A preview of a series of lessons coming in 2022 as we walk through the Old Testament book of Numbers. Even though Old Testament books like Numbers can seem daunting and difficult to read through, there are many New Testament passages that teach us the need to read Numbers to find relevance and needed application for our faith today.

Part of a year-long series going through Ephesians chapters 5 and 6.
Confessing sin is uncomfortable, and it is so easy to neglect or resist doing it when it is most needed. And, in 1 John, we are told that confessing our sins is always a necessary part of a working relationship with God. But what does genuine confession look like? In this lesson, we study a contrast between how Saul confessed sin in 1 Samuel without a changed heart and how David confessed sin in Psalms with a broken and contrite heart.
Do you ever feel lost or overwhelmed when you’re trying to navigate through your Bible or read books of the Old Testament? In this lesson, we overview 10 major events that encompass the entire timeline from Creation to the book of Acts and 10 major figures associated with those events.
