Church, Covenant, and Commitment | Dr. Jack Buskey

Message Us!

We explore why Jesus’ promise to build his church invites more than attendance. The call is to move from “common law” faith to covenant membership, rooted in Scripture, shaped by consecration, and lived out in a visible, local body.

• defining church through Matthew 16 and Peter’s confession
• the local church as the New Testament norm
• essential new birth and the call to consecration
• different traditions naming the second experience
• covenant as God’s pattern in Scripture and Communion
• marriage vs cohabitation as a membership analogy
• Catholic vs Protestant views on rock and reception of grace
• the visible church and formal membership as covenant
• soldier vs civilian: duty, care, and perseverance
• an appeal to move from attendance to covenant belonging

Please don’t be in common law relationship with the bride of Christ, but enter a covenant
