While walking the roads of the Holy Land, Jesus often taught His followers lessons that would come down to us through God’s Word. But from our perspective—in our very different time and place—many of the Lord’s allusions to the surrounding landscape have been lost. In this seven-lesson course, Dr. John (Jack) Beck highlights how the land provided talking points both to the original disciples and to us today. The video series is provided by Our Daily Bread Ministries.
