Understanding the Bible

Moses saw God, or at least his back as he was walking away, and Moses' face shined so bright that people couldn't be around him and he had to wear a veil. I can see why the Bible says that:Revelation 21: 23"And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof."This episode gets into the sacrificial system that God instituted for the Israelites and why it was so important. The miracle here is the almighty God of the Universe putting into writing a permanent record of all that He requires for you to be right with Him and be able to spend eternity with Him.Listen to this to understand the awesome miracle and prophecy that is wrapped up in this!#Sacrifice #LambofGod #forgiveness #Moses #Jews #Israel #Zion

This is the story of the miracles of Exodus, the Israelite nations introduction to their God. At this point in history, every single person of the nation was familiar with the gods of Egypt and the way their God had miraculously defeated them all.In hindsight we can see the fulfillment of God's promises and prophecies. Journey with me through Exodus and try to see the new nation's perspective as they witnessed the power of God first hand and learned His laws for the first time!#Exodus #miracles #10commandments #moses #israelites #manna

Miracles are by definition something that Science cannot explain. Miracle: a surprising and welcome event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and is therefore considered to be the work of a divine agency.Science is natural, physical, dealing with real matter and laws of nature. The divine is SUPERnatural which literally means above the natural. Miracles cannot be explained by natural laws because miracles are done by one who is above the natural order of things.Listen to this episode today to learn more and hear about some of the miracles that the Bible records for us.#miracles #Exodus #PartingtheRedSea #God #supernatural

Real Jewish history as read from Genesis and Exodus backed up by archeological and historical facts. If you ever wanted to know where the Christian faith ultimately comes from; it is thru Jesus Christ who was a Jew. He was the fulfillment of the promise to God's chosen people of a Messiah who would be the sacrifice for their sins.Thank God for the Jewish nation and for the forefathers of our faith; Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, and Moses who chose to believe God!Genesis 12:3 "And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed."#Abraham #Moses #Jews #Israel #Messiah #Exodus

Nothing more heart warming to me than to hear the feats of Heroes. I always think of not just the battles but the things that led up to them and what happens afterwards. The lives saved, the people rescued, the families that the Heroes go home to; or possibly the deserted dwelling that the lonely warrior gets to rest in after it is all over.Not all warriors are heroes, but all Hero's are warriors. God wants us all to be warriors for Him!Listen to this fascinating story of King David's Mighty Men of valor!#warriors #hero #DavidsMightyMen #KingDavid #Benaiah #soldiers #Israel

This is definitely a grand finale on Heroes of the Bible, even though I don't intend this to be the last hero I talk about! The question in our minds should be, what is a Hero? It is NOT a sports star, celebrity, singer, inventor, politician etc.A hero is someone who does something great at the risk of their own life, like a soldier or a firefighter. Sometimes they pay the ultimate price, and actually lose their life to save another.Listen to the greatest Hero story ever told!#JesusisAlive #HeisRisen #Easter #ResurrectionDay #Christianity #Bible

This is the final episode on the Church! Listen today to find the 3-fold purpose of the church and what it means to you. We started this series in 2024 with Creation and why God created humans in the first place. Then we went all the way thru the O.T. and system of sacrifices leading up to Jesus Christ who was ultimate sacrifice. This episode ties it all together and shows why the church matters and why we should "gather together" as the New Testament tells us to do. #Church #Believers #JesusChrist #Bible #Sabbath #tradition #religion

Not your typical feel good story today. This is the harsh reality of war. Today we talk about Jael, a women 3000 years ago in the middle east who dared to raise her hand against a man, a General who came as a friend, to the house of her husband. She was a Kenite woman, from a nomadic tribe of people who were probably friends with the Israelites. They were the people of Moses' wife. This is her story from the book of Judges.

The first building that God ever instructed humans to build was a tent called the Tabernacle. This was literally the dwelling place of God when He led the people out of Egypt, all the way until the time of King Solomon when a permanent Temple was made. The tabernacle had specific gold and silver fasteners and plates that were made to be taken apart so that they could move the building as God led them into the Promised Land. Certain priests were named, the tribe of Levi was specifically called out to serve, and these people were consecrated to the service of God and given the privilege of meeting with Him in the tabernacle.
