Latest Book Study
Over the past seven weeks, our parish community came together to explore A Father Who Keeps His Promises by renowned Catholic theologian Scott Hahn. This enriching study helped us dive deep into the heart of Scripture, tracing God’s covenant love from the beginning of creation to its fulfillment in Jesus Christ.
Each week, we reflected on key moments in salvation history and saw how God’s unbreakable promises reveal His steadfast love for humanity. Through lively discussions, prayer, and reflection, we grew in our understanding of how these covenants shape our faith and relationship with God.
Throughout the study, we explored:
Creation & the Fall – The beginning of God’s relationship with humanity 🌍🍏
The Flood & Noah’s Covenant – A promise of renewal and hope 🌊🌈
Abraham’s Call to Trust – Faith in God’s promises ⭐
Moses & the Covenant at Sinai – God’s law and His presence among His people 🔥
David’s Eternal Kingdom – A royal covenant pointing to the Messiah 👑
The New Covenant in Christ – God’s ultimate promise fulfilled in Jesus ✝️
Each session offered profound insights into Scripture, helping us see the unity of God’s plan and the depth of His love throughout history.
Couldn’t join us live? No worries! All sessions are available on our YouTube channel so you can watch and reflect at your own pace.
