  • Episode 8: Navigating the Bible Content and Message Part 6: The Four Gospels
    The New Testament starts off with 4 Gospel books written in this order:
    Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Gospel means good news. These 4 Gospels tell
    us about the life and teaching of Jesus Christ. When the word Gospel is
    used in reference to these 4 books it refers to a book that includes the
    historical accounts of what Jesus said and did during his life on earth
    that are geared to the needs of the early church. The Gospels are addressed
    to different audiences and each emphasizes aspects of Jesus’ teaching and
    ministry geared to reaching these various audiences. Towards the end of
    these 4 Gospels is the account of Jesus’ death on the cross and his
    resurrection from the dead on the third day. This episode focuses on
    learning the names of these four Gospel accounts in order and some of their
    content.

    This episode focuses on learning the 12 minor prophetic books in the Old
    Testament which are an important part of God’s Holy Word which we call the
    Bible. These prophetic books show that God will bring judgment upon the
    world because of its sins. God also judges those who call upon his name but
    live lives displeasing to God. These books also give hope to those who
    repent and return to God. The topics in these books cover issues of how God
    wants his people to live and the hope of restoration for those who will
    return to God.

  • Episode 6: Navigating the Bible Content and Message Part 4.
    This episode focuses on learning the 5 major prophetic books in the Old
    Testament which are an important part of God’s Holy Word which we call the
    Bible. These 5 books are Isaiah, Jeremiah, Lamentations, Ezekiel, and
    Daniel. God entered into a covenant with Israel that he would be their God
    and they would be his people. However, God had serious problems with how
    they were living. We may be tempted to think our live will always be sure
    and happy and that God will not let bad things happen in our life. We may
    tend to forget that God considers sin to be serious and that he will bring
    judgment for disobedience. We may not want to hear God’s truth or may be
    too busy to hear God’s truth. We may not find that much harm in disobeying
    God. We may falsely believe that if we just go to church and worship God
    that he will overlook us living a sinful life. But God is not that way. In
    these prophetic books God’s people were severely punished and severely
    suffered because of their rebellion against God. Yet these books give us
    hope that if we are sorry and return to God before it is too late then God
    will forgive us.
