Description
'Foundations' is about filling in the gaps with the information most people miss or are unaware of. The truth is that over time words, definitions and culture changes in dramatic ways and applying present day understanding and meanings to words, phrases and events, can lead to very different conclusions. By learning about the Jewish and Hebrew culture that the Bible was set in and the environment, traditions and understandings of the people whom God chose to write down His Word, we can gain a bigger, deeper and richer understanding of God's Word that we love so much.

After God gave His Law to Moses on Mt Sinai, it became apparent very quickly that it was almost impossible for His people to keep it. And yet, the Law was important to reveal the standards of God, and what His expectations were. That's the topic of discussion on Foundations.

Christians tend to look down their noses at the Law given to Moses, as though the Law is a terrible thing. However, Paul said that the Law is Holy, it was given by God for a purpose. That's going to be our focus for a few days on Foundations.

We've been learning some safe boundaries for ourselves when it comes to studying future prophecy to be fulfilled, we'll wrap that conversation up on Foundations.

Bible prophecy is fascinating, especially speculating on what might happen in the future. This is why fortune tellers and clairvoyants are so popular! Bible prophecy buffs can be just as excitable, but there are some important things to remember and understand when studying Bible prophecy and that's what we're going to start talking about on Foundations.

Thorns will be out conversation topic today on Foundations. We think of thorns and simply think of the torturous mocking crown that was pushed onto Jesus head when He was crucified. But the thorns represent so much more.

We're continuing our conversation on Foundations today about whether Jesus lost His cool when He drove people out of the Temple, or cursed a poor fig tree for not having any fruit when it wasn't fig season.

Reading the New Covenant (or the Old) without context or having even a light understanding of the culture of the time, can leave you scratching your head over some of the things people did. Some people feel that way about Jesus as well. He was so loving and gracious and forgiving, and then He seeming get angry with a fig tree and curse it, or make a whip and drive people out of the Temple. Why did He do that? Was He in control, or did He completely lose control? That's the focus on Foundations.

It's easy to think that the men of the Bible must have been paragons of virtue and perfection, but when we read the Bible we quickly discover that nothing could be further from the truth. Many of the men God used for His purposes were terrible???and yet God used them in spite of them. Even Moses had a skeleton in his family closet. That's out topic today on Foundations.

On Foundations today we'll look at a parable that seems to indicate that when we pray, we should repeat ourselves. Why would God require us to repeat our prayers to Him? He doesn't have a bad memory?

We'll finish our conversation today on Foundations about the Trinity, probably still agreeing that it's a mystery, but maybe not quite so impossible to understand.

We're going to continue our conversation about the Trinity, because it's important to understand because the Bible speaks about it. It's a mystery to be sure, but then if God was easy to understand, He wouldn't be God.

The concept of the Trinity has created headaches for people for millennia. It's very hard to understand, and yet, it's clearly evident in Scripture. We're going to tackle this mystery to see if we can find some understanding.

We continue our conversation today on Foundations about the importance of the Old Covenant, that's it's not obsolete and in fact is necessary to properly understand the New Covenant. Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Sadly, there's a prevailing belief within Christendom that the Old Covenant is obsolete and therefore, we don't need to know it or read it anymore; that's it's no longer relevant? We'll challenge that view today on Foundations.
