A supernatural view of the Bible, and the history within it, helps bring even more clarity to covenant theology.

Christ ultimately shows the futility of these other gods and their covenants by revealing to them His full power through His ministry on Earth, the resurrection, and His ascension.

Additionally, we have been set free from the kingdom of darkness and from the evil one. Today on the podcast, Jon and Justin have a conversation about that freedom and how it is an essential ..read more
