"The Design of God's Kingdom"

 

“The Design of God's Kingdom”
(Genesis - Deuteronomy)

Adult Sunday School, Winter 2011


This class articulates the creation of God’s world, Adam’s (and humanity’s) fall into sin and death, and the subsequent ways God began his plan of redemption, beginning with the creation of Israel and his covenant with them.  We will be oriented to God’s original intention for the world and begin to set the stage for Jesus Christ, the “Second Adam” and “New-and-True Israel,” as we continue to discover our place in God’s unfolding story of redemption.
