Fulfilling the Law: God’s Purpose in Jesus Explained [The Hard Teachings of Jesus Series #6]

In Matthew, Jesus says He did not come to abolish the Old Testament Law, but to fulfill them.

Some popular pastors like Andy Stanley think Christians should distance themselves from the Old Testament, as if its commandments are no longer applicable for Christians. 

Scott and Shawn discuss the place of the Old Testament and Moses’ Law in understanding the full truth of Jesus. Should we continue to keep the 613 laws set out in Leviticus?

The truth is that Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount goes far beyond Old Testament laws. Join Scott and Shawn as they work through the Scriptures and the place of the Old Testament law in our lives.
