Prophets, Priests, and Kings: Reformed Theology from the Old Testament
Ever wonder where the Apostle Paul learned his theology? Or, what in the world is Leviticus about anyway? And how could that book possibly speak to my life? If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions, then beginning May 18 join Tom Wesenberg and Tim Varner as they teach through a Sunday School course designed to explore questions such as these. Each week Tom and Tim will lead discussion on a Bible passage from the Old Testament which shows that the theology of the New Testament is nothing new. Please make plans to join them.
