from The Bridge · host Joyce Dorian
Most of us have only scratched the surface of what God’s covenants really mean.In this episode of The Bridge, I sit down with Pastor Thomas Lewis to unpack one of the most important — and often misunderstood — foundations of our faith: God’s promises to Israel and what they mean for us today.Together, we explore:Why God’s covenants are unbreakable and ongoingThe difference between conditional and unconditional promisesWhy the idea that the Church replaced Israel has caused deep confusionHow believers are grafted into God’s promises — not a replacement of themWhat this means for how we read Scripture and understand God’s planThis conversation brings clarity to questions many believers wrestle with:What is the role of Israel today?How do the Old and New Testaments connect?And what has always been God’s plan?At the heart of it all is this truth:God is faithful to His promises — yesterday, today, and forever.If you’ve ever felt confused about covenants, prophecy, or how it all fits together… this episode will help you see Scripture with fresh clarity and deeper understanding.🎙️ The Bridge exists to bring understanding and healing to the disconnect between Jews and Christians — and this conversation is right at the heart of that mission.Keywords:Biblical covenants, Israel and the Church, Jewish roots of Christianity, Old Testament New Testament connection, Bible prophecy, faith and Scripture, grafted into Israel, God’s promises
