Just For a Closer Walk

In Genesis 3 we see the advent of the Great Balal - the great confusion that has plagued and continues to plague the human race - the confusion of Lordship.  We can't properly relate to ourselves or others until we acknowledge the exclusive Lordship of God in our lives.  When we deviate from the author of life, and life abundant, the result is our pursuit of death and mundanity.  It is for freedom that Christ set us free!  Join us as we continue our recap of the Old Testament in preparation for the New Testament study.

When we read the New Testament, we're picking up in the middle of the story, which can be confusing unless we know what leads up to it.  Starting with a brief overview of eternity, the beginning of time and the creation narrative, join us as we inaugurate our Old Testament recap in preparation for the Chronological New Testament Study.
