RETURN TO COVENANT

Course Introduction

Returning to the Ancient Path Through the Gospel of the Kingdom

Course Description

Return to Covenant is the free public guest course for Ephraim’s Cry Academy. It is designed to give students a clear, powerful, and Scripture-rooted introduction to the Gospel of the Kingdom, the restoration of covenant identity, and the call to return to the ancient paths.

This course confronts the difference between inherited religion and covenant truth. Many people have been taught fragments of the message, but not the full framework of repentance, redemption, salvation, obedience, identity, and restoration through 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤔𐤏 (Yahusha) HaMashiach.

Through thirteen foundational lessons, students will walk through the ancient path, the awakening of Ephraim, the Gospel most never heard, the danger of mixture, the Kingdom framework, the Four Witnesses of Elohim, the Hebraic mindset, covenant structure, the identity and work of Messiah, grace, faith, obedience, restored identity, and the cost of covenant faithfulness.

This is not a casual introduction. It is a call to examine foundations, come out of mixture, return to covenant, and decide whether you are ready to walk in what Scripture has always taught.

If you have sensed that something is missing, that inherited religion has not fully answered the deeper questions of Scripture, identity, obedience, and the Kingdom, this course was built for you.

Return to Covenant is your first step into Ephraim’s Cry Academy.

Welcome Message

Welcome to Return to Covenant.

Whether you arrived here through a teaching, a video, a recommendation from a friend, or simply because you have been searching for answers, I want to personally welcome you.

My name is Greg Witter, founder of Ephraim’s Cry Academy.

For many years I have studied, taught, and shared the Scriptures from a Hebraic mindset and covenant foundation. Along the way I have met thousands of people who sensed that something was missing from what they had been taught. They loved Elohim. They loved Scripture. They desired truth. Yet they often found themselves asking difficult questions that were never fully answered.

Questions about the Kingdom.

Questions about covenant.

Questions about obedience.

Questions about identity.

Questions about the Torah.

Questions about grace.

Questions about Israel.

Questions about prophecy.

Questions about why the Bible sometimes seemed to say one thing in one place and something different somewhere else.

The purpose of this course is not to convince you to join a denomination, movement, organization, or religious system.

The purpose of this course is to help you examine Scripture for yourself and discover the larger covenant story that runs from Genesis to Revelation.

Everything we teach at Ephraim’s Cry is built upon four foundational principles:

Scripture interprets Scripture.
The whole counsel of Elohim must be considered.
Context matters.
Truth must be lived, not merely believed.

Throughout this course we will explore the Gospel of the Kingdom, covenant restoration, the Four Witnesses of Elohim, the Hebraic mindset, the role of Messiah, the purpose of obedience, and the call to return to the ancient paths spoken of by the prophet Jeremiah.

My challenge to you is simple.

Come with an open Bible.

Come with a teachable spirit.

Test everything.

Examine everything.

Hold fast to what is true.

Most importantly, allow the Scriptures themselves to speak.

Why This Course Exists

Many believers have inherited a faith that is built upon isolated doctrines rather than the whole counsel of Elohim.

Many know individual stories but not the larger story.

Many know verses but not the framework.

Many know traditions but have never examined their foundations.

Many know what they believe but cannot explain why they believe it.

Return to Covenant exists to help restore that missing framework.

This course was created to provide a biblical foundation for understanding:

The Gospel of the Kingdom
Covenant and restoration
The Hebraic mindset
The Four Witnesses of Elohim
The identity and mission of Messiah
Grace, faith, and obedience
Kingdom citizenship
Covenant discipleship
Preparing for the return of the King

The goal is not information.

The goal is transformation.

The goal is not simply knowledge.

The goal is faithful discipleship.

The goal is not merely learning about the King.

The goal is learning to walk with the King.
