This is the companion page for the Deuteronomy Sunday (and Monday) School class at Cornerstone Presbyterian Church, Spring 2025.
Download the Class Handout: This handout has extra material for you to continue your exploration of Deuteronomy. It is not required; it is intended for those who want to go deeper.
Below are the videos that will deepen your class experience. They are not required, but we think they will be enormously helpful. We recommend watching each week’s videos prior to Sunday’s (or Monday’s) class.
“Monday School“! For those who cannot join on Sunday, we have a Monday evening option. At 7p we will meet on Zoom to cover that week’s class. This is perfect for those who would like to join our class but are unable to. Use this link each Monday at 7p from March 16, 2025 – May 12, 2025 to access the class (There will be no Monday School on April 21 or April 28).

Special Interview with Dr. Peter Lee
This is a special interview with Dr. Peter Lee. During class we asked for questions you have about covenant and Deuteronomy or for anything that was unclear. For one question, we thought it was intricate enough to ask Peter to discuss it with us. This video is a bit long, but well worth the time. Also, you may want to have your Bible ready while you watch it.
