Covenant: The Story of the Bible
God's story unfolds through promises He makes and keeps. From creation's cultural mandate to Noah's rainbow, from Abraham's faith to David's throne, each covenant reveals more of God's character and plan. Israel's repeated failure proved humanity needed more than fresh starts or good intentions. Jesus steps into that gap as the last Adam, the true King, the faithful Son who perfectly obeys, bears our curse, and wins eternal life for His people. Through His blood, the new covenant is sealed: God writes His law on our hearts, dwells among us by His Spirit, and gathers a global family. This series unpacks covenant theology, showing how baptism and the Lord's Supper connect us to God's ancient promise: I will be your God, and you will be my people. Understanding covenant transforms how we work, worship, and walk together as His redeemed community.

God promises Abraham descendants, land, and His presence, but the shocking twist is this: God takes full responsibility for keeping the covenant, even when we fail. This ancient promise reveals the heart of the Gospel.
