Does your church know the message of the Old Testament? 

Many Christians do not understand what God is teaching his people through the Old Testament. What about your church?

Your church may be missing . . .

❌ An awareness of the beauty and wisdom of God’s work in Creation
❌ An understanding of the law of God
❌ An appreciation for the wonder of biblical psalms and proverbs
❌ A grasp for the message of the prophets
❌ A comprehension of the history of God’s people
❌ A vision for how the Old Testament heroes point to our need for a Savior

Your church needs to know all of God’s Word.

The New Testament is powerful and glorious. Still, the people of God need to know the entire Word of God.

Your members need someone to teach them the deep and relevant truths of the Old Testament in a way that will help fully form them as God’s people.

Recommended Book for You and Your Members

One copy is included free with the course

The Hebrew Scriptures are the beginning of—and foundation for—God’s incredible story of redemption. Studying the Old Testament, and its relationship to God’s new covenant, inspires wonder and awe at God’s grand plan of salvation that spans millennia. Tragically, too many preachers and Bible teachers don’t have the time or inclination to dive into the depths of the Old Testament. T. J. Betts, a respected professor of Old Testament interpretation at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, provides a convenient solution in this book.
