Lesson 4 – Genealogies, Floods and Towers

Methusaleh gave birth to his son Noah. Noah built the ark God commanded him to build before the world was destroyed by the flood. Methusaleh lived 969 years.

Lesson 16 – Jewish Holy Days

During a recent discussion on the significance of each Jewish holy day, a devout Jew responded at one point saying, “As a general rule, most Jewish holidays follow a simple formula—they tried to kill us, they didn’t succeed, let’s eat.” While there is certainly an element of humor in the comment, there is also an […]

Lesson 44 – The Divided Monarchy – Judah – Part 4

God is not simply a parachute to be pulled out when one is falling to one’s death. Where is God in our life when things are going well? Do we awaken each morning with grateful hearts for the wonderful things we have, including air to breathe and food to eat?! These attitudes rise to the […]

Lesson 53 – Jeremiah – Part 1

“Jeremiah was a bullfrog, such a good friend of mine.” Are you old enough to rember those lyrics from Three Dog Night’s song, “Joy to the World”? Did you know that the original lyrics were once intended to be, “Jeremiah was a PROPHET, such a good friend of mine.” It is true that Jeremiah was […]

Lesson 5 – Abraham, God and Christ

“For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit” (2 Peter 1:16-21). In this sense Mark Lanier peers into Scripture’s writings about Abraham. We will pull out three different events in Abraham’s life. These are three vignettes where, for […]
