The Bible lessons on this site are the core, heart, and foundation of the Bible805 teaching ministry, whose purpose is to help you to know, trust, apply, and teach the Bible.
This site and ministry was designed to help both individuals do that and to equip and train those who want to teach the Bible.
There are hundreds of resources available here and are organized into topic areas with overview videos HERE. In addition, the drop-down menu above has topic areas you can click on for the individual lessons in them.
If you want to teach the materials, everything you need is available through the Bible805 Academy.
New materials are added frequently, and to keep informed and inspired, CLICK HERE to sign up for the Bible805 newsletter.

Though it sounds complex, the topic of this lesson has important and practical implications for how you live day-to-day.
Let me explain—as this lesson shows, God’s view of time, seeing and knowing all that is past, present, and future is what enables us to understand prophecy and trust that what He promised in the past He will fulfill in the future just as He made promises in the past in the Old Testament that He fulfilled in the New Testament.
