0:00.0	Welcome to Enjoying the Journey with Evangelist Scott Pauli.
0:13.0	Today we are on a journey through Scripture.
0:16.0	We hope you'll join us as we make 66 stops through each book of the Word of God.
0:37.4	The most important journeys should always be planned. Before you set out on some long
0:42.9	adventure, it's a good idea to chart your course. And that's exactly what we're going to do today
0:47.8	as we begin our journey through the scriptures. And we want to begin where God begins. Genesis
0:52.4	1, verse 1, says, in the beginning, God.
0:56.1	And so we believe that the Bible is a progressive revelation. As such, we study it that way. We begin
1:02.0	with the book of Genesis and then we walk our way through the Old Testament and then right
1:06.3	into the New Testament. But in order to do that, I think we need a good overview of what we're
1:11.2	approaching when we come to the Old Testament scriptures. You see, everywhere I go, there are people
1:16.3	that give much attention to the New Testament and think very little now of the Old Testament.
1:21.9	I remember years ago walking across a university campus and saying to a young man that I was

1:34.1	His response to me was, well, I believe the Old Testament. I soon found out he was a Jew. He didn't
1:39.8	accept the New Testament. The sad reality is there are a lot of New Testament believers today who have in many ways, at least practically, rejected the Old Testament. But the sad reality is there are a lot of New Testament believers today who
1:45.3	have in many ways, at least practically, rejected the Old Testament. That should never be. You see,
1:50.8	the Old Testament and the New Testament are not competitors, they're completers. They work together.
1:57.6	If you can imagine the Old Testament as a broad base upon which the New Testament builds.
2:03.3	And as you journey through the Old Testament, we're going somewhere. We're leading to something.
2:09.0	It's bringing us nearer to Christ. When the farmer looks at the Word of God, the Old Testament is the seed form.
