Covenants of God

The "religious tradition" of the church I attend is one that promotes the taking of the communion each week. Our church used to have one of the men share a short devotional thought and then pray over the emblems. I enjoy this practice because it gives me a chance to publicly speak/teach in a manner that I don't often get to because I am no longer in full-time ministry. However, a year or so ago, the leadership began requesting that men only pray over the communion and not share a devotional.

Being passive-aggressive I have come up with a round-about way to still share a message. When it is my turn I use my announcement slides and my prayer to share an insight. So, for this one, I wanted to talk about how God's covenants and how communion is a symbol of the covenant relationship we have with God. Each of these slides bring remembrance of God's faithfulness to the people He has made covenants with in the past.

As I prayed, I mentioned each covenant and the fulfillment of that covenant as a testimony to God's faithfulness.

Genesis 3:15

Genesis 9:11

Genesis 12:2

Genesis 22:15-18

Exodus 19:4-6

Psalm 89:3-4

Matthew 26:26-28
I didn't actually use this Matthew 26 one. After I made the slide, I found this one and thought it was much better, both execution and with my theme.
