from Yvon Prehn to help you know, trust, and apply the Bible
Before I share these lessons with you online I teach them to an adult Bible class at my church. Some of the class members are relatively new to following Jesus and have never read through the Bible before. I encourage questions as I teach, and we have discussion following the presentation. I’ve found their questions and comments absolutely invaluable as they help me see things in a new light. [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…]
With this lesson, we start the adventure of reading through the Bible in Chronological Order. It begins by reading Genesis and three days into it, we jump to the book of Job.
We will talk about why we read these two books together and you’ll see how Genesis and Job lay the foundation for much of what we will read in the rest of the Bible by starting out with answers to the Big Questions of life— [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…]

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 word “advent” means arrival or coming, referring to the coming of Jesus to be born as a baby.

Note: I created this initially for my Effective Church Communications ministry (one of the associated ministries of the Bibleverse), but then I realized that it would be important to share with my Bible805 ministry because for all of us sharing the good news about Jesus is the most important thing we can do at this time of year and always.
This way of sharing the gospel has been used by thousands of churches through the years. [Read more…]
