Covenant Bible Study offers an overview of the Old and New Testament scriptures with a focus on the Covenant that God is always seeking to create with humanity. While this study is designed for 24 sessions, those 24 sessions are broken up into 3 distinct units with 8 sessions per unit. These more targeted units are “Creating the Covenant”, “Living the Covenant”, and “Trusting the Covenant” and each grouping focuses on the texts from scripture that are most closely embodied the unit themes.
From the publisher:
“The goal is to deepen understanding of scripture, build community, and develop church leaders through small group study. It embraces a learning experience that builds trust in others and confidence in scripture for each participant-leveraging not just scriptural examples but also personal memories of God’s faithful love. It helps participants apply the Bible to their personal story, cultivating a life-long trust in God and a love of scripture.”
The Covenant Bible Study Kit contains everything a leader needs.
• Leader Guide: Contains comprehensive and detailed direction for the group leader to use in each meeting experience. Options are provided so that leaders can adapt to a group’s unique characteristics.
• Participant Guides: Walk participants through daily Bible readings and offer space to interact personally with the prayers, the group experience, and the weekly Covenant meditations.
• Meditations: Contains 66 meditations to supplement those in the participant guides because many participants find great personal benefit and contentment in an intimate connection with God through “praying scripture.”
• DVD Videos (Set of 3): Feature two pastor cohosts who engage 23 prominent biblical scholars in the 24 video episodes. The cohosts meet around the Covenant table with the scholars, asking questions about the week’s scripture readings that participants would likely ask the scholars. The conversations serve as a model for the kind of learning dynamic that is central to this study. There is one DVD for each Covenant module.
