Grace and Truth

May 21, 2023

Pastor Patrick presented "Grace/Truth" for this House Parties week. A video of the message is here.

[Conversation Starters will begin again with the start of the next official life groups session this summer.]

It's been quite a week. As luck would have it, I found some great articles on the web that answer for me our standard question of "What does the Torah say about that?". In this case, including other Old Testament references. So, here are three articles about Grace and Truth in the Old Testament that I hope you enjoy:

Grace in the Old Testament from Zondervan Academic

Truth Decay Old Testament from Baptist News Global

God's Truth in the Old Testament by ScriptureWay


Bonus


"Do not hate an Egyptian" (Deut. 23:7)

A Biblical Law That Would Change American Life by Dennis Prager.

6/15/23 Update: PragerU just came out with a Fireside Chat on the importance of this verse. Watch it here.
