In Perspective: Old Testament God vs. New Testament God
Have you ever wondered why there seem to be opposing depictions of God in the Old Testament versus God in the New Testament? Our panelists will confront the apparent disparate images of God, which sometimes cause people to wonder if this is the same God. Come hungry for a deeper understanding of who God is. We hope you can join us to learn more about this challenging and engaging topic.
