Genesis 24:61-67

This sermon explores the concept of covenant relationships, using the marriage of Isaac and Rebekah as a foundation to explain God's unconditional covenant of salvation with believers. Pastor Bruce Gordon emphasizes the critical distinction between contracts (which can be broken) and covenants (which are binding promises). Just as God established an unconditional covenant with Abraham in Genesis 15, He offers salvation through an unconditional covenant based solely on faith in Jesus Christ. The message challenges works-based salvation, asserting that salvation comes through believing God's Word, not through human effort or emotion. The sermon culminates in preparation for communion, which symbolically represents entering into this covenant relationship through Christ's broken body and shed blood.
