“All scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness”  2 Timothy 3:16

There is a frequent perception among Christians that the Old Testament is less relevant than the New Testament.  For example, people say, “God was harsher back then than He was in the time of Jesus.”  People often find the practices in the Old Testament confusing.  Because of these concerns over the Old Testament, many Christians will often leave the Old Testament alone except for the few well-known stories.  God, however, would desire that we would be able to understand His word in the Old Testament just as much as we understand His word in the New Testament.  As Paul said to Timothy, the whole bible comes from God and all of it is useful in so many ways.

•    Have the ability to read and study passages of the Old Testament and be able to apply them to your life.
•    Have a greater understanding of the overall historical events of the Old Testament and therefore know the context of the various passages.
