Why Biblical Covenants Are Still a Big Deal
Throughout Scripture, we encounter lots of different covenants. These are promises and agreements that God has made. Why are they so central to understanding Scripture—and the heart of God Himself? Why don’t we talk more about them? This week on The Land and the Book, we’ll discover why biblical covenants are still a big deal. And, of course, we'll cover all the major news stories from the Middle East—answer your Bible questions—and enjoy Charlie Dyer’s and more—on The Land and the Book.
