Bible and the Gospel | What Role do the Covenants Play in the Bible?
In this lecture, Dr. Trent Rogers explores the Adamic, Noahic, Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, and New Covenants, tracing how each one unfolds God’s redemptive plan and reveals His faithfulness through Christ. Discover how the biblical covenants form the structure of Scripture and point us to Jesus Christ — the fulfillment of every promise
