In part 3 of this series, host/teacher Rob Price unpacks a handful of mysterious New Testament verses that directly point to an event within the Godhead Trinity that happened before our own time/space history began. This event or decision was called the "everlasting covenant" and understanding it profoundly affects our view of the true Gospel.This teaching is an attempt at open heart surgery on very Godhead Himself: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Could it be that God doesn't make make or cut covenants, but that HE IS COVENANT? What roles do each of the Trinity play within their own covenant of love?Could this everlasting covenant explain why God permitted even the possibility of sin to enter His creation? Could it unveil why divinity IS a Trinity?

In part 2 of this series, host Rob Price now moves you beyond the definition of what a covenant means (part 1) and takes you into the short Bible story that serves as a mind-blowing metaphor and beautiful illustration of the concept of a blood covenant.It's a story about the inter-relationships between David, Jonathan and Mephibosheth...and it details how "covenant" IS the Gospel message!"This often-missed story tucked away in the Old Testament opened my eyes as a grown adult to see what had actually transpired when I had said yes to Jesus as a young child," says Rob. "The revelation that I was included in a blood covenant before I was even born fundamentally changed how I understood the Gospel."Rob and speaker/author Jim Garlow co-wrote the book The Blood Covenant several years ago.

Let's just admit it: the Bible is an eclectic book. Think about it: after the account of man's original sin and the great flood that wiped out the entire human race except for 8 people, the Scriptures seem to be filled with a handful of stories about the struggling nation of Israel, seemingly random personal narratives, passionate songs of praise, words of wisdom, hard-hitting prophecies, the four accounts of Jesus' life on earth, apostolic letters, and more allegorical prophecy. But could there be a single overarching theme planted inside the pages of the Word? Something hidden in plain sight for the serious student of Scripture to see with fresh eyes? Is there a thread of revelation truth that weaves itself through the "entire Bible that makes the Bible make sense?"There is....and it's summed up in one word: COVENANT. Or, if you like adjectives, then perhaps two words: BLOOD COVENANT.This episode of Word Search launches a new Bible series by host Rob Price called The Blood Covenant that retraces the steps he's learned about the single most important revelation of the Gospel message. In part 1, Rob begins your journey into the heart of God's unconditional love for you by breaking down in great detail a single question "What is a covenant?"After having taught on the subject for more than 20 years in Bible studies at his local church, and after having co-authored a book with friend Jim Garlow titled The Blood Covenant, Rob is now releasing this life-changing content via podcast."When I first heard this teaching on covenant from Bible teacher/speaker Malcolm Smith on radio and on audio cassette back in the early 1990s, it fundamentally changed my life, and I was already a Christian!" says Rob.  Several years later, Rob began to teach the same powerful content of Biblical truth to small group Bible studies and occasionally even to entire congregations as a sermon. Today, Rob says it is his life message: "If I had but one Bible study to teach, it would be on the blood covenant!"Got a question about something you heard in an episode?
