A covenant is a bond. A promise. A token of abiding love.

Promises ground us. With every promise comes stability and beauty. Every kept vow gives courage and hope. In Promises Kept, passionate and gifted Bible teacher Courtney Reissig takes students through five Old Testament covenants—promises—with the goal of seeing God’s beautiful storyline.

What are the purposes of God’s covenants and how do they inform and transform the way we live? During these six weeks, we discover the meaning of God’s Covenant with Adam, Abraham, the Exodus and Passover, the Mosaic Covenant, God’s Covenant with David, and the New Covenant Promised. Participants see God’s purposes for His people, their place in His purposes, and how the entire Bible fits together. Additionally, we will see how Jesus fulfills God’s loving covenants.

Each day of homework can be completed in 20–30 minutes, with rest days included. In the process of this study, readers learn and employ an interpretive method: observe, interpret, and apply. This simple yet indispensable tool is a gift that will equip and bless all further Bible study. As we dive into God’s precious promises to the people He loves, we’ll find our hearts strengthened and encouraged to face our days with greater love and courage.

Where do you go when all that once stabilized your spiritual life suddenly shifts underneath you? When your faith is shaken and your leaders fail you? When you're languishing in ministry burnout? When you're grieving a friend who walked away from God? When the doubts, disappointments, and sufferings of this broken world tempt you to walk away from him too? Author and Bible teacher Courtney Reissig has wrestled with these questions. And when painful circumstances pulled down the trappings of easy Christianity and pushed her back against the wall of her faith, she had to decide. Will I walk away, or will I stay? And if I stay and wade through the rubble, what is left there to believe in? It is here in the hardest point of her story—in the season where trust was eroded and spiritual stability seemed elusive—where God met her. By opening her eyes to crucial and comforting moments in the Gospel of John, God made it clear: even in the most unstable and changing of times, there is One who stays the same. His name is Jesus Christ, and he's someone to believe in.  If you feel disoriented, doubting, grieving, exhausted, or shaken in your faith, open these pages, and encounter the steadying power of the unchangeable Christ.
