This week we’re going to think about the Biblical theme of Covenants. The best modern example of a covenant is marriage. How would you explain what a marriage is to a 4 or 5 year old? What are the commitments, privileges, and responsibilities of a marriage covenant? What is the role of trust in a covenant relationship?
Explore
What are some of the different covenants in the Bible and where would you go to find them? What is a biblical covenant according to the scriptures?
What does God promise the people of Israel if they keep their covenant with him in Deuteronomy 29:9? What does God promise the people of Israel will be like if they keep their covenant with him in Exodus 19:5-6. What is the context of the New Covenant that Jesus establishes in Luke 22:14-20? In what ways does God’s provision, power, protection, and promises all flow through the covenants?
Apply
Since God’s covenants are built on people trusting his word, are we, as God’s children, trustworthy in the eyes of others? What would other people say about your trustworthiness? Do you keep your commitments and stay true to your word? What situations would cause you to vacillate? If everything we do is either earning or undermining trust, what sorts of things can we say and do to earn trust with one another? What sorts of things undermine trust? What practical steps can we take to become increasingly more transparent, consistent, and faithful?

Church family-
I’m excited to share that our church now has access to an extensive, new video library called RightNow Media! It’s like the "Netflix of Video Bible Studies" and has a HUGE library of faith-based videos that you can access whenever and wherever you want—on your phone, iPad, computer, or at home on your TV.
As a church staff, we’re always looking for ways to help you develop and strengthen your faith. We believe that RightNow Media will be a tool to serve you as you live out your faith at home, at work and in your neighborhood. RightNow Media has videos for everyone—kids, youth, parents, married couples, college students, single adults, working professionals—all aimed at helping you grow.
You should have already received an official invitation email to give you FREE access to RightNow Media. If you haven't received it yet, check your mail filter (because it came from RightNow's system, it may have gotten caught there).
Once you find the email, simply click the link, sign up for an account, and you’re all set to explore more than 12,000 videos. We pray that RightNow Media will be a blessing for you and your family!
