Start of Season 2: More to the Old Testament

Jews had the OT / What’s the purpose of the OT?

Longest season, but no movement in Romans.

Romans is built on the OT.

Episode 1:

Adam to Abraham (highlight Noah and Sarah in season 4).

Fall + Promise = Seed (Jesus).

Sin + Flood + Promise = Ark (Jesus).

Grace (choosing Abraham) + Promise = Seed (Jesus).

What’s the purpose? God promised to save the world. OT is the story of God’s faithfulness to that promise.

Gospel Principle:

God’s promise applies to us in Jesus.

If you’re here, it’s proof of that promise. You could be a million other places, but you’re not. It’s because God wants to fulfill the promise.
