The Promise of Covenant

At Mount Sinai, God makes a covenant with His people—a binding promise that defines their relationship with Him. In Exodus 20 and 24, we see how this covenant ceremony fits the ancient world while revealing something unique about God: He doesn’t just demand loyalty—He binds Himself to His people. Throughout the Bible, God continues making and keeping covenant promises, ultimately fulfilled in Jesus. At the Last Supper, Jesus declares a new covenant in His blood, offering a better promise and a restored relationship with God. In this teaching, we explore what covenant means, why it mattered to Israel, and how Jesus fulfills God’s promises for us today.
