Description: Discover the Life-Changing Relevance of the Old Testament
This dynamic program takes your church on an eye-opening, heart-searching journey through Scripture on three interlocking levels:
Whole congregation—The major themes of the Old Testament snap into focus during 32 weeks of creative and powerful messages that take your entire congregation through the Old Testament. Small groups—Truths taught in corporate worship get reinforced through discussion and relationship. Small groups dig deeper into God’s Word and apply it to their daily lives. Individual—The Scriptures get up-close-and-personal as each participant takes a life-transforming journey through the first two-thirds of the Bible using the Taking the Old Testament Challenge individual reading guide.
This threefold approach will drive the truths of Scripture deep into the heart and life of each participant, with applications designed to turn lessons into lifestyles and principles into practice.
Stepping Out in Faith: Life-Changing Examples from the History of Israel
The wisest of people learn from the successes and struggles of others. Since history repeats itself, looking back on the journey of God’s people and learning from their victories and pitfalls is one of the most valuable things we can ever do. As we look closely at the highs and lows of Israel’s history, we will discover lessons that can transform and shape both our present and our future.
These seven interweaving messages, small group studies, and personal study assignments search the history of Israel and reveal God’s presence with his people as they follow him on an amazing journey of faith. Volume two of Old Testament Challenge educates through action, not just words. It’s an exciting new approach for helping the people in your church move closer to God and to each other.
