Luke 5:36-39

Listen to Luke 5:36-39

The Patches and the Wineskins

36 He also told them a parable: “No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and sews it on an old one. If he does, he will tear the new garment as well, and the patch from the new will not match the old. ¹

37 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will spill, and the wineskins will be ruined.

38 Instead, new wine is poured into new wineskins.

39 And no one after drinking old wine wants new, for he says, ‘The old is better.’”

Obsolete and Eternal Covenants, Part 1

Pastor Mike Fabarez

Read through the Old Testament, and you’ll find 613 commandments to obey. They encompass everything from social ethics, to family dynamics, to personal hygiene! You can imagine that trying to observe all 613 rules would be overwhelming. So how many of these rules are Christians supposed to follow? On this edition of Focal Point, Mike Fabarez helps us see the difference between Obsolete & Eternal Covenants. Those old, and rigid, ways of connecting with God became our-dated the moment Jesus appeared.

Today, Pastor Jack shares with us the parable about how a new patch of garment is not fit for an old garment. Jesus is instructing the people on the purpose of the law, that the law cannot renew us compared to a new spiritual life made available only through God’s mercy, compassion, and grace.
