What separates an eternal promise of God from a conditional agreement? In this episode, hosts Shelley and June Volk dive deep into the scriptural foundations of biblical covenants, breaking down how God relates to both Israel and the global body of believers today.

The hosts review the foundational, unconditional agreements—the Abrahamic Covenant passed down through Isaac and Jacob, and the royal Davidic Covenant establishing an everlasting throne. They contrast these with the Mosaic Covenant, exploring how its conditional blessings and curses shaped Israel's history. Finally, they reveal the beautiful resolution found in Yeshua (Jesus), who bore the curse of the law to bring both Jew and Gentile together into one new man.
