Spring 2026

Ministering the Word of God is a high and holy calling that we often think applies mainly to pastors and others who serve the church in formal ways. But you don’t have to be a seminary graduate, a gifted orator, or a renowned Bible scholar to minister God’s Word to others. It is the calling of all Christians. This issue of Covenant provides helpful insights on how both pastors and everyday believers can, by the power of the Spirit, walk humbly with Jesus to embody his grace and draw others to him.
