This Covenant Bible Study experience will guide participants in a comprehensive, in-depth study of the Bible over twenty-four weeks. Unlike the learning participants may have experienced in other groups, this in-depth study of the whole Bible emphasizes the biblical concept of covenant as a unifying pattern through all the books in the Old and New Testaments. It underscores the unique relationship that God chooses to have with us as God’s people. This relationship is grounded in the faithfulness of God’s love and on our ongoing commitment to stay in love with God while we share signs of that love with others. GOD ESTABLISHES THE COVENANT to be in relationship with us. The first participant guide, Creating the Covenant, is available for purchase within the app. It examines how the covenant community is created and established—highlighting several examples throughout scripture. It discusses the story of our origins in Genesis, the Exodus narrative, the teachings of Moses, the Gospels of Matthew and Mark, as well as other books from each Testament that focus on the foundation of Christian faith. Also available for purchase within the app are the second guide—Living the Covenant, the third guide—Trusting the Covenant, the Covenant Leader Guide, the Covenant Meditations, and additional videos.
