Have you ever made a promise to someone? Have you ever broken a promise you made to someone? Has someone broken a promise to you? The studies for fall consider the major covenant, or promises, God made with people on behalf of the earth and the human community. First, the sessions take a look at Noah and God's covenant with creation. They also explore covenants God made with Abram, Phinehas, and Ezekiel. Ultimately, God's covenant forms the foundation for the coming Messiah and salvation for the world!
Fall Theme: Covenant (Genesis, Ezekiel, Exodus, 1-2 Samuel, Nehemiah, Jeremiah, Hebrews, and 1 Corinthians)
