In this episode we explore four central themes to the Hebrew Bible: God's sovereignty, the Temple, the Priests & the Sacrifices, Faith as the Key to Righteousness, and the Coming Seed (Messiah). We discuss how God exercises His sovereignty throughout history, the importance of the Temple, Sacrifices, and Priests in Israel's religious life, and the crucial role of faith in receiving righteousness. Lastly, we anticipate the coming Messiah, revealed as a descendant of Eve, Abraham, and David, destined to defeat evil, bless all nations, and rule an everlasting kingdom.
Readings: Nehemiah 9:6-38, Psalm 106, Psalm 132:1-18 (Song about God’s promise to David and his choice of Jerusalem), Ephesians 2:1-10
