Did you ever wonder why God started at the beginning? Does the Old Testament matter? Not only does it matter… it paves the way for the gospel. Can a person understand their need for Jesus without first understanding WHO God is and What sin is and HOW man’s sin affects him? We are learning a lot about how God reveals himself to us and our need for Him through stories (the historical record of Israel). We’ve also been learning about basic medical, teamwork, and many other very useful courses for bringing the gospel where it has never been.
May we recommend a book?
“By This Name” by John R Cross
