Exodus 19:8, 24:3, 24:7) Why or why not?
- What did the five elements in the covenant ratification ceremony signify – the altar, twelve pillars, burnt offerings, Book Of The Covenant, and sprinkled blood?
- In ways is the New Covenant greater than the Old?
- How might this text apply to you today?
