Taken Hold Of: Pressing on Under the New Covenant

In this episode of Coffee with the Superintendent, we anchor ourselves in Philippians 3:12 and the powerful tension of the New Covenant life. The Apostle Paul reminds us that he has not already reached the goal, yet he presses forward because he has been taken hold of by Christ Jesus. This is not striving for acceptance but striving from acceptance.   In The First Pour, we explore the difference between Old Covenant performance and New Covenant union with Christ. We examine the already and the not yet reality of sanctification and what it means to pursue holiness because Christ has already secured our righteousness.   In The Second Pour, we celebrate birthdays, honor our School Resource Officer and his team, enjoy pizza day, and remind families that Open House launches open enrollment. Seats are now secured on a first come basis, so it is time to act with clarity and commitment.   In The Final Pour, we continue Part Four of our Parental Covenant series, focusing on Spiritual Partnership and Discipleship. We examine why alignment between home and academy is not merely procedural but theological. Under the New Covenant, transformation flows from the finished work of Christ and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit. A Christian school cannot disciple effectively without unified conviction around the gospel.   This episode calls us to press on personally, celebrate faithfully, and stand together spiritually.
