The Big Picture
God's promises move from spoken hope → covenanted relationship → fulfilled in Christ → secured forever in resurrection life. This is not just ancient history-it is our story.
Weeks 1 & 9 are pure promises; 2, 3, 5, 6 are explicitly covenants; others are promises embedded in covenants or their fulfillment. This mirrors salvation history: promises birth covenants (Abrahamic to Davidic), all "Yes" in Christ-the eternal covenant's heart. The series' "Big Picture" aligns: from hope - bond - Christ + etemity.
"For in Christ every one of God's promises is a 'Yes." (2 Corinthians 1:20)
