How to Fit the Bible Into a Busy Life, and how to get the most out of it
This video summarizes several longer ones on the importance of reading the Bible in Chronological order.
It’s a useful motivational one to prepare people for reading through the Bible in Chronological Order in the coming year. I created this one for a business group and they liked it. It’s a little less serious than the ones I do for church audiences and I tried not to make assumptions that people knew what I was talking about in this. [Read more…]
Whiner, Worker, Witness or Wonder Lessons learned from Ezekiel and Daniel
The setting for this lesson is that—time has run out. After hundreds of years of warnings and challenges, it’s over for Judah.
Daniel and Ezekiel are in Babylon taken there in an early deportation before the end came in Jerusalem. What seemed horrible to them at the time was a great blessing in disguise— they were kept from the horrors of the siege, the total destruction of Jerusalem, and final deportation. Daniel and his 3 friends were taken to the palace; Ezekiel was relocated with the captive people, near the river. [Read more…]
The Trinity, essential to understand, not nearly as hard as you might think it is, a series of lessons
Every false cult and false religion has at its base an incorrect understanding of the Trinity.
From the earliest days of the Christian faith and the early creeds, a correct understanding of the Trinity has been recognized as an essential doctrine to understand. Yet today many people think it is too difficult when it isn’t. [Read more…]
How We Got Our Bibles, a lesson group including the Old & New Testaments, Apocrypha, Canonicity, and the English Bible
Jesus replied to His critics by saying “You are in error because you don’t know the scriptures, (Matt.22:29).” And many Christians believe that His reply is a summary statement that reminds us that all we don’t know, how we ought to live today and forever, can be found when we get to know the Bible. Getting to know the Bible is a foundational task of a disciple of Jesus. [Read more…]
How to Understand the Apocalyptic Passages in the Bible
When we read through the Prophets in the Old Testament, particularly when we get to Ezekiel and Daniel we are introduced to fantastic images, whirling wheels, fantastic beasts, and world-shaking prophecies. This type of writing is what is known as “apocalyptic” and it’s useful to take some time to understand this type of writing, this genre in the Bible to understand the books that contain it. [Read more…]
Infographic of the last five kings of Judah, Josiah to the captivitythat makes sense!
I have always had a hard time figuring out the final years of the Southern Kingdom of Israel before it went into captivity, especially figuring out who was king and when.
It doesn’t help at all that one of the major books about the time, Jeremiah isn’t in order in how he relates God’s judgment—he jumps back and forth between various kings and with their similar names, Jehoiakim, Jehoiakim, and Jehoahaz, plus their father/grandfather Josiah—I got confused. [Read more…]
Is God fair? what properly dating the Old Testament prophecy has to say about it and how it applies to us
Introductory note from Yvon: I created this infographic to go along with the lesson, The Fall of Israel, How Falling is Never Final with Our God. A key part of that lesson is the importance of the proper dating of when God gave the children of Israel His laws and the repeated warnings of the prophets before judgment came. [Read more…]
The Prophet Habakkuk & His Questions It’s OK to ask God “Why?”
Is it really OK to ask God “why?” We all have questions like these:
- Why does God allow evil?
- Why do evil people get away with things?
- Why do good people get caught up in the mess others make?
Live with the End in Mind, hopeful, joyful reminders from Micah, Isaiah, and Zephaniah
The bestselling book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People totally revolutionized the lives of millions of people and one of the habits he talked about is a great summary of our lesson today. The habit I’m talking about is Habit #2—Begin With the End in Mind
The prophets who preached after the fall of Israel and before Judah was conquered by Babylon preached to challenge people to do this. [Read more…]
Fall of Israel, how falling is never final with our God
When God delivered Israel from slavery in Egypt, they met God at Mt. Sinai and there God not only gave them the 10 Commandments and His other laws for how to live, but He offered them a covenant, an agreement with Him that if they would obey and follow His commands, they would be His people, His treasured possession who He would bless. [Read more…]
Hosea, the Prophet, how God uses human lives as lessons
Just before Hosea appears, God sent the prophet Amos to condemn the sins of Israel. Amos preached forceful, harsh messages for about 3 years.
With Hosea God gives his people a similar message that they have violated his covenant and judgment is coming, but in a very different way. [Read more…]
