I had no idea what the Old Testament was about when I entered high school. Come to think of it I didn't really know much about it when I graduated. I knew that God got angry and had many people killed by a flood, had a guy swallowed by a fish, created ten commandments that seem impossible to follow, and allowed his chosen people to kill other nations only to turn around and have those nations start killing them. Special attention was paid to a building which housed an ark, a tabernacle (which I thought was a well known choir) and only one guy was allowed to stand in the presence of God. How come God's chosen people couldn't be in His presence? Shouldn't it be called God's chosen person? Anyway, apparently God's chosen people were separated from the mother land (or was it the promise land) and then hundreds of years later Jesus appears. Its all too confusing,
Pulse's new Sunday morning series is a survey of the Old Testament. Throughout the next few months students will study important events and key themes throughout the Old Testament Scriptures in order to better understand God, the significance of Jesus Christ, and to understand the Biblical story as a whole.
Can you explain the Biblical story to your son or daughter from Genesis to Revelation? How about simply Genesis - Exodus?
