The Land and the Book

In the Old Testament, Jericho's walls came tumbling down. But in the New Testament, the taxes were plenty high. Making sure that you paid your fair share—and then some—was a tax collector named Zacchaeus. What do we actually know about this man—and what can we take away from his story for our own journey? That's where we're headed this week on The Land and the Book.

It was the deadliest day in Jewish history since the Holocaust: October 7, 2023. What were the highest hopes for Hamas? What would have made that day a “Perfect Ten” for them? And what do we need to know about the ideological mindset of terrorists LIKE them? These are questions we’ll explore this week with Justin Kron on The Land and the Book. Prepare to be shocked, as you join the conversation.

Eden, Sinai, Tabor, and Zion. In the Bible, these four mountain-top encounters with God unify the Bible's grand story. When you and I read Scripture with attentiveness to symbols and images—such as mountains—the Bible's overarching story emerges. Better yet, we encounter God Himself in His Word. This week on The Land and the Book, we’ll hike up all four mountains. Plus, we’ll answer your Bible questions, bring you the headlines from the Middle East—all on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s one thing to read about Bible History…but it’s another to live it. How do you do that? This week on The Land and the Book, we'll take a tour of the Biblical History Center! You'll stand in a tent made of goat and camel hair. Examine a coin with Pontius Pilate's name on it--and walk through a home like biblical characters lived in. Hint: it's mighty small.

It's incredible how many people happily agree that Jesus was a great teacher. Or a great miracle worker. Or a great moral example. But when you tell them Jesus claimed to be God, the conversation often turns icy. So, did Jesus really make that claim? Spoiler alert: Yes! Join us for the proof this week on The Land and the Book.

The Bible commands every believer to make disciples. And making disciples begins with people who don’tknow the Savior. But what do you do when your Jewish friend wants nothing to do with Christ? How do you navigate that relationship? This week on The Land and the Book, we’ll look at what to do “When Your Jewish Friend Wants Nothing to Do with Jesus.”  Plus, you’ll hear all the top stories of the Middle East—from a biblical perspective—on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Suffering. It's the thing we run from--the thing we dread. But we're not alone. And we're not the first. Many of the Bible names you know and love faced suffering of all kinds. What lessons did they learn? What wisdom did they leave for us in Scripture? This week on The Land and the Book, our special guest is Joni Tada. You’ll be encouraged as we explore suffering in Scripture—and suffering in YOUR life.

Consider the biblical city of Shiloh—Israel's first religious capital. It was here that Hanna dedicated her son, Samuel. In Shiloh, the Tabernacle and Ark of the Covenant were kept for many years.

Civil war in Syria. More than half a million Syrians are dead, and 55 thousand of those are children. Half of Syria's population is now uprooted from their homes. And 5.5 million have fled to neighboring countries. But some courageous Christians are shining bright lights for Christ in Syria. Their stories are amazing—and we’ll hear them this week on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Throughout history, when nations have turned from God, He has raised men to try to bring them back. The Prophets of the Old Testament, the Apostles of the New Testament, and ultimately Jesus—all performed this role. These men are the Tough Guys of the Bible. Where did they get their courage? What are their secrets? What can we learn from them to become tougher?

Remember the October 7 attack on Israel? In the three months following, anti-Semitic attacks in America shot up 361%. And the hits—literally—keep on coming. In the United States, 70% of Jewish college students have either experienced or witnessed antisemitism. It's as if someone gave permission to beat up Jewish people.

When you and I hear the word risk, we usually think about the stock market. Or maybe the risk involved with a job transfer. But Christ-followers in Iran understand that word very differently. Just to speak the name of Jesus is dangerous there. But this week on The Land and the Book, you’ll hear stories that will amaze, encourage and inspire.

His friend, Max, was hit and on the ground. But when Michael tried to assist, he was assaulted, as well, to the point someone broke his wrist. What fueled this attack? A hatred for Jewish people.

The Bible contains more than 2,300 references to money and possessions. Why? Because we tend to idolize them. So, how can we tear this idol down?
