Renewing the CovenantJoshua 8.30-35

Compiled and Presented by:

Synopsis: As Israel continues into the promised land they take time to renew the covenant with Jehovah, just as Moses had commanded (Deuteronomy 27-28). This lesson will remind you to also renew your covenant with God also. Four specific reminders are to be a living sacrifice in serving God; write God’s law on your heart; be obedient; and to be a dedicated reader of God’s word.

“Let all that you do be done with love.”
