One of the most damaging ๐ฅ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ being taught today is that the ๐๐ž๐ฐ ๐‚๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐š๐ง๐ญ is for the ๐‰๐ž๐ฐ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ง๐ฅ๐ฒ and does not apply to ๐†๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ž ๐›๐ž๐ฅ๐ข๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ.

This teaching strikes at the very heart of the Gospel because it attempts to separate what God joined together through ๐‰๐ž๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐‚๐ก๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ.

The reason an ๐ž๐ฑ๐ก๐š๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ is necessary is because ๐Ÿ๐š๐ฅ๐ฌ๐ž ๐๐จ๐œ๐ญ๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ž often survives by ignoring large portions of Scripture. A person can take one or two verses from Hebrews, Jeremiah, or Romans and build an entire theology around them while ignoring dozens of other passages that explain ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐๐ž๐ฐ ๐‚๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐ข๐ฌ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ.

The New Covenant was indeed promised to the ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ˆ๐ฌ๐ซ๐š๐ž๐ฅ and the ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐‰๐ฎ๐๐š๐ก. Scripture plainly says that. However, the New Testament also plainly teaches that ๐†๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ who were once strangers from the covenants of promise have now been ๐›๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ in ๐›๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐›๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐‚๐ก๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ, made ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ๐œ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ณ๐ž๐ง๐ฌ with the saints, made members of the ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž๐ก๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐†๐จ๐, made ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ๐ก๐ž๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ, made ๐ฉ๐š๐ซ๐ญ๐š๐ค๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐š๐ฆ๐ž ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ž, grafted into the same olive tree, baptized into the same body, and made ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐ง๐ž๐ฐ ๐ฆ๐š๐ง in Christ.

The ๐ฅ๐ข๐ž says the New Covenant is only for the Jews.

The ๐๐ข๐›๐ฅ๐ž says Gentiles are ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ๐ก๐ž๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ.

The ๐ฅ๐ข๐ž says the promises belong only to Israel.

The ๐๐ข๐›๐ฅ๐ž says the Gentiles are ๐ฉ๐š๐ซ๐ญ๐š๐ค๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐‡๐ข๐ฌ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ž ๐ข๐ง ๐‚๐ก๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ ๐›๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐†๐จ๐ฌ๐ฉ๐ž๐ฅ.

The ๐ฅ๐ข๐ž says God has two covenant peoples.

The ๐๐ข๐›๐ฅ๐ž says there is ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐›๐จ๐๐ฒ, ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐’๐ฉ๐ข๐ซ๐ข๐ญ, ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐Ÿ๐š๐ข๐ญ๐ก, ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐‹๐จ๐ซ๐, ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐Ÿ๐ฅ๐จ๐œ๐ค, and ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐’๐ก๐ž๐ฉ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐.

The ๐ฅ๐ข๐ž says Gentiles remain outside the covenant.

The ๐๐ข๐›๐ฅ๐ž says they are ๐ง๐จ ๐ฅ๐จ๐ง๐ ๐ž๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐š๐ง๐ ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐Ÿ๐จ๐ซ๐ž๐ข๐ ๐ง๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ but ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ๐œ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐ณ๐ž๐ง๐ฌ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ฌ๐š๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐ฌ and members of the ๐ก๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ž๐ก๐จ๐ฅ๐ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐†๐จ๐.

This is why ๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ซ๐ž๐ฅ๐ž๐ฏ๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐ฉ๐š๐ฌ๐ฌ๐š๐ ๐ž must be examined. Not a handful of verses. Not a favorite proof text. Not a theological tradition. ๐„๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฒ ๐ฉ๐š๐ฌ๐ฌ๐š๐ ๐ž.

