Today we are jumping right back into our series on covenant.

Although covenant is often understood to be a list of laws and rules, which are often seen as legalistic and binding, the covenant between God and humanity differs. Through close analysis of biblical covenants, we will see that the heart of divine covenant has always been about walking in relationship with God, knowing His character, and choosing to step into our role as His ambassadors to properly reflect His character to the ends of the earth.
