Hi, I'm Hope Weinberg and today my grandpa will be doing the giving 15th.

Thank you, Hope. That was a great job.

What a great introduction that was and tomorrow you may be meeting another special person doing the introduction.

Are you hearing from Holy Spirit anything I need to know?

I recently asked my friend, Chuck Pierce.

Old Testament places that pictures New Testament truths.

Incredibly important truths, as we shall see, and very relevant for us today.

We find Gilgall in the book of Joshua, which has several of these types.

Holy Spirit's phrase to Chuck could not possibly be understood without examining a few of them.
