Why Covenant?
“Then God spoke to Noah and his sons: ‘I’m setting up my covenant with you including your children who will come after you, along with everything alive around you.’” Genesis 9:8-9 THE MESSAGE
At Cross of Christ we believe that loving God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength; and loving others as yourself is what it means to be church. Covenant is simply a way of declaring that loving God and others is, in fact, a serious reality in your life. Covenant is actually a biblical word that implies meaningful relationship. It was God who covenanted with Noah, with Abram, and with the people of Israel. By doing so God was saying, “I will be your God, and you will be My people.” At Cross of Christ we want to invite you to covenant with us. By doing so, you are saying that with the help of God you will live out our shared values and join us in intersecting life & the love of Jesus.
Built on our belief that God’s Word alone is the basis for life and faith, we value these Biblical practices and intentionally look for ways to intersect them at every possible point of the church’s mission.
