DISCUSSION OF WEEK 2 - THE PROMISE

INTRODUCTION
We’re going through a study called “Cover to Cover: A 50-Day Flyover of the Bible.” By reading approximately 1-2 chapters a day and watching a few 5-8 minute videos from the Bible Project each week, we’ll discover the answers to some of life's biggest questions and come to a better, more helpful understanding of the Christian faith and the beauty of its promise for the world.  

This week, we’re discussing the readings, videos, and message from Week 2 titled “The Promise.”


REVIEW & DISCUSS
  1. Did you complete all readings? All the videos?
  2. What stood out to you from last week’s readings and videos? Any favorites or most interesting?
  3. Read Genesis 14:17-15:6. What do you make of Abraham's short encounter with Melchizedek? If you watched the recommended video about Melchizedek, can you recall who he is and his significance in the bigger story?
  4. What is the meaning of God’s covenant promise to Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3)?
  5. If you were Abraham, would you be able to believe God’s promise?
  6. Why is it difficult to trust God’s plan when you don’t know the details?
  7. A biblical covenant is like a partnership. How does seeing our relationship with God as a partnership change your perspective?
  8. In what way will experience God’s blessings if we learn to trust and commit to him?

TAKEAWAY
  1. What specific fears or doubts have held you back from trusting and obeying God?
  2. Instead of replaying your past or current fears, shift your focus to God. What comes to mind as you remember God’s trustworthy character?

PRAYER
First, take some time to ask people to identify prayer needs related to the discussion. Second, take some time to ask for additional prayer requests. Then close your time together in prayer.

About Us
First Covenant Church is part of the Evangelical Covenant Church (ECC), which is a rapidly growing multi-ethnic denomination in the United States and Canada, with ministries on five continents of the world. Founded in 1885 by Swedish immigrants, the ECC values the Bible as the word of God, the gift of God's grace, and an ever-deepening spiritual life that comes through faith with Jesus Christ. We value the importance of extending God's love and compassion to a hurting world, and the strength that comes from unity within diversity. ​
