We are back to another Bible Essentials series! The first Bible Essentials series provided a general overview of the story of the Bible. This Bible Essentials series specifically looks at sin, sacrifice, and salvation.

In Part 1 of this series, we will look at sin, the law, and the Old Testament sacrificial system for sin.

In Part 2 of this series, we will focus on Jesus as the final sacrifice for sin.

In Part 3 of this series, we will learn how we can be saved from God’s wrath against sin.

Note that several lessons are repeats of lessons from the first Bible Essentials series. I will link to these repeated lessons in the most closely associated new lesson from this series (Substack doesn’t have a way for me to re-send past posts). If you are a new subscriber since the first series was published, I encourage you to read these lessons to get the whole scope of the study. And of course, long-time subscribers are welcome to read them again!
