An
opportunity to study Jesus
in his own country
and in his own historical context.
The biblical world contains many lessons that we can draw on to strengthen our Christian faith. Often appreciating the culture of the time can spread new light on our
understanding of the Bible and our lives today.Filmed on location in Israel, the Faith Lessons course (featuring teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan) is an in-depth video tour of the places where the stories of the Bible actually happened. You’ll never read the Bible the same way again!
Over the course of 10 sessions we will focus on the last week of Jesus’ earthly life— the things he did and said—as together we explore Faith Lessons on the Death & Resurrection of The Messiah.
Dates & Themes of Meetings:
2009 Jan 8th
Power to the People (Southern Stairs) 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.
Jan 22nd
Total Commitment (Caesarea) 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.
