Powerful truth This is a message that every Christian needs to hear. Rev. Stewart provides a powerful explanation of the doctrine of covenanting and a concise history of two vitally important documents that are still relevant today: the National Covenant of Scotland (1638) and the Solemn League and Covenant (1643). At the time of his martyrdom in 1661, Rev. James Guthrie gave his public testimony for these covenants, including his statement the he was "witnessing unto the National Covenant in Scotland, Solemn League between the three Kingdoms; the Sacred Solemn and Publick Oath of God I cannot believe can be loosed by or dispensed with by any Person or Power, or any one on earth, but are still binding on these Nations, and will be forever hereafter." Afterwards he shouted, "The covenants, the covenants, shall yet be Scotland’s reviving!"

Outstanding Sermon! I appreciated many things about this sermon, but especially the following three points: 1.) Simplicity of presentation. It's an understandable introduction to covenanting for those who have no prior knowledge of the topic, and also a great review of the basics for those with more knowledge. 2.) As an American Covenanter, I was glad to hear the discussion of the relationship of the Solemn League and Covenant to the U.S. 3.)The hopeful remarks near the end of the sermon concerning God's reluctance to let go of His covenanted people. Looking at our nations today, it is easy to despair and lose hope that we will ever return to the Lord Jesus. But surely God will yet deal in mercy towards us!

Thank you! Thank you so much for sharing this message. I am an American with Scottish ancestry, and the Lord has laid Scotland on my heart to pray for her to be reformed again--that Christ might draw her again to Himself. This message was fantastic. I love your explanation of the separation of Church and State, and also your statement that God must be saying "how can I let you go." I believe He will save many souls there, and bring many sons to salvation. Soli Deo Gloria.

Covenanter Quote Completed, On Covenant Obligation Below is the end portion of the quote that was truncated in the comment above.
"Now, had it not been for this covenant, the extirpation of the Gibeonites would not have been imputed to Israel as a thing criminal; for they were comprehended in Canaanitish nations, which God had commanded them to root out."

Below is a related quote:
"Another instance in which posterity is recognized in covenant obligation is found in Joshua 9:15. This covenant was made between the children of Israel and the Gibeonites. Between four and five hundred years after that time, the children of Israel are visited with a very severe famine, in the days of David. 2 Sam. 21:1. And it is expressly declared by the Lord that, 'It is for Saul, and for his bloody house, because he slew the Gibeonites.' And at the same time, v. 2, that very covenant is recognized, and the breach of it is stated, as being the formal reason of the divine displeasure. Now, had it not been for this covenant, the extirpation of the Gibeonites would not have been imputed to Israel as a thi
