Scripture: One Book at a Time
The whole of Sacred Scripture is a single narrative that promises and points to Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of the World. It is an epic story, the greatest ever told, and told "one book at a time." Each book makes it contribution to the narrative as God reveals God's self to us and his desire that all be saved.
Lesson 2: An Old Testament Overview
In keeping with our design intent to (a) provide summary overview and continue to emphasize (b) the unified narrative in the Hebrew Scriptures that tell a story, ever pointing to a promised Messiah – this weeks presentation is a 12-minute summary of the entire Old Testament.
This first video gives an overarching accounting of human failure starting with Adam and Even, but continuing in every generation. Even the great heroes such as Abraham, Sarah, Jacob, Isaac, Moses, King David and more – all fail to live up to what it means to fully human: to love God and to love man. Such is the effect of sin in the world.
What are the different ways in which “sin” is understood and discussed in Sacred Scripture? That is presented in the second video: “Sin Involves More Than You Might Think.”
