Matthew 2 starts out just after the birth of Christ, immediately placing the listener in what will become a life or death situation for the newborn savior of the world. The jealous and nervous king Herod gave a decree that all of the children two and younger were to be killed, which forced Christ and his parents to flee into Africa to escape.

The birth of Christ is possibly one of the most controversial sto-ries among believers. Was Mary really a virgin when she got pregnant or was Joseph the father? Did Christ fit the signs of the Messiah in the Old Testament or should we be looking for another? Only two of the four synoptic gospels go in depth about the birth and early years of Christ. As we read through the books of Matthew and Luke, we begin to get a clearer picture of the first twelve years of the life of Christ. Understanding those early years are vital when it comes to knowing who it is we believe in and why.

The life of Christ is the central focus of the entire New Testament. His birth was prophesied in the Old Testament, and those that knew of his coming patiently awaited his arrival. While not much is known about the early years of his life, we do have bits and pieces scattered throughout the gospels, that give us glimpses of what Christ’s life was like prior to him starting the ministry we are mostly familiar with from the latter part of his life.

The Moab Covenant can be found in Deuteronomy 28 and many believe it to be one of the most important covenants in the Bible. It lays out a series of future blessings and curses that would play a significant role in Israel’s history. Chapters 29 – 32 build upon the terms and conditions found in Chapter 28 and contain references to the timeframe when the curses will take place in the future. These chapters were so important, that God commanded them to be read in front of the congregation every seven years during the Feast of Tabernacles, as a continual reminder.

Does the Bible really teach “Once Saved, Always Saved”? In a time when convenience is often mistaken for conviction, Holding Fast the Profession of Faith takes a bold stand on one of the most debated doctrines in Christianity: eternal security. With deep reverence for God’s Word and a firm foundation in the King James Version, this book carefully examines the claim that salvation, once received, can never be forfeited.

Is there an unpardonable sin? Will a Christian ever be rejected by God? How secure is salvation? These questions are troubling to many people are the source of fear and anxiety. The Bible tells us that Satan is the "accuser of the brethren" and his favorite tool of accusation is the scripture itself. This book provides explanations of difficult or troubling passages used by Satan to prey on the minds of vulnerable individuals.

The Apostle Paul was given a radical message to deliver to the world. Paul preached that we are brought into possession of everything that God has for us, not by strenuous moral effort, good works, or self-sacrifice, but by simple faith in Christ alone. Furthermore, he taught that we cannot improve upon the finished work of Christ in our lives by ascetic activities such as fasting or other forms of self-denial. As Christians, we are "complete in him", and there is no room for improvement.

Introduction and reflections by T.C. Griswold.

What does the Bible say about sexuality? How have traditions of biblical interpretation influenced our understanding of sex and gender? What the Bible Says About Sex answers that and many other questions. Not shy, it analyzes why the Church claimed dominion over marriage, while the female body remained a source of potential evil. It wrestles with how sexuality is used to reinforce notions of honor, and how it can be used to manipulate others. It looks brazenly at the pornographic and the erotic passages of the Bible, and how traditions of interpretation veiled them.

In How to Read the Bible, Harvard professor James Kugel leads the listener chapter by chapter through the "quiet revolution" of recent biblical scholarship, showing time and again how radically the interpretations of today''s researchers differ from what people have always thought.

In Why Four Gospels? noted Greek and New Testament scholar David Alan Black concisely and clearly presents the case for the early development of the gospels, beginning with Matthew, rather than Mark. This is much more than a discussion of the order in which the gospels were written. Using both internal data from the gospels themselves and an exhaustive and careful examination of the statements of the early church fathers, Dr. Black places each gospel in the context of the early development of Christianity.

Are you tired of comparing yourself to others and questioning your worth? Do you long to understand your purpose and walk confidently in who God created you to be? In Eyes Have Not Seen, Ears Have Not Heard, the author takes you on a biblical journey of discovery, teaching you how to embrace your individuality and unlock the blessings designed specifically for your life.

A careful reading of Matthew 3:11 reveals no indication that the “fire” in this passage refers to condemnation. Instead, John’s words point to the refining and empowering work of the Holy Spirit.

El nacimiento de Cristo es posiblemente una de las historias más controvertidas entre los creyentes. ¿Era María realmente virgen cuando quedó embarazada o José era el padre? ¿Encajaba Cristo con las señales del Mesías en el Antiguo Testamento o deberíamos buscar otro? Solo dos de los cuatro evangelios sinópticos profundizan sobre el nacimiento y los primeros años de Cristo. A medida que leemos los libros de Mateo y Lucas, comenzamos a tener una imagen más clara de los primeros doce años de la vida de Cristo.

Mark 13, often referred to as the Olivet Discourse, is a pivotal chapter within the New Testament, dedicated primarily to eschatology (the study of the end times) and Christ's prophecies regarding future events. Spoken by Christ on the Mount of Olives, overlooking the holy city of Jerusalem, this discourse addresses two main themes: the impending destruction of the temple and the ultimate second coming of Christ.

Revelation 1 serves as the powerful prologue to the Book of Revelation, framing it not as a puzzle, but as the direct revelation of Jesus Christ. Writing from his exile on the island of Patmos, the apostle John records his dramatic vision of the glorified and resurrected Christ, an awe-inspiring figure with eyes like blazing fire and a voice like rushing waters. The chapter emphasizes key themes of divine authority, as Jesus reveals himself as the Alpha and Omega, the one who holds the keys of Hell and death.
