Maybe your head knows that God is always good, but your heart’s not so sure. Or perhaps while reading Scripture, you’ve wondered if our Creator Redeemer went through a personality change—from strictly enforcing the rules in the Old Testament to loving the outcast in the New! In this 7-session Bible study, you’ll discover divine love in the often overlooked and misunderstood passages in Scripture. And you’ll be delighted to find that Jehovah of the Old Testament is the same redemptive and compassionate God we see through Jesus Christ in the New Testament. He has always been and will always be for us! Features:  Personal study to be completed between the 7 group sessions  Teaching videos, approximately 30–40 minutes each, via redemption code printed in the Bible study book  Leader helps for group discussion    Benefits:  Explore the historical-cultural context of biblical texts to grasp their deeper meaning. Discover God's redemptive heart throughout Scripture and how He longs to redeem you. Allow a renewed understanding of God’s perfect compassion and perfect holiness to drive you to deeper intimacy and trust in Him.  Video Sessions:Session 1: The Heart Behind the Herding (35:00)—Lisa opens the study by showing us how God's action of driving, or herding, Adam and Eve out of the garden after the fall was redemptive in nature. She emphasizes that even when God is herding us, He is expressing His love for us. Session 2: Inheriting Grace from Mr. Z’s Girls (41:15)—In Session 2, Lisa unpacks a difficult passage in Deuteronomy and digs into the story of Zelophehad's daughters to show God's deep love and mercy for His daughters.
