Genesis 8-9

What separates a covenant from a simple agreement or contract? Dr. Bryan Stensaas continues through Genesis 8 and 9, tracing God's faithfulness to Noah after the flood and unpacking the rainbow as the sign of His covenant never to destroy the earth by flood again. He walks through the difference between an agreement, a contract, and a covenant, showing that a covenant is a binding relationship built on commitment rather than convenience. The study closes with an overview of the major biblical covenants, from Eden to Moses, each one revealing God's relentless pursuit of relationship with mankind.
