Tassels and Other Controversies - Part 1

There are many Old Testament practices that are not kept by Christians. At times some spotlight one of these telling others that they can not be a true Christian unless they keep that practice. Can Christians pick and choose which Old Testament practices to keep? In this sermon which is the first of a two part series Mr. Smith shows us how the New Testament tells us which Old Testament practices apply to Christians.
