The kings and The King
Israel's biblical history is more than military conquest in chronological sequence. It is messianic prophecy in narrative form.

Prepare to enjoy the adventure of the Old Testament in our 2017–2018 series, "The kings and the King," and appreciate anew the anticipation of Christ woven throughout each of these historical books.
