Promises Kept: 5 Old Testament Covenants and How Christ Fulfilled Them
A covenant is a bond. A promise. A token of abiding love. Promises ground us. With every promise comes stability and beauty. Every kept vow gives courage and hope. In Promises Kept, passionate and gifted Bible teacher Courtney Reissig takes students through five Old Testament covenants—promises—with the goal of seeing God's beautiful storyline. What are the purposes of God's covenants and how do they inform and transform the way we live? During these six weeks, we discover the meaning of God's Covenant with Adam, Abraham, the Exodus and Passover, the Mosaic Covenant, God's Covenant with David, and the New Covenant Promised. Participants see God's purposes for His people, their place in His purposes, and how the entire Bible fits together. Additionally, we will see how Jesus fulfills God's loving covenants. Each day of homework can be completed in 20–30 minutes, with rest days included. In the process of this study, readers learn and employ an interpretive method: observe, interpret, and apply. This simple yet indispensable tool is a gift that will equip and bless all further Bible study. As we dive into God's precious promises to the people He loves, we'll find our hearts strengthened and encouraged to face our days with greater love and courage.

"Too many of us approach the Bible as if it contains two opposing halves: the Old Testament and the New Testament. Law and grace. Angry God, nice Jesus. This perspective is common, and unfortunate, because it misses the true relationship between the Old Testament and the New, which is symmetry. Jesus' life and teachings are constantly calling back to the Law and the Prophets in the most subtle and breathtaking ways, but we will miss all that is happening before our very eyes unless we have teachers to guide us. Thankfully, Courtney Reissig is just such a guide, illuminating the beauty and the depths of God's Word in both accessible and practical ways. This is a wonderful resource!"
