Episode 159: Why Does the Old Testament Still Matter?

Now that Jesus has died on the cross for our sins, why should we care about the laws in the Old Testament? In this episode, Cara asks Dot a few of her burning questions about the Old Testament, the meaning of a sacrifice, and more. They explain how Jesus built upon the message of the Old Testament and take time to reflect on just how much He did for us. Grab your Bible and journal and join us!
