Dr. Dan Hayden - A Word from the Word

Born of a Virgin, Part 1 - The truth of the Virgin Birth is not just a romantic notion to inspire us at Christmas time. It is foundational to our salvation and fundamental to our Christian faith. The Savior must be holy; He cannot be contaminated with the sin of Adam. (41:38)

When Mary Magdalene saw the empty tomb she was down on empty. She said, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him. The Apostle John, on the other hand, had a different reaction to the empty tomb. When he stepped into the tomb and saw the linen wrappings and face-cloth, it says that he saw, and believed. John was UP ON EMPTY. In this message from John 20:1-10, we look into the empty tomb to learn how we also can be up on empty. (40:23)

Palm Sunday is our traditional day for celebrating the triumphal entry of Christ into Jerulaem. On that day, Jesus was offering Himself to the nation of Israel as their King in fulfillment of Zechariah's prophecy. Anticipating the rejection of their King, Zechariah made another prediction - that Jesus, The Messiah, would come again and descend from the Mount of Olives. John tells us that on that occasion, He will be riding a great white war horse instead of a lowly donkey. (31:34)

And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. – Isaiah 9:6 - Isaiah 9:6 (45:01)

Jesus Christ is the only true Way to the only true God - Isaiah 9:6 (36:02)

How long has it been since you memorized verses of Scripture? Dan Hayden explains when, why and how he developed his proven method of Bible memorization and retention: Mindful of the Truth (51:21)

Easter, like Christmas, is a religious paradox. On the one hand, it is a Christian celebration with great biblical meaning - the birth of Christ at Christmas and the resurrection of Christ at Easter. But on the other hand, it is a pagan holiday with heathen origins and with significant mythological connections. As a result of this paradox, many Christians feel like they are on the horns of a dilemma. Since it has heathen connections, they reason, should we as Christians celebrate the holiday? (33:35)

The book Four Blood Moons by John Hagee has become a best seller and is the current interest with regard to prophetic studies. Is this another prophetic fad or is this a legitimate concern on biblical prophecy and something we should seriously consider? (44:59)

In the Fullness of Time - Part 4. Our perspective of time versus God's perspective of time. (41:44)

In the Fullness of Time - Part 3. Mary's miraculous virgin conception is one of the most wonderful stories in the Bible. It begins with an amazing conversation between a young Jewish girl living in Nazareth and an angel who has come directly from the presence of God. Gabriel tells Mary that the Holy Spirit will conceive a seed in her womb apart from any intimate experience with a man and Mary immediately humbles herself to accept this miracle from God - even though it will be misunderstood by others. (31:12)
