WEEK 1 · CREATION TO NOAH
Universal Covenant
Genesis 1–11 as a movement from order to disorder and back again, and the Noahic covenant as God’s unconditional commitment to preserve and restore creation.
OTHER BIBLE STUDY CURRICULA · 5 WEEKS
Covenant, Kingdom, and People of God
From creation to Christ, one covenant at a time.
OVERVIEW
How God forms a people.
This five-week Bible study traces how God forms a people and establishes God’s Kingdom through a series of covenants that move the story from creation to Christ.
God’s covenants show both continuity and development. God’s faithful pledge creates the covenant reality, and through each stage God shapes a covenant people until everything finds its fulfillment in Christ.
FIVE WEEKS · FIVE COVENANTS
The journey, week by week.
WEEK 2 · ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB
Ancestral Covenant
The patriarchs as sojourners, and the Abrahamic covenant of descendants, land, and blessing: God’s unilateral faithfulness, and a sign that moves from circumcision to the circumcision of the heart.
WEEK 3 · MOSES AND SINAI
National Covenant
The Exodus as a way out, a way through, and a way in, and the Mosaic covenant forming Israel into a kingdom of priests and a holy nation, with God’s presence among them.
WEEK 4 · DAVID AND JEREMIAH 31
Messianic Covenant
Israel’s kings, the road to exile, and the Davidic covenant of house, throne, and everlasting kingdom, with Jeremiah’s promise of a New Covenant.
WEEK 5 · JESUS
New Covenant
Jesus as New King, New Exodus, and New Creation: his baptism, cross, burial, resurrection, and the Lord’s Supper, and a life of discipleship in “The Way.”