When all the evidence is gathered together, the testimony is overwhelming. The New Covenant was ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ž๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ˆ๐ฌ๐ซ๐š๐ž๐ฅ, ๐ž๐ฌ๐ญ๐š๐›๐ฅ๐ข๐ฌ๐ก๐ž๐ ๐›๐ฒ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐›๐ฅ๐จ๐จ๐ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐‰๐ž๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐‚๐ก๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ, and opened to ๐‰๐ž๐ฐ ๐š๐ง๐ ๐†๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ž ๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ค๐ž through the Gospel. Believing Gentiles do not replace Israel, nor do they remain outside the covenant. They are ๐›๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก๐ญ ๐ข๐ง๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐œ๐จ๐ฏ๐ž๐ง๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ž๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ก๐ซ๐จ๐ฎ๐ ๐ก ๐‚๐ก๐ซ๐ข๐ฌ๐ญ and become ๐Ÿ๐ž๐ฅ๐ฅ๐จ๐ฐ๐ก๐ž๐ข๐ซ๐ฌ of the same promises.

An honest student of Scripture cannot build doctrine from ๐จ๐ง๐ž ๐ฏ๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ๐ž while ignoring ๐Ÿ๐ข๐Ÿ๐ญ๐ฒ ๐จ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ๐ฌ. The truth is found when ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ญ๐ก๐ž ๐ž๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ž๐ง๐œ๐ž is allowed to speak.

That is why ๐ž๐ฑ๐ก๐š๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐ฏ๐ž ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ฎ๐๐ข๐ž๐ฌ matter.

Because ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก welcomes examination.

Only ๐ž๐ซ๐ซ๐จ๐ซ fears the full testimony of Scripture.

So starting tomorrow we are publishing our extensive study project:

๐–๐‡๐Ž ๐ˆ๐’ ๐“๐‡๐„ ๐๐„๐– ๐‚๐Ž๐•๐„๐๐€๐๐“ ๐…๐Ž๐‘?

We are going to destroy this lie with Scripture and prove that the New Covenant, from ๐Œ๐š๐ญ๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ฐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐‘๐ž๐ฏ๐ž๐ฅ๐š๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง, is for ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ž๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž: ๐‰๐ž๐ฐ๐ฌ, ๐’๐š๐ฆ๐š๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐š๐ง๐ฌ, ๐†๐ž๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐ฅ๐ž๐ฌ, and the ๐ฐ๐ก๐จ๐ฅ๐ž ๐ฐ๐จ๐ซ๐ฅ๐.

๐๐จ ๐จ๐ง๐ž is excluded from entering the New Covenant if they respond to the ๐๐ซ๐š๐ฐ๐ข๐ง๐  and ๐œ๐š๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐†๐จ๐.

HOW OFFENSE OPERATES IN SECRET UNTIL IT EXPLODES
Most people never see offense coming.
Not because they werenโ€™t discerningโ€ฆ but because offense is patient.
It doesnโ€™t announce itself. It doesnโ€™t show up loud. It moves underneathโ€ฆ quietly buildingโ€ฆ quietly growingโ€ฆ until one day something small happens and the reaction is enormous. And everyone in the room is shockedโ€ฆ except the person who has been feeding it for months.
Here is how it works.
1. IT STARTS AS A MOMENT
One conversation. One decision that wasnโ€™t explained. One time they felt overlooked or undervalued. Most people would address it and move on. But an offended person files it away.
2. IT GROWS IN ISOLATION
Offense feeds on silence. The longer it goes unaddressed the bigger it becomes. What started as a moment becomes a narrative. And that narrative gets darker every time it is replayed in private.
3. IT BEGINS RECRUITING
This is where it gets dangerous. An offended person rarely stays offended alone. They start sharing their narrativeโ€ฆ carefullyโ€ฆ selectivelyโ€ฆ to people they trust. They are not gossiping in their mind. They are just โ€œprocessing.โ€ But they are building a case and assembling a jury at the same time.
4. IT REWRITES HISTORY
By the time offense has fully taken rootโ€ฆ everything gets reinterpreted through it. Every good thing you did gets a suspicious motive attached to it. Every mistake gets magnified. The relationship you thought you hadโ€ฆ never existed in their version of the story.
5. IT FINALLY EXPLODES
And when it doesโ€ฆ you are not ready. Because from where you were standing nothing was wrong. But they have been at war with you in their mind for a long time. The explosion feels sudden to youโ€ฆ but it was never sudden. It was just finally visible.
Hebrews 12:15 says it plainlyโ€ฆ โ€œSee to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.โ€
Notice what the Word says. The root grows. It causes trouble. And it defiles MANY. Not just the offended person. Not just the relationship. Many. That is the collateral damage of offense that nobody talks about. It never stays contained. It always spreads further than anyone expected.
Here is what you need to understandโ€ฆ offense is a root. And roots do their most destructive work underground before anything ever breaks the surface. Jesus warned us about it. Leaders must discern it. Communities must refuse to protect it.
If something hurt youโ€ฆ say it. If a conversation needs to happenโ€ฆ have it. Unexpressed offense does not stay private forever. It always finds a way outโ€ฆ and it is almost never clean when it does.
Have you ever been blindsided by someoneโ€™s offense? Drop a comment belowโ€ฆ this conversation is necessary.

