How many books are in the Bible? How many in the Old Testament, specifically? And how many of those books have we actually read? Frankly, many believers today don’t bother reading through the Old Testament, as though only the New was valid. But without the Old, we cannot fully comprehend the message behind the New. Louie Inks teaches students a basic outline of the Old Testament (the Tanakh, as it was originally referred to), and encourages them to discover the history of God’s love for His people, the same history that led up to the birth of our Messiah.
Session Objectives
- Provide a simple, memorable outline of the history of Israel
- Encourage memorization of the names and order of the books of the Old Testament
- Show how the history of Israel has led into the life of Jesus Christ
- Encourage evaluation of the New Testament in the context of the Old
