Welcome to BANTER; the weekly podcast where we unpack Sunday's sermon.
This week we explore the richness of the word "covenant", and the significance of "cutting a covenant", how the Old covenant is more gracious than we assume, and that perhaps the New covenant is more demanding than we realise.

The New Covenant - Mitch Levingston

31 “The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. 32 It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke my covenant, though I was a husband to them," declares the Lord. 33 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord. “I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

Welcome to BANTER; the weekly podcast where we unpack Sunday's sermon.

A Theology of Gardening - Murray Lambert

"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." (Jeremiah 29:11)
The prophet Jeremiah writes these words to a nation in the middle of exile. As refugees of war, living in a foreign land where they're treated as second-class citizens, God tells them to  “5 Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce." 
Why is God telling Israel to plant gardens of all things in the midst of exile?
