'Foundations' is about filling in the gaps with the information most people miss or are unaware of. The truth is that over time words, definitions and culture changes in dramatic ways and applying present day understanding and meanings to words, phrases and events, can lead to very different conclusions. By learning about the Jewish and Hebrew culture that the Bible was set in and the environment, traditions and understandings of the people whom God chose to write down His Word, we can gain a bigger, deeper and richer understanding of God's Word that we love so much.

Thorns will be out conversation topic today on Foundations. We think of thorns and simply think of the torturous mocking crown that was pushed onto Jesus head when He was crucified. But the thorns represent so much more.

We're continuing our conversation on Foundations today about whether Jesus lost His cool when He drove people out of the Temple, or cursed a poor fig tree for not having any fruit when it wasn't fig season.

Reading the New Covenant (or the Old) without context or having even a light understanding of the culture of the time, can leave you scratching your head over some of the things people did. Some people feel that way about Jesus as well. He was so loving and gracious and forgiving, and then He seeming get angry with a fig tree and curse it, or make a whip and drive people out of the Temple. Why did He do that? Was He in control, or did He completely lose control? That's the focus on Foundations.

It's easy to think that the men of the Bible must have been paragons of virtue and perfection, but when we read the Bible we quickly discover that nothing could be further from the truth. Many of the men God used for His purposes were terrible???and yet God used them in spite of them. Even Moses had a skeleton in his family closet. That's out topic today on Foundations.

We continue our conversation today on Foundations about the importance of the Old Covenant, that's it's not obsolete and in fact is necessary to properly understand the New Covenant.

Sadly, there's a prevailing belief within Christendom that the Old Covenant is obsolete and therefore, we don't need to know it or read it anymore; that's it's no longer relevant?

Very few people get excited when reading the book of Leviticus, because it's a long list of laws and rules and consequences. However, what makes God's Law so unique and distinct from the rest of the ancient world, was the equality that God's Law demanded of His people. No separate rules for the wealthy and elite. That's our focus today on Foundations.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
If you've ever studied different cultures in the ancient world, you learn pretty quickly that when it came to the law, there were different standards and consequences depending on who was being tried. The wealthy, connected and elite often got away with things, or were given lenient sentences when compared to the common fold. In ancient Israel, God's Law was different, it was a level playing field and social status was irrelevant. In God's eyes, the Law applies equally to all. That's the real treasure from Mt Sinai.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
