Covenant: The Story of the Bible
From the first pages of Genesis to the life of the church today, the Bible tells a single, unified story held together by God's covenant promises. Each agreement God makes with His people, through Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, David, and finally Jesus, builds on the last and points to something greater. At the heart of it all is a God who takes full responsibility for keeping His word, who rescues not because His people deserve it but because He is relentlessly faithful. By the end of this series, the grand sweep of Scripture comes into focus, and what once seemed like disconnected stories becomes a coherent, breathtaking account of divine love that changes how we read the Bible, understand salvation, and live as God's people today.
