The day of rest dates all the way back to Creation Week, it’s a blessing for all, and yet it can also be very controversial. In Foundations today and over the next few programs, we’re going to take a deeper look at the Sabbath Day.

There are lots of uses of the word ’blessing’ in the Bible and we use it a lot in our daily interactions with each other as well. Even non-Christians use the word blessing. But what does this word actually mean? That’s what our conversation will be about today on Foundations.

The Feast of Shavuot, or Pentecost is very important to the Jewish people and to Christians as well. We’ll continue learning about this feast and how Jesus is the fulfilment of it.

Pentecost, or the Feast of Shavuot, or the Feast of Weeks is another of the mandatory Feasts of the Lord. It’s a huge celebration to the Jewish people as it represents the giving of the Word of God on Mt Sinai. We’ll spend the program today learning about this amazing Feast.

Christians and most Jews believe that God is good. However, there are some who claim God cannot be good because of some of the commands He’s given in His Word. We began to tackle the challenge of God being good last time on Foundations, and we’ll conclude the conversation of the program today.

There’s a common phrase often used by Christians that says 'God is Good'. Invariable, the response by other Christians is, 'All the time.' Then the reverbing response is, 'All the time, God is good.' However, there are some who say that considering all the terrible things going on in the world, God can’t possibly be good. We’ll have a conversation to tackle that accusation today on Foundations.

We’re concluding our short series on the relationship between God and man, we’ve learned how the Bible describes God’s relationship with Israel as a marriage, and we’ve learned about the ancient Jewish wedding where we could see clearly Jesus and His future Bride, and we’re about to finish our time in the book of Ruth, which gives us a picture of Israel with a broken marriage relationship being restored, with the acceptance of a Gentile bride and a Jewish redeemer.

Our series on Foundations about God and man continues today, in particular we’re continuing our conversation about the book of Ruth. Who the characters are, and how their relationships and the events that took place between them, seem to reflect the relationship described between Christ and the church. That’s our topic in today’s program.
