The Covenant Thread
Watch one promise travel thousands of years — from a rainbow over a flooded world to a city where God lives with His people. Ten sessions trace the covenants that hold the whole Bible together.
Reading 1
The Covenant of the RainbowGenesis 9:1–17The thread begins after the flood, when God sets His bow in the clouds and covenants never again to destroy all flesh by flood.
Reading 2
The Call of AbramGenesis 12:1–9The storyline moves to Abram: God calls one man and promises that through him all the families of the earth will be blessed.
Reading 3
God’s Covenant with AbramGenesis 15:1–7God confirms His promise to Abram with a covenant ceremony in which a smoking firepot and blazing torch pass between the pieces.
Reading 4
The Covenant SealedExodus 24:1–11Abraham's family has become a nation, and at Sinai the covenant is sealed in blood as Israel pledges to live as God's own people.
Reading 5

Reading 7
A New Heart and a New SpiritEzekiel 36:16–38Ezekiel fills in how the new covenant will work: God will give His people a new heart and put His own Spirit within them.
Reading 8
The Last SupperLuke 22:14–23At a Passover table, Jesus lifts the cup and declares the promise fulfilled — 'this cup is the new covenant in My blood.'
Reading 9
The New CovenantHebrews 8:6–13Hebrews looks back over the whole thread and explains why the covenant Jesus mediates is better — built on better promises, with Jeremiah's words come true.
Reading 10
A New Heaven and a New EarthRevelation 21:1–8The thread reaches its destination: God dwells with His people forever, and the covenant refrain — 'they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them' — is finally home.
