Why study the old testament? It was Jesus’ Bible and he quoted from it extensively. Examples Matthew 22:37 - He said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ Quotes Deuteronomy 6:5 The goal of the summer seminars series is to introduce/review background information about the Bible. What the Bible is, the outline of the Old Testament, and the outline of the New Testament. We’ll do all that in June 10, 17, and 24.   Then we’ll move into a little background of the Presbyterian Church. We’ll spend a couple of Sundays in July looking at how the Old and New Testament gave rise to the Presbyterian Church. On July 1 we’ll look at where the Presbyterian Church came from and where it is today. On July 8 we’ll explore the basic structure and essentials of the Presbyterian Church. The last half of July and in August we’re going to spend some time looking at what we call the “Great Ends of the Church.” There are six fundamental reasons why we Presbyterians believe that our church exists. We going to take one per Sunday and hear about each one, have some time to think and discuss them, and see how each one is relevant to what God is calling KirdWood to be and become.
