Revive your interest in the Bible—fascinating facts about prophecy, God and time, & and why the Bible is like your favorite novel

2026-09-07 by bible805

Revive your interest in the Bible This lesson challenges us to see the Bible not as a scattered collection of loosely related writings, but as one coherent story with God as its primary Author. Its structure follows the movement of a great story—from creation and humanity’s rebellion, through God’s preparation for redemption, to the climax of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, and finally to Christ’s return and the New Heaven and New Earth. The lesson also explores how true history, predictive prophecy, and progressive revelation support the unity of the Bible. Because God is outside of time, He can reveal His plan across centuries while working through many human writers. The lesson concludes by asking where each of us fits in God’s great story and urges us to know the Bible well, obey it, and faithfully live the part God has given us.

The Bible is not just a collection of ancient texts; it’s a divine communication that offers everything we need for a meaningful relationship with God. In this lesson, we explore the question of whether the Bible is human or divine, examining three compelling reasons that affirm its divine authorship. First, we’ll look at how the Bible’s content is rooted in true history, providing a solid foundation for understanding its significance. Next, we’ll discuss the unique nature of biblical prophecy, revealing how predictions made centuries ago have come to pass, indicating an author who exists outside of time. Finally, we’ll highlight the consistent voice throughout the Bible that resonates with divine truth, distinguishing it from other religious writings.

Understanding that the Bible is like a NOVEL, not a collection of short stories, has a tremendous impact on our faith. Click on the image to download a PDF of it.

Understanding whether the Bible is a like a cohesive novel or a collection of short stories is crucial to how we engage with it and respond to its teachings. This lesson explores the implications of viewing the Bible as one unified story versus a scattered anthology of human writings. We unpack how these differing perspectives influence our interpretations and applications of biblical teachings in our lives. I’ll share insights on the historical context of these views, touching on the Enlightenment’s impact and the rise of human reason in biblical scholarship. We’ll also explore the structural elements of storytelling as outlined by Gustav Freytag, comparing them to the narrative of the Bible, ultimately revealing why seeing it as a single narrative authored by God carries profound significance for our faith and understanding of God’s purpose.

Understanding the Trinity, part Two, The One Substance of the Trinity

2026-07-09 by bible805

Understanding the Trinity, Part One, The Three Persons of the Trinity

2026-07-09 by bible805

This lesson explains that the doctrine of the Trinity is not a confusing mystery but a truth revealed throughout the Bible. It introduces the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three distinct, eternal persons who share the one divine nature. It also addresses common misunderstandings, explains biblical personhood, and shows how each member of the Trinity works together in perfect unity for our salvation.

Answers to the Big Questions of Life, Genesis and Job, part three

2026-06-24 by bible805

In this final lesson in the Genesis and Job series, we explore three important questions: What about people who have never heard of Jesus? Why do innocent people suffer? How can we help people who are suffering?

Through the story of Job and examples throughout the Bible, we see that God is at work in ways we often cannot see or fully understand. We learn that God does not relate to us on a simple transactional basis where obedience guarantees earthly prosperity. Instead, God is sovereign, spiritual warfare is real, suffering can serve purposes beyond our understanding, and God’s ultimate plans extend into eternity. We are called to trust Him, help others with kindness and wisdom, and maintain an eternal perspective in both suffering and service.

Genesis & Job, Answers to the Big Questions of Life, Part Two

2026-06-17 by bible805

Answers to the Big Questions of life PART TWO This lesson continues our study of the Big Questions of Life by examining answers found in Genesis and Job. We learn that God is our Creator and therefore the foundation for our purpose and meaning in life. We also gain a clearer understanding of Satan—his origin, limitations, and methods of deception. Finally, Job provides one of the Bible’s earliest and clearest affirmations of life after death and bodily resurrection, giving believers hope that extends beyond this life. Through Job’s experiences, we are reminded that God remains sovereign, even in suffering, and that our ultimate future is secure in Him.
