Have you ever had a thread become loose on your clothes, so you begin to pull on it only to find that it's a little more connected than you thought, and now you've completely unraveled your favorite shirt or jacket?

In the Bible, certain themes are like threads. A significant theological thread might protrude slightly, and often, it goes unnoticed, but if you stop and begin to pull on it, you will discover it is interwoven throughout the storyline of Scripture and unravels in a way you don't always expect. There are five biblical-theological themes we are going to pursue in this upcoming Riverview Academy course called "Threads." Major motifs such as Eden, Exodus, the Temple, Kingdom, and Covenant. These five threads interweave throughout the fabric of Scripture and together craft a glorious mosaic of redemption ultimately found in Jesus Christ.

If you've never been exposed to biblical theology before, you are in for a treat! Biblical theology is not simply theology that is biblical, but it aims to uncover transcending themes throughout the big story of the Bible. I hope you will join me for this 5-week course, starting January 12 at 6 pm!”
