As this infographic shows, the New Testament gives us the historically valid history of Jesus, his life, death, and resurrection, and the history of the founding of the Christian Church and its doctrines rests on a solid textual history.

Introduction to the New Testament, the critical importance of correct dating

by

Intro to the New Testament lessonThe New Testament makes some extraordinary claims including that the long-prophesied Messiah came into the world, lived, taught, died, and rose again to offer a restored relationship to God to all who believe in Him.

Haggai and Zechariah, finish what you start, God always does

by

Haggai and Zechariah, lessonThese books were written 14‐16 years after the Jews went back to the land after their captivity. The return itself was a glorious work of God.

Once in the land, there were challenges when the surrounding people tried to stop them, but God intervened there also. The Israelites had seen God conquer and give victory in much greater problems and He took care of this situation also and they got permission from the king to continue building.

But they didn’t—even though God miraculously provided permission for them to continue building the temple, they got distracted, a lot like we do from the work God gives us to do. [Read more…]
