6 Ways Christmas Shows Us How God Works In Historical Events

6 Ways Christmas Shows us How God Works in Historical Events
For any time of year this is a historically fascinating lesson on how God worked through hundreds of years to prepare for the birth of Jesus.

When we see how God has worked in and through history it is incredibly exciting! A number of years ago I was looking at maps of the ancient world and realized starting putting together how God used the exile of the Jews, the spread of Alexander the Great’s empire, and the Roman Roads so everything fit together for the coming of Jesus. I dug a bit deeper and found how even more. I created a Sunday School class with this content and this year, put it together in a podcast and videos for you.

For Christmas or any time of year, this is a great example of how God works in history, check them out!

The Bible is our lifeline to all that is good and true and can be trusted—and a bite-sized way to get more into your life

The Bible is our lifeline
The Bible is literally our lifeline for all that is good and true. Take time to learn it well.

We’d think someone was incredibly foolish if they were drowning and they wouldn’t grab hold of a lifeline that was within their grasp.

But we do the same thing when we ignore the Bible.

It is literally a lifeline to all that is good and true and that can be trusted.

Our world today is scary and sadly many respond with lies and bad behavior. We think we don’t know where to turn, but we do.

We have the Bible and my goal on this site is to help you know it better and in more depth so that it becomes in reality, not just your lifeline when you feel you are drowning, but the anchor to every challenge in life and guide for living all of life.

Something new for you

Today is 9-8-2020 and I am still recovering from major surgery and moving much more slowly than I’d like. I want to redo the basic lessons here on Truth & History on why we can trust our Bible and have them available as downloadable PowerPoint lessons. In addition, I want to get going again on the weekly podcasts.

But that will take time.

As I work up to larger projects, while being bed-bound, I discovered Instagram in a new way and have been doing sayings and Bible verses, plus micro-blog commentary to go with them. I will be publishing these on Instagram every Tuesday and Thursday.

Check them out at www.Instagram.com/yvonprehn

If you find the short teachings on it useful, please tell your friends about it.

Please pray for me for strength, wisdom, and the ability to do all possible to help people learn God’s Word, trust it, and live it as confident, at peace, disciples of Jesus.

We could all use good news now and here is the best news—all about salvation in Jesus

An explanation of the good news of salvation in Jesus
C.S. Lewis said that one of the reasons he believed the Christian gospel is that it didn’t make human sense but that it was not something a man could have made up was precisely why he believed it. I’m not sure if I made sense of it or not, but here is an attempt that may be useful.

We could all use good news…..

Pandemic, crazy weather, racial injustice, and political turmoil—wherever we turn, bad news fills our world.

But there is one place the news is good—and that’s in the good news about Jesus. Many call this good news the gospel and that’s what our podcast is about today.

What manner of people ought we to be? As we end our year-long read-through of the Bible?

Final podcast on through the Bible in a yearWhat’s the most important thing we need to think about as we wrap up our year-long journey through the Bible?

We started with Paradise lost in Genesis and we will end with Paradise restored in Revelation, so should we focus on end-time prophecy? Figuring out when Jesus will return?

Hi, I’m Yvon Prehn and welcome to Bible 805!

There are many things we could focus on as we wrap up this year, but) what I decided to talk about as we look back on what we’ve read and look forward to God’s plans for us is to answer the question taken from a passage in 2nd Peter where in light of Jesus coming, he doesn’t focus on the newspaper sensational details of it, but asks:

What manner of people ought we to be?
