Old Testament Survey

Last night we spent a little over an hour hitting the highlights of the Old Testament, in chronological order.  Hopefully this will help you get your hands around the historical nature of the events and the story of the Jewish people (the Israelites, the people of God).

When I read the Old Testament, I'm always struck at how sinful people are and how loving God is.  People have always been sinful & made bad decisions, but God still used some of these people & redeemed them in the process.  When people repent, God's mercy shines.

Below is a list of the events we discussed.  Click the link at the bottom to see the full list.

Also, we talked a little about the Caanities & their moral corruption.  You can read more about that here:
