Covenant Conversations

“Communication with God does not require a certain physical position, but postures do give expression to the attitudes of our hearts.”

How do you pray? Standing, kneeling, sitting, lying down, or walking? Or - all of the above?

During today’s conversation, we continue along our journey toward a deeper revelation of prayer. The Bible provides many accounts of prayer and details the different postures accompanied by those prayers. Today, we dive into understanding the various postures of prayer and their significance.

“Prayer is talked about more than anything else and practiced less than anything else.” And yet, for the believer, prayer remains one of the greatest gifts and most powerful weapons our Lord has given us outside of Salvation. Why then is it the least practiced?

During today’s conversation, we dive deep into how vitally important prayer is and why we should be more intentional to do it - whether we want to/like to. To have a more powerful and effective prayer life, you must first have a profound understanding of your spiritual identity and, second, take the correct position in prayer.

It’s time for you to see what you say and realize just how powerful you are! Join the conversation if you’re ready to take your prayer life to the next level!

Welcome back! To kick off the new season, we reveal the new format God has given us for Covenant Conversations: “a conversational bible study.” Additionally, we go into depth about our theme for Season 2, “Into the Deep,” while also diving into the importance of knowing, understanding, and living out spiritual maturity. Join the conversation to learn what spiritual maturity is and how you can achieve it!

Foundational Scripture: Hebrews 5:11-6:4

(Scripture References in Today’s Conversation: Colossians 1:28-29; Ephesians 4:11-16; 1 Peter 2: 1-3; 1 Corinthians 3; James 1:22-25; Philippians 3:12-14, 7-11, 15-16; Joshua 1:8; and 2 Timothy 2:15)

We are so excited to kick off Season Two of Covenant Conversations! We thought it was only right to start this new season off with prayer. So join us as we go "Into the Deep."

Though Paul learned to be content with material things (Phil 4:11), he was never content with spiritual achievements because the goal was to be like Christ (something we can never achieve.) Though impossible, it is still a goal we as Christians ought to strain towards. To strain means to make a strenuous or unusually great effort, a severe or excessive demand on strength, resources, or abilities of something or someone. But, to put a demand on anything, you must already have it. Thus, we must build up our strength (endurance), resources, and abilities for the time when God puts a demand on us. 

Think of running a marathon. If you don’t properly train and put your body through strenuous activity, you can pull a muscle or affect your morale. When God puts a demand on us, we don't want to spiritually or naturally hurt ourselves or others. To avoid harm, Train for the Strain. That involves preparing ourselves naturally (physically, emotionally, relationally, financially, etc.) and spiritually. Listen to the Season Finale, so you can identify if you are in training season or straining season. Learn how to train properly, so you don’t harm yourself during the strain. Join the conversation!

(Scripture Reference: Philippians 3:13)

Join us for a quick episode giving God thanks for all He is. Gratitude is always the best attitude. Join the conversation!

(Scripture Reference: Psalms 100)

To sack a city, you attack the gates. If you have the keys to the gate, you have authority over the city because gates are dominion places and provide access. In the bible, we see the many functions of “Gates”: for protection, as social hubs, where judgments and key decisions were made, where the prophets delivered messages, and where the economy was controlled. If we consider these physical gateways as representations of spiritual gateways, we see how essential it is to actively possess our gates and not let them slip into the hands of the enemy. Allowing the devil to control our gates gives the enemy access and dominion over our entire lives (economically, socially, politically, etc.) In today’s episode, we discuss the importance of possessing your gates AND taking back the gates (territory) the enemy stole/ has current dominion over. Join the conversation!

(Scripture Reference: Gen 22:17-18)

The title speaks for itself. How serious are you taking the things of God? How watchful are you over your assignment? It’s easy to get comfortable, there’s the temptation to be lazy or slip back into old habits, but we have to remain attentive because the enemy is prowling around seeking whom he may devour. The devil is WAITING for you to slip up. Don’t get caught slippin’! Join the conversation!

(Scripture Reference: 1 Peter 5:8-9)

Peace isn’t a destination; it’s a state of being. Worry, fear, and anxiety tend to take up space in our minds, rent-free, but we must relinquish it all to God by focusing on Him. He already promised us peace! It’s up to us to receive it. Join the conversation!

(Scripture Reference: Isaiah 54)

Once you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are saved by the blood and adopted as God’s child, His kin! But our kinship shouldn’t stop there. Kinship not only means relation by blood but is also defined as a sharing of characteristics. As Christians, we should seek kinship with Jesus not just by the blood but by character. As Christians, our character should reflect Christ’s character! Unfortunately, that isn’t always the case. Are you just a believer, or are you Jesus’ kin? Join the conversation!
