Beholding Your King

A self-centered culture leaves the soul restless. The antidote is a fuller view of God and His glory. In this study, we journey through King David, the Psalms, the temple, and the Old Testament prophets — discovering how each points to the coming King of Kings, Jesus Christ.

Note: This is Part 2 of a two-part series; completing Beholding His Glory first is recommended.
