Covenant Bible Study: Living Participant Guide [Paperback]

This Covenant 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 Gods people. This relationship is grounded in the faithfulness of Gods love and on our ongoing commitment to stay in love with God while we share signs of that love with others.?

Each episode connects to an aspect of this covenant relationship, which is summarized in the heading of each participant guide.

COVENANT TRANSLATES INTO ACTIONSinto how we behave in our everyday lives.? Thats why the second module, Living the Covenant, focuses on how the community lives out their covenant in faithful lovehow its applied to actual relationships in daily life.?

The books included in these eight episodes examine the practical challenges of faithful covenant life. We explore leadership problems among tribal chieftains, kings and prophets, and spiritual and political crises. They look for practical wisdom and guidance in the teachings of Israels sages, the letters of Paul, and more.

And by demonstrating how people of vastly different cultures came together in a common purpose, they show how faithful love is the root of the covenant life.?lÓ!
