Bible Study “On the Death &
Resurrection of The Messiah”
Bible study is postponed for the next two weeks. It will resume on Wednesday
November 12.
7 pm. Christ Church, Bloomfield.
Uncover the "hidden meaning of Scripture" with an exciting faith discovery
series that brings the Bible to life! Uniquely captivating, "Faith Lessons"
reveals keen insights into the relevance of God's Word, making it truly
applicable to today's Christian.
Description:
Filmed on location in Israel by Focus on the Family Films, Faith Lessons
is a unique DVD series that brings God's Word to life with astounding relevance.
By weaving together the Bible's fascinating historical, cultural, religious, and
geographical contexts, teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan reveals keen
insights into the Scripture's significance for modern believers. These
illuminating "faith lessons" afford a new understanding of the Bible that will
ground your convictions and transform your life. Faith Lessons on the Death
and Resurrection of the Messiah focuses on the last week of Jesus' life, his
death and resurrection, and the Holy Spirit's visit on Pentecost.
1. When Storms Come
Just as Jesus stilled the storm, demonstrating his power over the natural world,
so he also takes charge of our raging struggles.
2. Piercing the Darkness
Kursi was believed to be the home of demons. There, in a deliberate choice to
aggressively confront evil, Jesus healed the demon-possessed man.
3. Gates of Hades (Hell)
In the center of this pagan city, Jesus declared, "Upon this rock I will build
my church," challenging believers to boldly wage war on evil.
4. City of the Great King (I) (Jerusalem)
5. City of the Great King (II) (Jerusalem)
When seen in the urban setting of Herod's first century Jerusalem, Jesus'
actions and teachings come alive, sparking a deeper understanding of our faith's
Jewish roots.
6. The Lamb of God
The significance of Passover celebrations and Passover Week events intertwine
with Jesus' choice of time, place, and message.
7. The Weight of the World
Manufacturing olive oil involves intense pressure. This process exposes a fresh
perspective from which we can fully appreciate Jesus' sacrifice, which is our
anointing.
8. Roll Away the Stone
Understanding the significance of Jesus' burial in a Jewish-style tomb
and his resurrection during the Feast of First Fruits reveals the magnitude of
his love and the new life he brings.
9. Power to the People
The day of Pentecost marks the day when God's presence left the temple structure
to dwell in his followers -- empowering us today, as then, to change the world.
10. Total Commitment
David built fame out of simplicity; Herod's palace fortresses were elaborate.
But as with David, who lived for God, what matters most is not what we build,
but for whom we build.
The completely new Faith Lessons resource takes your small group on a round trip
to ancient times, places, and customs, and back again. This lively, interactive
journey is more than fascinating -- it's faith-inspiring and life-changing.
Ray Vander Laan is the founder of That the World May Know
Ministries. When he is not teaching and doing research in Israel, he teaches
in West Michigan at both the high school and seminary levels.
