BC—Part 2

BC—Part 2

The birth of Christ was a turning point. All of history can be divided by events that took place before and after Christ. This series will explore the birth of Christ through the lens of the original Old Testament. Long before Christ was born, the Christmas story was presented by prophets sent by God. This holiday season, we’ll focus on those stories and learn how we can apply them to the present.
