You can borrow a video study guide book, or if you'd like to keep it, you can purchase it.
Last spring we talked about a study to connect or bridge the Old Testament to the New Testament. I looked for something to fit our needs and nothing seemed to be "it." Rev. McClendon to the rescue!! Tim knew just what we needed. He said the author, Sandra Richter, is an expert on the Old Testament and a great writer. He was correct, this book is awesome.
The author has a way of teaching the Old Testament that brings it to life. This study of the Old Testament leads us to a profound understanding of the New Testament and all that Scripture means for your life.
The author teaches quite a bit about the time, place cultures found in the Old Testament and how even though it seems so far away from our culture and time there is great meaning in the OT for us today. It's packed with maps and diagrams that really help readers understand what the author is trying to convey. I've been reading the book as well as the video study guide this summer and I've enjoyed Richter's teaching and learned so much!
The videos are watched after the weekly reading. Under the Schedule tab in this blog's menu bar, you'll find a schedule for this study. You may find it helpful to keep a notebook for jotting questions, answers or other notes as you read, view the videos, or share in the group discussion sessions. Depending on your current time commitments, and the depth to which you want to dive into this study, you can use some parts of the study guide or all of them. It is totally customizable to suit your needs.
God Bless,
I'm Looking forward to seeing everyone!
