THREAD PODCAST EPISODE 13: COVENANT: THE SUZERAIN-VASSAL TREADY This Sunday, Steve Schmit talked us through God’s Covenant with Abraham– God's Divine Commitment and Abraham's Response. Abraham’s story reminds us that God’s promises endure, even when fulfillment feels distant or uncertain. His faith journey began with a bold step into the unknown, leaving behind the familiar in obedience to God’s call—an invitation we too are given as we navigate our own path of trust and surrender. Most importantly, we’re reminded that God’s covenant is not a reward for righteousness but a gift of grace. Like Abraham, we are invited into relationship with God not because of what we’ve done, but because of what He has done for us. Where might God be calling you to step out in faith, trusting in His promise rather than your own certainty? ___________________________________________________________________ Calendar: July 23, 2025 Yo-Pro Midweek July 30, 2025 Congregational Aug 6, 2025 Yo-Pro Midweek Aug 13, 2025 Congregational Aug 20, 2025 Youth & Family (Teens + Parents) Contribution: June 22, 2025 $18,375.19 June 29, 2025 $24,522.79 July 6, 2025 $25,617.96 July 13, 2025 $21,721.75 ___________________________________________________________________ Prayer Requests & Hope Worldwide Donations: Please continue to pray for all who have been impacted by the floods.
