  • 10.13 What Did Ezekiel See by the River Chebar?

    This is the story of Ezekiel's fantastic vision of the glory of the Lord in Babylon and what it meant to him.

    Ezekiel describes his vision in Ezekiel 1. This story also includes Ezekiel's vision of the departure of the glory of the Lord from the temple in Jerusalem, which is described in Ezekiel 10-11.

    The lament of the exiles is taken from Psalm 137.

    The story of Naaman that is referenced is found in 2 Kings 5:1-19.

    • 10.12 Moses' Meet Cute

      It seems as if Moses' first marriage is on the rocks, but look, there seems to be a new woman in his life, and she seems to be... a Cushite?

      To quote a good friend of mine, "Is that in the Bible?

      The story is based on Numbers 12:1-16. The reference to Moses and Zipporah's divorce comes from Exodus 18:1-9, and the story of the emergency circumcision is found in Exodus 4:24-26.

        • 10.10 Who Killed Saul? The Coldest Case

          There are two contradictory stories told of the death of King Saul in the Bible. So, who dunnit? And, maybe more importantly, why did they do it?

          And was it murder most foul?

          Based on the two stories of the death of Saul in 1 Samuel 31 and 2 Samuel 1, and the story of the raid on Ziklag by the Amalekites is in 1 Samuel30.

          Also references the sad tale of Saul's "genocide" of the Amalekites as told in 1 Samuel 15.

            King Saul is told by the Prophet Samuel to do something terrible. Could such a message truly come from God, or did something interfere with the transmission?

              The man who had been born blind may not have seen Jesus and his disciples walking towards him, but he heard them. He heard what the disciples asked and what the teacher replied. What was he thinking and feeling as they were all talking about him, but no one was talking to him?

                This is the story of how the author of the Gospel of Matthew came to make his strange adaptations and expansions of the story of the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Why on earth did he insist that Jesus mounted and rode two donkeys at once?

                      The Book of Acts tells a wild story about what happened while Paul was in Corinth, and it involved a guy named Sosthenes. Later, Paul wrote a letter to the church in Corinth with a guy named Sosthenes .

                      Coincidence? Maybe.

                      Or maybe the writer of the Book of Acts was trying to get a message across with the story he wrote.

                      Based on Acts 18:1-18 and 1 Corinthian 1:1-17.
