Covenants Give You Access to God's Blessings
A covenant is a two-way promise — and God never fails His side.
The promise
Covenants connect you to a power that doesn't come from you, but becomes available to you.
Faithfulness to commitments is learned at home long before it's learned at church.
How to support
Keep the promises you make to your children, even the small ones. That's how 'covenant' stops being an abstract word and becomes experience.
To start the conversation
- 1“What makes a promise important to you?”
- 2“Do you remember your baptism? What did you feel?”
- 3“Is there a commitment you find hard to keep? Can I help?”
Today's pressures
Throwaway culture, difficulty keeping commitments, and seeing religion as rules rather than relationship.
