Not just a New Testament guy...

It may surprise some to know that Jesus can be found not just in the New Testament of the Christian Bible, but in the Old Testament as well. During this series we will take a look at the many ways Christ shows up in the Old Testament. Jesus is the climax of the story of Scripture. He is the better Adam, Abraham, Jonah, and Hosea.

Through this series, we'll discover that the whole story of Christianity is about Jesus, that (unlike Adam) Jesus resisted temptation and can give us strength to do the same, that Hosea shows us Jesus’s love for the sinful, that Isaac prefigures the sacrifice Jesus would later make for us on the cross, and that (unlike Jonah) Jesus lovingly seeks to draw enemies to him.
