During the Sunday morning LIFEGroup hour in June, Dr. Les Hardin will lead a 3-week series exploring how key Psalms are quoted and fulfilled in the New Testament. Each session will highlight the original story within the Psalm and how that same story echoes through the life of Jesus and the early church. It’s a rich look at how Scripture interprets Scripture—offering both biblical insight and practical tools for reading the Bible well. Dr. Hardin, a professor at Kentucky Christian University and a longtime member of our church family, brings a deep passion for teaching and connecting the dots between Old and New Testament texts.
Study held in Stage 2.
