Our Lenten lesson, Redeemer Promised, Redeemer Fulfilled, is written by First Church member Gregory Berkhouse. This daily study begins on Ash Wednesday and follows the arc of Christ’s redemption—from Old Testament prophecy to its fulfillment in Jesus Christ, as recorded in the Gospels. Daily Scripture readings guide participants through the Lenten season, culminating on Easter Sunday.
Written to draw readers deeper into Scripture, the text reveals the rich and fascinating story of redemption woven throughout both the Old and New Testaments, inviting us to see Christ at the center of it all.
