To accompany this fall’s sermon series, “The Promises of God,” Pastor Brent Kompelien and Discipleship Director Paul Arneberg discuss the importance of reading the Old Testament. Christianity neither works nor makes sense apart from understanding and even loving the whole counsel of God as laid out in the OT and fulfilled through Christ in the NT. We should neither “unhitch” from the OT nor elevate it above the NT. Rather, let’s approach the Bible as one redemptive story with God’s precious promises made, fulfilled, and yet to be fulfilled for those who are in Christ Jesus.
