Exodus, an introduction and the history & archeology behind it

2019-02-24 by Yvon Prehn

The story of the Exodus is one of the most well-known of all the Bible stories, partly because of the movie and partly because it is the historical history of the beginning of the Jewish nation.

But that doesn’t mean it’s without controversy—not only about the dates it occurred but if it really happened at all and if it did, how does it apply to us today?

Today we’ll look at an introduction to the book of Exodus and the archeology and history behind the true story of God’s deliverance of his people.

The Egyptians left us massive amounts of information about their rulers–tombs, drawings, thousands of statues, and mummies. By careful analysis of the dates of the Exodus (as given in the Bible) and by comparing them with the dates of specific pharaohs in Egyptian history we can look at the faces of the Pharaoh of Joseph’s time, the Egyptian princess who adopted Moses, (and learn some fascinating stories about her), and finally the Pharaoh Moses faced at the time of the Exodus.

This is a fascinating lesson that will increase your confidence that the God of the Bible is also the God in charge of human history. You can listen to the podcast below or on iTunes or any of your favorite podcast sources. Below the podcast is a link to a PDF of the notes for the class.

What do the Old Testament Laws & Odd Regulations have to do with us today?

2019-02-17 by Yvon Prehn

Genesis and the first part of Exodus were interesting to read, but now it’s getting a bit strange…..

What do all these laws about what to eat, sacrifices, and how to build the Tabernacle have to do with us today?

Why should we bother reading them?

The answer is SO much more interesting and helpful than you can imagine! Not in that we should follow the laws and regulations in the same way the Children of Israel did, but in what these things foreshadowed in what was coming.

The study of this foreshadowing of what was coming is called “Typology.” The podcast not only discusses this topic but gives you reasons and encouragements why you should read these books that most people skip. From the middle of Exodus through Leviticus and Numbers, it can be hard to read and even harder to understand, but God put this material in our Bibles for a reason and this podcast will help you understand how much it will help you grow in your faith even if it doesn’t seem like it when you start.

Below the podcast are the notes from the podcast and a link I promised I’d give that has an excellent article on typology.

From a person to a people– Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph AND is God or are people in charge of history?

2019-02-10 by Yvon Prehn

How did the Jewish people become a nation?

Did Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Joseph have any say in being the founding fathers or were they predestined to do all they did?

And what about us? What is God in control of and what are we responsible for?

Today we are going to answer these questions and more in our Podcast.

As we look at the lives of these founders of our faith, we can see God faithful to fulfill his plan and promises even though the people given the task to carry it out sometimes strayed from doing the right thing. Though we admire what they did, God is the hero of the story and our stories because He is the one who is faithful and who will carry us through the storms of life.

In addition to the overall themes above, this podcast has some extra material on the history of Midian, Edom, and why the Beatitudes are written in the way they are. If that didn’t make lots of sense–listen to the podcast and learn some fascinating facts we sometimes miss in Old Testament stories.

Did Angels or extraterrestrials really have children with humans and other Q & A about Genesis

2019-02-03 by Yvon Prehn

“Did angels (or as some have said, extra-terrestrials) have children with humans?”

“How do you explain fossils of humans 30,000 to 40,000 years old?”

“If the Bible says you can’t see God, how could people see him in Genesis?”

“What about the curses in Genesis?, e.g. Cain and Lamech, Canaan and Ham?”

“Is Jesus the only way to heaven and what does reading the Bible in Chronological order have to do with it?”

These are some of the questions I’ll answer in this Podcast on Questions & Answers about the book of Genesis.

For this podcast, there is a lot more I covered in the live class, and to give you the information on that, CLICK on the following link for the notes from it that will give you the content of those topics: NOTES on Did Angels or extraterrestrials really have children with humans and other Q & A about Genesis

Abraham, the Father of our Faith

2019-01-20 by Yvon Prehn

Why do Christians call Abraham the “Father of their Faith?”

Isn’t he also the Father of the faith for Jews and Muslims? And didn’t he write an important book for the Mormons?

Do I have to be a person of great faith like Abraham for God to accept me?

These questions and much more are what we will cover in this podcast on Abraham.

I’ll start with an overview of the incredible archeological finds that have literally uncovered streets in the city of Ur and buildings that were there when Abraham lived there. We will do an overview of Abraham’s life and then compare the Biblical view of Abraham with the Abraham of the Muslim and Mormon faiths.

Finally, you’ll see why it isn’t the moral character and the perfection of Abraham that made him acceptable to God, but the character of his God, who always has and always will provide salvation to those who trust him, not by works, but by faith.
