One of the biggest challenges Christians face when reading the Bible is boredom. Often we read it like it’s just one book, chapter by chapter, instead of what it truly is—a unified story that leads us to Jesus. In this episode, we kick off a new series on the Promises of God by exploring covenant and why God’s promises never fail.

What We Cover in This Episode

• Why the Bible is best read through the lens of typology—seeing how Old Testament people, events, and covenants point forward to Christ.
• What a covenant really is: more than a contract, it’s a binding relational promise.
• The five major covenants God made in the Old Testament (Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses, and David) and how they all lead to Jesus.
• A deep dive into Jeremiah 31:31–37 and what it teaches us about God’s covenant faithfulness.

Key Takeaways

1. God remembers His promises, even when people do not. Our faith may fail, but His never does.
2. God never changes His promise—He provides a new way. The covenant reaches its fulfillment in Christ, who cannot fail.
3. God brings order in chaos. His unshakable promises are more certain than the rising sun or the stars in the sky.

Why This Matters The Bible isn’t a random collection of stories—it’s one story pointing to Christ. God’s promises are unshakable, not because of our faithfulness but because of His. Understanding covenant and typology helps us see God’s faithfulness woven through the entire biblical narrative.
