Grace at LAST

167-In this episode of Grace at LAST, we move from understanding the New Covenant to living it. It is one thing to recognize what JesUs accomplished, but another to let that reality reshape the way we think, respond, and experience everyday life.
What if living in the New Covenant is less about trying harder and more about seeing different? We look at how fear, performance, and old patterns can continue to influence us even after we understand grace, and why renewing our minds is so important. You'll discover how your past was not wasted, how growth is something to celebrate, and why freedom becomes increasingly natural as we see ourselves through the finished work of Christ.
This episode is practical, encouraging, and filled with everyday examples that invite you to experience the peace, confidence, and rest that come from living in the reality of the New Covenant.

166-How do we read the Bible after the finished work of JesUs? In this episode of Grace at LAST, we look at one of the biggest shifts many believers never consider: God has not changed, but covenant has.Instead of reading every passage as though it is written directly to us, we learn to ask who the original audience was, where the passage fits in the unfolding story of Scripture, and how it points to Christ. As we renew our minds with truth, fear, confusion, and struggling begin to be replaced with rest and clarity. The Bible becomes one beautiful, connected story revealing God's unchanging heart and His completed work through JesUs.

165-If you’ve ever felt more confused the more you studied the Bible, this episode is for you. In How Do I Read the Bible Now? we step back and look at Scripture through the lens of covenant, circumstances, and fulfillment rather than treating every verse as if it was written directly to us. What changes when we stop reading the Bible as one flat book of rules and start seeing the story it tells? We talk about audience importance, the movement from old covenant to new, and why reading with the big picture in view can bring clarity, peace, and a much healthier way to approach Scripture.

164-In the final episode of the Genesis to Revelation series, we step back from the details and consider the bigger picture. After looking at covenant from Genesis through Revelation, what does it look like to live in light of what has been fulfilled?
 For years, many of us have approached Scripture searchingfor the next insight, the missing piece, or a deeper level of understanding. Yet when we zoom out and follow the thread of covenant through the Bible, a simpler and more beautiful picture begins to appear. The story is not mainly about self-effort, achieving, or maintaining a relationship with God. It is about God's desire to dwell with humanity and bring us into union with Himself through JesUs Christ.
This episode reflects on what it means to live from rest rather than performance, from acceptance rather than fear, and from the reality of what has already been accomplished rather than what we hope to someday receive.

163-In Part 7 of Genesis to Revelation, we look at the book of Revelation through the perspective of covenant rather than disaster. What if Revelation was not mainly about events thousands of years in the future, but about the closing of one covenant age and the full arrival of another? Together, we consider the audience, timing, symbols, and imagery that have shaped so many interpretations of this book.
From the fall of Jerusalem and destruction of the temple to the arrival of the New Jerusalem, this episode follows the thread of covenant fulfillment woven throughout Scripture. If Revelation marks the end of the old covenant order, what does that mean for believers today? Join us as we reconsider familiar passages and explore the possibility that the story reaches its fulfillment in JesUs, inviting us to live in the reality of what has already been accomplished.
