This study explores a few of these scriptures&#8211;some overlooked, some troubling&#8211;and shows how God works in and through everyday situations and conflicts to bring hope and faith to ordinary lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Covenant Bible Studies are relational Bible studies for small groups. Each contains 10 sessions that promote group interaction and open discussion about practical aspects of the Christian faith.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Behind the Drama: The Old Testament You Missed&#8221; is an upcoming Covenant Bible Study by Eugene F.