Gospels 101: John!

Johnโ€™s Audience is written to all who would believe. Jew and Gentile throughout the world then and preserved by God for us now.

06/24/2026

Comparison has killed more calls of God than the enemy ever has.

One of the greatest threats to your calling is not always persecution, opposition, or warfare.

Sometimes it is comparison.

Comparison has buried more destinies than many battles ever could because it causes people to abandon what God uniquely called them to do while chasing what He called someone else to do.

Peter learned this lesson firsthand.

After Jesus restored him, Peter's focus shifted to John and he asked, "Lord, what about this man?" (John 21:21).

Jesus essentially responded, "What is that to you? You follow Me."

In other words, Peter, your assignment is not John's assignment.

Your race is not John's race.

Your calling is not John's calling.

Your responsibility is to follow Me.

Some of you have spent too much time asking God about someone else's lane while neglecting your own.

You have watched their platform, their influence, their opportunities, their gifts, and their growth, and in the process you've stopped stewarding what God placed in your own hands.

Comparison is dangerous because it makes you despise the very thing Heaven entrusted to you.

It convinces the hand that it should be an eye.
It convinces the foot that it should be an ear.
It convinces the hidden parts of the body that they have no value.

But the Bible says we are one body with many members.

Every part is necessary.

Every part is intentional.

Every part was designed by God.

The eye cannot replace the hand.

The hand cannot replace the foot.

And while you are busy wishing you were someone else, there is a vacancy in the Kingdom where your obedience should be.

The Body suffers when people refuse to function in the role God assigned them.

Jealousy is not a small issue.

Jealousy is fertile ground for demonic influence.

James 3:16 says, โ€œFor where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there."

James doesn't say envy creates a few problems.

He doesn't say envy creates occasional issues.

He says where envy and selfish ambition exist, every evil thing finds room to operate.

Jealousy creates an atmosphere that welcomes confusion.

It welcomes division.
It welcomes offense.
It welcomes strife.
It welcomes suspicion.
It welcomes every manner of darkness.

The enemy loves jealous hearts because jealousy causes people to become more focused on another person's blessing than their own obedience.

Lucifer's fall began when he became dissatisfied with the position God gave him and desired what belonged to another.

The truth is that you were never called to be the next anyone.

You were called to be faithful.

David never became Saul.
Elisha never became Elijah.
John the Baptist never became Peter.

They changed the world because they embraced their own assignment.

The Holy Spirit is calling the Church back to contentment in calling.

Back to faithfulness.
Back to stewardship.
Back to running our race with endurance.

Stop measuring your seed against someone else's harvest.

Stop comparing your beginning to someone else's middle.

Stop looking sideways and start looking upward.

God is not going to ask you why you weren't someone else.

He is going to ask what you did with what He placed in your hands.

Church, comparison kills calling, but obedience brings fulfillment.

The Kingdom does not need another copy of someone else.

It needs the version of you that God created before the foundations of the world.

Walk in your call.
Stay in your lane.
Carry your mantle.

The Body is waiting for what God placed inside of you.
