Listen to the entire series: https://evidence4faith.org/christianbasics The Old Covenant or Old Testament is often overlooked in favor of the New Testament. The Old Covenant is criticized for portraying an angry God or being irrelevant to Jesus’ story. As mentioned in the previous lesson, there is a specific reason why Christians need to study the Old and New Testaments together. This lesson will dive deeper into the importance and specific purpose of the Old Testament to help you develop a foundation for further study. This lesson is from our Basics of Apologetics series. The purpose of this series is to help new believers (and maybe not so new believers) understand the building blocks of their faith and be equipped to investigate the difficult questions about their belief.

Listen to the entire series: https://evidence4faith.org/christianbasics Most will be familiar with one of the four Gospels and the story of salvation through Jesus. God’s love is the most emphasized aspect of the New Testament and a very well meaning slogan for today’s culture. However the New Testament is not just about love and if that’s all we learn from it, we will miss the greater point of our faith in Christ. This lesson will help broaden your understanding of the New Testament so you can be better equipped to learn and grow from this section of the Bible in your personal study. This lesson is from our Basics of Apologetics series. The purpose of this series is to help new believers (and maybe not so new believers) understand the building blocks of their faith and be equipped to investigate the difficult questions about their belief.

Listen to the entire series: https://evidence4faith.org/christianbasics The Bible is divided into two “testaments.” A common misconception about these “testaments” is that they are completely independent from each other. This idea lacks understanding of why the Bible canon was put together the way it is and what purpose each Testament serves. This session will address these questions and give you a big picture understanding of how these two parts of the Bible work together. This lesson is from our Basics of Apologetics series. The purpose of this series is to help new believers (and maybe not so new believers) understand the building blocks of their faith and be equipped to investigate the difficult questions about their belief.

These could be considered old library books with important historical records about the city, its rulers, and major events. This cylinder and the works of the historian Josephus help us piece together a picture of the rise and reign of Cyrus. The Bible also contains an account of the reign of Cyrus.

DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ Listen to previous episodes: https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/keepthefiresburning/ Mary and Martha’s story often singles out Martha as being in the wrong. Is this the correct perspective? Martha is hosting and serving Jesus and his following and fulfilling the responsibilities of a good host. She clearly is working very hard and should be commended on what she does right. Her error seems to be in her motives. How can we avoid doing a good thing for the wrong reason and get our motivation in the right place? This lesson is from our series Keep the Fires Burning, a Bible study series of the minor characters of the Bible that can teach us major lessons.

DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ Listen to previous episodes: https://evidence4faith.org/portfolio/keepthefiresburning/ Martha asks Jesus to reprimand Mary for sitting and listening to Jesus teaching instead of helping her host the house guests. Instead, Jesus supports Mary’s choice. Sitting at a Rabbi’s feet was not insignificant in the first century, especially for women. Our cultural standards are not Jesus’ or God’s standards. But that’s not the only reason Jesus commended Mary’s choice.

DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ The Bible describes King Belshazzar as the last king of Babylon before the Medo-Persians took over but history tell us that Nabonidus was king at the time. Is this an error in the biblical record? An archeological artifact called the Nabonidus Chronicle which describes the fall of Babylon and its rulers sheds some light on this apparent discrepancy. This video is from our series on the Archaeology of Daniel. The book of Daniel is the second most criticized book of the Bible (behind Jonah).

He wasn’t so different from many young people today looking to make their way in the world (except maybe for his wealth).

During the time of Israel’s Kings, Israel went through many periods of changing their minds on what was true and right.

Peer pressure can come from work, friends, family, religious and political groups, and other social communities we frequent. For example it’s easy to be Christian and behave in step with biblical principles when living in short term Christian communities like Christian camps. But it’s a lot harder to live out those values when surrounded by other communities that don’t share those values or beliefs. It becomes easier to compromise a little here and a little there to keep our social status within these communities. What are the consequences of giving into this peer pressure and can it be overcome? Aaron’s story from the Bible can give us insight into this problem.
