Happy Thanksgiving, friends! Thanksgiving is a favorite holiday for many of us in America. And though it’s associated with its American roots, it has a surprising amount of parallels to Israel and the Jewish people. This week Chris shares a lengthy list of connections between the Jewish people and Thanksgiving that you’ve probably never considered. Whether through the way the …
This program is a rebroadcast from October 24, 2020. 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 …
This program is a rebroadcast from November 16, 2019. Can Christians lose their salvation? The Bible says when we become believers in Jesus the Messiah we become a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). God’s free gift of salvation cannot be taken away. It is not a conditional gift. God’s Word also says that our flesh is at war with this …
Many of us have developed a view of the early church without acknowledging the culture of its time, which largely influenced the church. Greek and Roman culture played a role in shaping the early church, so we should know what those cultures were all about! After studying the Orthodox foundations of our faith last week, we continue learning about the …

Dr. Michael Svigel is part of the solution. He’s written RetroChristianity: Reclaiming the Forgotten Faith and is a voice of wisdom on the topic of doctrinal development in the early church. Dr. …
Do you ever feel like you’re getting the short end of the stick? That things just aren’t fair because you don’t have the same opportunities as someone else? Many of us have felt that way, but God made sure that we never have to feel that way about salvation. As we study Ephesians today, we’ll see how God leveled the …
Our 2-week study of Ephesians begins this week, and that means we’re learning about Greek culture and checking out the city of Ephesus from the book of Acts! Remember when a mob rioted to try to drive Paul out of its city for disturbing its pagan businesses? That city was Ephesus, a thriving, powerful, commercial hub in the Roman Empire. …
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 …

Even though we’re far from January 1, this weekend marks a New Year celebration—Rosh Hashanah, the fall feast that celebrates the Jewish New Year. God established this holiday as the Feast of Trumpets for the Israelites in Leviticus. It’s a happy celebration but also one of remembrance. Nothing symbolizes this better than the shofar, which is blown on Rosh Hashanah …
