"Seek, and you will FIND." A weekly discussion of the Bible and faith in the risen Jesus. Main topic: What can we learn from the letters Jesus sent to 7 churches in the first century a.d.?
This lesson begins the account of Joseph and his brothers. But not even his dysfunctional family will be able to keep him from rising above all the drama to become an illustration of the future Savior. They will try anyway.

See also the Encyclopedia Britannica, 11th Edition, under "J". Critics love to point out that there were no J's in Hebrew or Greek (in fact, there were no Latinized letters at all). The earliest uses of J still made the Y sound anyway, because it was actually the letter I with a different form when it started a word.

This lesson continues the study of the book of Exodus and the many laws of Moses. Since most of the material consists of very detailed instructions on the Tabernacle and priestly garments, the chapters after 24 will only be briefly summarized.

Salvation is an offer of adoption that you accept by trusting the Jesus who rose from the dead. You can't earn it or work to keep it; you can only live in humble gratitude for it. Jesus is the only way to be adopted by God as our Father.
We are Christ’s ambassadors, so God makes his appeal through us: Be reconciled to God. This is the Good News! Christ died for our sins according to prophecy, then he was buried, and then he was raised on the third day according to prophecy. When we heard the word of this saving Good News, we believed and were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit. At that moment we were guaranteed eternal life.
Because of that, we live in humble gratitude, since this isn't a license to sin. At salvation we were cleaned up, set apart, and cleared of all charges, not by performing good deeds or obeying the law of Moses, but by faith alone. We were saved only by the grace of God. It wouldn't be a gift if you had to earn it or had to work to keep it. Instead, you live to please God out of love.

No other religious tenet is so attacked and hated as that Jesus rose from the dead, which is the crux of the Christian faith. Today I'll be going point-by-point on one such attack from Bro. Sanchez TV a few years ago, just brought to my attention yesterday: https://youtu.be/QupYBK1qyis

There are many claims about how the Bible was assembled and by whom, but few such claims are based upon thorough research.

The first letter from Paul to Timothy was written somewhere between 61 and 64 AD. It addresses how to deal with false teachers and how an established congregation is best arranged. Though it's often called a "pastoral epistle", note that Timothy is more of a church planter and missionary than a resident elder.

God is the ultimate authority on boundaries of behavior, but he gives us freedom of conscience within them. What does the Bible say about how and where we draw those lines? Is total abstinence of anything a sign of spiritual maturity, or spiritual weakness?

The book of Judges is about a series of leaders in Israel who were not chosen by parentage or prestige but by God, as Israel finished settling in the Promised Land.
