During this period of our Old Testament Survey we study the Israelite conquest of their promised land and the next 400 years where the land was ruled and led by judges who were raised up by God in Israel's need. This is a troubling time in the Biblical narrative, but one that shows how clearly man needs God and His leadership.

PowerPoint notes for the Introduction to the Old Testament Survey midweek series.

A look into one of our core doctrines as examined against scripture, tradition, reason, and experience.

While their is no universal answer to this question it would be a mistake to therefore stop pursuing it. This question is difficult because it is emotional and controversial, yet it is something about which every Christian needs to have some personal conviction.

A look at some popular conceptions that are theologically false. We will also trace some of their origins.

  Chris Zillman examines the doorways and avenues God presents before each person in life. We all make decisions to either walk though them or walk past them. We may never know the consequences of such decisions. Therefore, we must decide carefully what doorway or avenue God is presenting before us today. 

In this installment of our Old Testament survey we will examine the Primeval and Patriarchal Periods of the Old Testament. From Adam to Judah, the redemption plan begins to unfold. The beginning of the OT story reveals God to be merciful from the very beginning as he carves out a people for Himself from the universe He created.

There is power in questions, and in asking the right questions. In this sermon, Chris Zillman asks that we take time to think about a question; “What moves you?” Jesus came to change the heart of people in their every endeavor toward God, and this began with examining what moves a person to follow God. We examine this question against the backdrop of Jesus clearing the temple and Lazarus raising from the dead.

This fourth installment of the Old Testament Survey examines the Israelites as they wonder the desert before they enter the Promise Land. This entails the giving of the law, the Tabernacle, and a nation being lead by the Spirit of God.

Chris Zillman speaks in this examination of what we pass on to our children in the form of legacy. As a church and community everything we do teaches and instructs both our children and young christians. What is it then they are learning from us? What is it they are going to inherit?

During the sixth period of our Old Testament Period we take time to study the United Kingdom which includes the reigns of Saul, David, and Solomon. We also examine such characters as Samuel and Jonathan.

During the seventh period of the Old Testament history we look at the conflict the forever divided Israel into the Northern and Southern Kingdom, what happened as a result, and what it meant for Israel's future.

An examination of Period #3 in the Old Testament history- Egypt and the Exodus.

In this sermon by Chris Zillman the notion of dealing with our mistakes in a way that is honorable and right is discussed. David was a man after god’s own heart, yet David had several fatal flaws for which he and his family suffered. Part of his life is spent owning up to his mistakes and making it right. We have much to learn from Israel’s most famous king.

In this installment of our Old Testament Survey we see the end of an independent Jewish Kingdom. God carries out his final punishment against Judah and allows the Babylonian Empire to conquer and exile the remaining Jewish population.
