When most people get into the books of Old Testament Laws, especially in Leviticus and Numbers, with all the odd and obscure laws and regulations, they bail out.
And why shouldn’t they? What do these laws and regulations have to do with us today? [Read more…]
Have you ever felt stuck, trapped, not where you want to be or expected you’d be at this time in your life?
The last few years for many have been times of lockdowns, isolation, and disruptions of all sorts. Current challenges aside, at any time of life we can become trapped, emotionally, physically, or spiritually. [Read more…]
With this week’s lesson, we move from studying one person’s life, Abraham, to how God transforms his people into the nation of Israel, who God will use as His representatives on earth, the ones who will write His Word, demonstrate His worship, and eventually be the family that bears the Savior of the world, Jesus. [Read more…]
In Genesis, with the life of Abraham, we have a big shift, where God moves from working with all of humanity to a focus on ONE man, who will become the founder of the Jewish nation. Ultimately three major religions in our world today claim him as their founder: the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim religions. [Read more…]
One of the great answers we discovered the first video of this series is the assurance that Life after death is a great promise to those who believe in Jesus. Yet that assurance brings up another question that we will answer in this lesson which is:
“What about those who have never heard of Jesus?” [Read more…]
We need a GPS, a global positioning system to help us live a life that pleases God.
A GPS in our car or phone can give us directions because it is linked to a system of satellites orbiting the earth that can pinpoint where we are within 1 centimeter of accuracy. We might be lost or not know how to get from place to place where we are on earth. [Read more…]
We may not think of Psalms as a book of the Bible about discipleship, but in reality, it is one of the most instructive books in the Bible to help us follow Jesus in all areas of life, which is the essence of being a disciple.
Dallas Willard described discipleship in this way: [Read more…]
On the Bible805 Bible Reading Schedule we are going through the Bible in Chronological order.
You’ll notice that along with the longer passage each day is a Psalm or a chapter in Proverbs. [Read more…]
Where do we go for truth today? For a connection with reality in living our day-to-day lives and for our eternal salvation?
We certainly won’t get it from the media or the news or from asking one of the new AI chatbots (artificial intelligence online sources that are upending content creation on the web and in business). The only trustworthy place to find the truth is in God’s Word. [Read more…]
Committing to reading the Bible in the coming year in chronological order is a significant time-consuming and spiritual decision. There are many schedules available for you to do that and I encourage you to make the most of any and all of them. However, the one I created for you from Bible805 is the result of much time, prayer, study, and revision from both the perspective of a Bible teacher and a trained historian. Following are a podcast, video, and a written transcript of the specific reasons why I organized the readings into the order that I did. [Read more…]
The Old Testament makes up a large section of our Bibles, but though many people are familiar with the first part of it with the stories of Creation and the early characters in Biblical history, many people stop there.
Unfortunately also is the idea many people have of the Old Testament is that it is a collection of ancient stories and fables and not something based on true history that can be objectively verified. [Read more…]
What is the purpose of the stories in the Bible? If someone does something that seems a bit odd like Gideon setting out a fleece to determine God’s will or the Children of Israel walking around the walls of Jericho to conquer it. [Read more…]
