It was during my first college-level Bible class when I heard the word Torah. At the time, I was not familiar with what that word actually meant. I was grateful for my professor’s explanation and have...

Here we see the great dividing line — those who affirm the Bible as the inspired Word of God and those who see it as a human product....

This affirmation of God as the only God—the central theological tenet of the Torah—raises a vitally important question: Do all people who believe in one god believe in the same god? More specifically,...

Shavuot demonstrates that we need to make time for God regularly, remembering what He gave to us not only through the Bible but through His son, Jesus Christ, on the cross. As we set aside these speci...

Scripture places the Sadducees at immense odds with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Sadducees were Jewish, religious, wealthy, and held power. Many were high priests or noblemen. It is likely that alon...

The Greek word Pentateuch (“five books”) refers to the first five books of the Bible, collectively to Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. To a Jew, these five books are also known co...

Jesus talks about fulfilling everything from the law, the prophets, and the writings. So what does that mean, for his audience and for us today?...

This heart change, as we read from the other prophets, would require a new covenant. Jesus, and His work of redemption, is what the “thud” in Nehemiah 13 is crying out for. Real “revival” only happens...

Called “the father of Judaism” or “the second Moses” by some, Ezra was passionate about God’s Law. It was the foundation of his own life, and he used the Torah (which later became the first five books...

What do the religious leaders say to someone like Matthew? They tell him to repent. Change your life. Quit your job. Stop being such a lying, thieving, cheat. And then maybe God will have something to...

In order to see the gospel in Psalms do we need to analyze every single chapter? Are these not individual songs? Or is there a unified theme to the Psalms which also points to the gospel? ...

Adding to this promise of living in God’s kingdom is Luke’s inspiring statement that the kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17:21). Jesus’ teachings about God within us contrasted sharply with the ext...

Just because many people of Jewish descent have rejected Jesus, that does not mean God has turned His back on them. One of the beautiful prophecies in Revelation is that many Jews will turn to their t...

While the star of David doesn’t appear in the Bible nor is it advocated as an “official symbol” of Judaism, it is a meaningful representation of a faithful people and the oldest monotheistic religion ...

Ezra was a scribe and a priest. We read about him in the Old Testament. Although details of his birth, youth, and family information are not shared in Scripture, we learn that Ezra was a man dedicated...

If you just open your Bible up to Acts 10, this will be a rather confusing section. Why is God so concerned with Peter eating these animals? What does this have anything to do with the good news of Je...

Jesus’ message conflicted with both approaches. The Pharisees and Sadducees were important figures rising to prominence in Israel after the return from exile through the first century, but Jesus’ impo...

Clearly, divorce is not God’s preference or something he likes, but rather something he permitted as a way to provide for his people who were suffering....

We can tell how beloved women are to God by how radically Jesus treated women as he walked the earth. He broke every societal rule to include, encourage, and uplift women--and believes in you the same...
