KIDS SPACE with EXPANDED MOTHER'S ROOM!
Along with over 2000 sq ft of dedicated play and classroom spaces for babies, kids, and youth, we just expanded our Mother's Room — a quiet, private space for Mother's to care for their babies and still be able to watch the worship and sermon on Sunday mornings. https://www.instagram.com/oasischurchva/reel/C8FqHIipr3u/

    - Content of covenant
    - Divine witness
- God is a promise maker and a promise keeper
- God’s covenants are unilateral: they are established and fulfilled by God alone
- Hebrews 6:13-15
- God bound himself, to himself, through himself.
- God’s covenants are irrevocable
