The Upper Room Class continues.  The Upper Room Class is viewing a new series of video lectures on archeological discoveries in the area of Israel and Palestine. We’ll be comparing biblical stories with what the archeological and historic records tell us about the same events. The periods of both the Old and New Testaments will be covered.
