Introduction to the Prophets, a new 4 week online study, begins October 26th.  The study will follow the history of the people of Israel from the time Joshua crossed the Jordan River into Canaan, through the return from Exile in Babylon.

This overview study incorporates the books that the Hebrew bible identifies as the Former Prophets (Joshua, Judges, I & II Samuel, and I & II Kings) and the Latter Prophets (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and the twelve Minor Prophets). 

Videos will be posted to the website each Monday, and there will be a ZOOM discussion the following Sunday at 5:00pm. The first video session will be available here on Monday, October 26, followed by the Zoom discussion session at 5:00 pm on Sunday, November 1.
