Do You Want to Understand the Bible?
"One of the amazing elements of Holy Land travel is that you are seeing the entire spectrum of Old Testament events all at once. Many sites have witnessed everything from Abraham through Christ and up to the present. So, for most believers, this is bewildering. Through a few very easy memory devices we can grasp the flow and key events of the Old Testament events and how the 39 Books fit into that flow of history and tie together with the Land itself. This is like a Jet Tour of the Old Testament in a time machine. This class will change how you look at your Bible. As a student of God's Word for over 40 years, there is one simple question that fills my heart and mind as I read the Bible, “What does this passage mean?” Bible teachers are called to explain the Bible, to help people understand what the Bible means, and how it fits together into one powerful message from God to us. The only way to apply God's Word correctly is to understand first what God has said, what He meant, and then what response He desires from us. That is why we have started a monthly study of the elements of Biblical Interpretation. Someone long ago told me that my job as a Bible Expositor was to build a bridge that transported people from where live in the present, back to what God said and did in the historic context of His Word: and then to bring them back into their daily lives understanding what God expected from them. To build that bridge we must realize that there is a gap between us and them." from video introduction
