Covenant Renewal

At Every Covenant Renewal Service,

you should

1. Come into God’s presence

We get called in. It is imperative. You have to come.

2. Confess and Repent of any outstanding sins 

Do this everyday but if the Spirit brings up anything you haven't confessed and repented of, do it now.

3. Receive the Lord’s pardon

Stop groveling in regret, shame and guilt. Stand up forgiven, bold in the presence of the Lord.

4. Forgive anyone that has wronged you

Really, you can do this today. Even big wrongs against you. It only takes a few seconds, if you will.

5. Rejoice with singing

How can such forgiven and forgiving sinners not rejoice?

6. Hear the Word of the Lord, read, preached, and applied

Not just hear it with your ears, but hear it with your heart.

7. Be a hearer of the Word and not just a doer

Now do it. When the charge of the Word is clear, your resistance is disobedience.

8. Commune with God and His people

At the Lord's Supper, you should be at peace with God and as far as it depends upon you, at peace with all saints. Then sit down and eat with them.

9. Depart in peace

Go out in His peace, peace with God and men to fulfill His mandate for every knee to bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
