Fall Lecture Series 2018
The Five Books of Moses: A journey through the Pentateuch
Introduction
In this lecture series, Michael Morales will draw out the major themes of the Pentateuch, giving us a foundation for understanding the whole Bible story and its culmination in Jesus Christ. Beginning with Genesis, we will trace the story of redemption and see how God created Israel for the sake of publishing the glory of His Name among the nations – so that the nations would be blessed. We will learn more deeply how the life and ministry of Moses foreshadows that of Jesus, how the Passover lamb of Exodus points us to the crucifixion of God’s Son, how Israel’s camp in the wilderness serves as a model for God’s people in every era – and more. Join us as we take a journey through the Pentateuch.
