The Know Your Bible Podcast with Jeff Olson

#22 Four Reasons You Should Know the Old Testament Better


Listen Later

I’ve been teaching a course called The Story of the Old Testament for years because most believers are relatively clueless about the Old Testament. They know the Bible stories, they read the Psalms and aren’t really sure what to do with the prophecies.

What they usually don’t know is how the stories, psalms and prophecies fit together into one larger story and how that story connects with Jesus and the New Testament.

Whether you’re a new reader of the Old Testament or you’ve been at it a while, it’s not hard to admit that we could all know the Old Testament better.

In this episode of the Core Life Training podcast, I’m gonna give you four reasons you SHOULD know the Old Testament better!

I hope it stokes you up to read the Old Testament, and maybe even read a book (that comes out at Halloween) that explains how the Old Testament tells the story of Jesus and the Gospel.

p.s. If you haven’t already, you can download a free sample section where I explain how the author of Genesis has built the story of chapters 1-9 and what they’re all about. Get it at:
