Lesson Overview

This course gives a brief survey of the Old Testament, examining the themes of “Kingdom, Covenants and Canon.” It shows that the Old Testament is not a random amalgam of episodes, genealogies and prophetic tidbits. Instead, it is unified around the central theme of the kingdom of God, which was administered through covenants and applied to life through the Old Testament as a “canon” (guideline) for our lives. It is based on the Third Millennium DVD series by Dr. Richard L. Pratt, Jr.

Lesson Objectives

When you complete this lesson, you should be able to:

  • Express their thoughts and attitudes regarding the theme of the kingdom of God in the Old Testament
  • Identify the beginnings and the development of the Kingdom of God as presented in Scripture
  • Trace the themes of place, people, and progress in each era of biblical history
  • Describe the complexity that attends the three stages of the Kingdom in the New Testament age
  • Show ways in which they have applied the teachings of the course to their own lives

Personal Reflection

As you proceed through this lesson have the following question in mind.
In God’s kingdom strategy, people are his chosen instruments by which he is preparing the earth to become his kingdom. What implications does this have for your interactions with others? What does it imply about the significance of service to God?
