Covenant M/M Colors

Covenant means contract. God established an eternal covenant in the blood of His Son for all who receive Jesus as their personal Savior. We stand in the blood covenant with God and, as a result, we stand in covenant with each other.

Hebrews 13:20-21

20 Now may the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep,
21 equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Hebrews 8:6

6 But in fact the ministry Jesus has received is as superior to theirs as the covenant of which he is mediator is superior to the old one, since the new covenant is established on better promises.

Hebrews 9:15

15 For this reason Christ is the mediator of a new covenant, that those who are called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—now that he has died as a ransom to set them free from the sins committed under the first covenant.

One in the Son

Jesus prayed for us, "that they may all be one; even as you, Father, (are) in me and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you sent me." We stand and ride as "One in the Son".

John 17:21

21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

The Cross

The Cross is at the center of it all. Jesus' blood shed on the cross established the new covenant. Our hope was formed and established at the cross.

1 Peter 2:24

24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

The Shield

In the armor of God, faith is represented by the shield

Ephesians 6:16

16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.

In our center patch we actually have a shield within a shield. This represents the fact that we desire to line our faith up with the faith of Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 11:6

6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

The Sword

We stand with sword both drawn and raised. We hold it high, giving glory and honor to Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh. And we keep the sword (the Word) at the ready to combat the evil one. There is only one Word of God...so, we wear one sword, pointed to heaven.

Ephesians 6:17

17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Each patch is outlined in red

The red around each patch represents the blood of Jesus. It covers us, cleanses us and protects us. It is the blood of the covenant which surrounds every aspect of our lives.

Black cross and background

The black on the cross and background of each patch serves to remind us that we came out of darkness. We were sinners and have been brought out of the darkness by the grace and love of God, and the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. In remembering we have received much grace, we actively seek to demonstrate much grace.

Gold as the main color

Our shield and lettering are gold because it is a precious metal. Just as our relationship with Jesus is the most precious treasure a person can find. We are children of the Most High God and God wants His children to have the best. We are called a nation of kings & priests. God adorns His kings and priests in gold. Gold represents prosperity and our God desires to make us prosper. Gold is one of the very best conductors. We desire to be used by God to carry the power of His Word into the world.
