Bible podcasts, videos, blogs, printables, and more to help you know, trust, and apply the Bible.
from Yvon Prehn to help you know, trust, and apply the Bible
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 continue to be added frequently and to keep informed, CLICK HERE to sign up for the Lion's Voice, the Bible805 newsletter.

This way of sharing the gospel has been used by thousands of churches through the years. [Read more…]

In our previous lesson, we looked at the big, theological word “Hermeneutics” that in summary means the guidelines we use to properly understand the Bible so that we can apply it in the way God wants it applied. [Read more…]

After the decision was made as to which books would go into our Bibles, it was still a long, complex, and difficult time before most people had what we take for granted—our own Bibles in the language we speak. [Read more…]
Who decided what books are in the Bible?
Many have heard the term “Canonicity” used with this topic—what does it mean? [Read more…]
A primary criticism of the New Testament is that critics say that Christians intentionally left out and/or suppressed certain writings, primarily what we call the Gnostic Gospels and that they should be part of our New Testament and aren’t. [Read more…]
Many people assume the New Testament was written hundreds of years after the life of Christ. If that was true, how then do we know that what was talked about in the Bible, His miracles and especially His resurrection from the dead, how do we know those aren’t real, but myths and legends that developed many years after He lived? [Read more…]
In the previous lesson in our series on How We Got Our Bibles, we looked at the Apocrypha, the series of books written between the Old and New Testaments, and the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible done at that time. [Read more…]
