Old Testament Class for Adults

Pastor Stefan Wismar, Mayer Lutheran faculty member and director of Christian faith development, will be teaching an Old Testament class for adults beginning April 19. The class will meet for six Wednesdays from 7 to 8:30 PM.

To register, visit http://mayerlutheran.link/oldtec0ea

Course Description

This course on the theology of the Old Testament will center around the theme of God’s covenant relationship with Israel defined by God throughout the Old Testament as, “I will be your God and you will be my people.” The course will explore this covenant theme through the lenses of salvation history in the Old Testament, leading to its fulfillment in the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth, as well as understanding the geography and theology of the land promised on oath to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
