Episode notes
The Covenants: God’s Plan Unfolding | Chapter 7
How do the covenants of the Old Testament fit into the story of redemption?
In this episode of Three Questions for Reading the Bible, Pastor Scott Dollar looks at God’s covenant with Noah and His covenant with Abraham. We’ll see how God preserves His creation, makes His promises, and steadily unfolds His plan of redemption.
The story of Noah reminds us that the flood did not change the human heart. Humanity still needs a Savior. The covenant with Abraham then moves the story forward as God promises a people, a place, and a blessing—and ultimately points us to the promised Seed, Jesus Christ.
Along the way, we’ll ask the three questions that guide this series:
- Where does this fit in God’s story?
- How does this function as Law or Gospel?
- How does this reveal Christ as Prophet, Priest, and King?
The covenants are not disconnected stories. They are part of God's unfolding plan, moving us toward the fulfillment of His promises in Christ.
God preserves. God promises. God fulfills.
Join Pastor Scott Dollar as we continue learning to read the Bible as one unified story—and to see Christ in every page without complicated tools.
