Names matter! If you’re a parent, you probably understand well how significant a name can be. Scripture highlights many godly people whose names had special meanings. But the one that matters most, of course, is God’s name. Yahweh, the Hebrew name for God, is not only a unique title; it’s also a very revealing reference to some of God’s most …
This program is a rebroadcast from January 14, 2017. Last week Chris taught us how God relates to us through covenants, a promise initiated by God to a particular person or group of people. We learned how God entered into the Old Covenant relationship with the people of Israel. Some features of the Old Covenant were faith, purpose, and desire. …
This program is a rebroadcast from January 7, 2017. Today we will look at how our great God relates with His people, both past and present. The God of this universe, Maker of the heavens and earth, wants a relationship with us. First we look at the Trinity, the Father, the Holy Spirit, and Son; God is three distinct persons …
We all see Jesus differently! Over the past two weeks we’ve explored how the Romans dismissed His ministry and the Jewish religious leaders of His day considered it a threat. But the common Jewish people were much more interested in our Savior. We hear about “The People of the Land,” the average Israelites of Jesus’ day, in this program as …
Even though He came to offer salvation from sin, not everyone loved Jesus. We saw that fact last week through the eyes of the Romans, who were more concerned with their empire than with the Lord of the universe. This week we look at Jesus through the eyes of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Their objection to the Savior was foolish, …
Everyone views Jesus differently. Some think He was a prophet, others think He was a teacher, and still others think He was a common man. Of course, Christians worship Him as our loving Savior, the One we live to please and around whom we build our lives. For the next three weeks we’ll study what some important people groups thought …
The Rapture is overlooked or purposely avoided by many today. This might leave you asking, “Is the Rapture really that important? Does the Bible even tell us anything definite about it?” You bet! The Rapture is a huge part of biblical prophecy and one of our greatest hopes as believers, and God’s Word tells us all we need to know …
Money can buy almost anything, but it can’t buy the satisfaction our souls crave. King Solomon learned this lesson and shared his wisdom in Ecclesiastes. Solomon teaches about injustice, oppression, wealth, and the key to a meaningful life—crucial subjects with answers our world is desperately searching for today. Chris digs into Peter Colón’s Israel My Glory magazine article “No Satisfaction” …
Israel has sure been busy lately. This week we’re covering the most encouraging development in the region: Israel’s recent peace deals with the United Arab Emirates and with Bahrain, which we’re discussing with Steve Herzig, our director of North American Ministries here at The Friends of Israel. As positive as the agreements are, they may be just the beginning of …
I really messed up. God’s not going to forgive me this time. Can you relate to this feeling? Paul addressed this sentiment in Romans 11, the chapter we’re studying in the conclusion of our 3-part series on why Israel still matters to God. Some were questioning if Israel’s sins had caused God to reject them altogether. The comforting answer: Absolutely …
