Lenten Insights: A Promise, A Family, and A Sign with Jenn Lozano and Lisa Livezey

Join Jenn and Lisa in kicking off our Lenten series talking about covenant in Genesis 9:8-15.

We start with the theme of light in the Scriptures. Light bursts from darkness in creation, shines as a prism the post-flood rainbow, and Jesus comes as the Light of the World.

A covenant offers three aspects: a promise, a family, and a sign, and we discover how each aspect relates to the “light” moments in Scripture.

PROMISE: At Creation, consequences are promised if eating the forbidden fruit. After the flood, God promises never to flood to world again. Jesus offered promises such as eternal life, the Holy Spirit, and the sharing in His sufferings.

FAMILY: The Creation family was Adam and Eve. Noah’s family was saved at the flood. With Jesus, we have the family of Christ. Jenn reminds us that Jesus’ invitation is for all people.

SIGN: A sign is the Holy Spirit being present at each event. The Spirit of God hovered over the waters at Creation, the dove of the Holy Spirit brought an olive branch to Noah, and the descent of the Dove at Jesus’ baptism.

Don’t miss Lisa’s story about seeing a literal “sign from God.”

This episode is a treasure – a spiritual pot of gold surrounding God’s rainbow of hope.
