Bible Podcast and Commentary from Yvon Prehn

from Yvon Prehn, bible podcast and commentary

Through The Bible in Chronological Order In 2019 we are going to go through the Bible Chronologically, which means we will be reading or listening to the content of the Bible in the order that the events took place, which is not the order they are in the Christian Bible. This way of taking in the content will help you understand the Bible in real history and the poetry, prophets, letters will make sense in a way they haven't before if you haven't gone through the Bible in this way.

Each Sunday, at 10:30 I'll be teaching a class at Orchard Community Church in Ventura, CA and after the class by sometime Sunday afternoon I'll have posted a podcast on the topic of the class (in most instances pre-recorded and containing more content than the class) and notes from the class on this website.

Join us in this great adventure—you'll never be the same!

Solomon—the uses and abuses of wisdom, power, and love

by

What if you had EVERYTHING? Money, power, romance?

What would you do with it?

In this podcast, we’ll talk about Solomon, a man who had everything, who enjoyed and used it all but ended up a bitter, sad, old man, who destroyed the unity of his nation because he would not obey God.

Saul, the first king of Israel, lessons and challenges from his life

by

Saul, first King of Israel, lessons and challenge from his lifeHow does it happen for a person to start out with every advantage—good looks, honor and a calling from God, a great family, but then die a self-pitying suicide? Saul, the first king of Israel, sadly answers that question in our lesson as we start the great adventure of studying the kings of Israel.

This week is a challenge and warning, but after this lesson on what not to do by looking at the life of Saul we will then study the life of David and Psalms and learn what it means to be a person after God’s heart. Below the podcast you can read the notes or print off a PDF.

Samuel & Saul: the last Judge and the first King of Israel

by

What do the Lord of the Rings, the movie “Aquaman,” and the book of 1 Samuel have in common?

The answer to the question I just asked, is that in all of them a prominent theme is that people want a King. But not just any King, they want a King who is strong, good and just, and who will conquer evil enemies.

You may be familiar with the stories of how Arthur Curry became Aquaman and Strider became Aragon, and in this lesson, you’ll learn the history behind how Israel got its first king.

Before the first King Saul, we will look at the life of Samuel, the last of the Judges. He’s a powerful, fascinating character, that though over 13 chapters in the Bible talk about him, we know little of his personal life. But we know a lot about the things he did for God and how his life was the link between the time of the Judges and Israel’s identity as a nation.

Joshua: How to fight and win in the battles of life

by

Joshua, How to fight and win in the battles of lifeAfter 40 years of wandering, Israel finally gets to enter the Promised Land. God was giving it to them, but they still had to fight for it. Join us to learn about how to fight the battles of life successfully and the warnings of incomplete obedience.

In this podcast, you’ll see how even though we may be doing exactly what God wants us to do, we can still have challenges, but with God’s help, not in our own strength, we can overcome them. We can learn encouraging, positive applications from that.

We also need to look carefully at the book of Joshua for what happens when we don’t completely obey God. Because some of the tribes did not totally destroy the people and idol worship God told them to, they suffered because of it for the rest of their history.

We’ll look at both the positive and negative ways Joshua teaches us to fight and win the spiritual battles of life.

Below the podcast is both a PDF of the notes and the text.

Deuteronomy: God’s love and how we should live in response

by

Bible805.com podcast on Deuteronomy

Moses knows he will shortly die and after 40 years in the desert, the now formed nation Israel will go into the Promised Land.  The book of Deuteronomy contains Moses’ final words to his people.

The book is a series of sermons where he restates and summarizes much of the content of the previous books of the Law.

The tone of the book is more pastoral and less thundering than his previous messages. It is the first book that God declares His Love for His people. Earlier in the Bible

He commanded love for others, but this is the first book that explicitly states his love for us.

In the light of that love, Moses show obeying his commands is for the good and happiness of his people then and for us now.

There is so much in this book that Jesus quoted in his temptation and still speaks to us today! Listen now!

Below the podast that follows is a print out of the notes and a downloadable PDF of them.
