In addition to the Phoenicians, the Philistines were a seagoing people that influenced the tribe of Dan.  Archaeology and DNA confirm that the Philistines were descendants of people who had lived on Crete.  A closer look at Greek mythology shows vestigial remnants of actual historical events and peo...

There is evidence that Dan and other tribes learned seafaring and other skills from the Phoenicians.  The Phoenicians were descendants of Ham who lived on the coast of the Holy Land and who sailed to man...

As an introduction to the tribe of Dan, we begin by building a profile.  Combining the Biblical record with history and archaeology, we can glean insight into their character, their habits, where they went, and the peoples and cultures they picked up alo...

God promised Abraham that his seed would be as vast as the stars and the sand, and an examination of history shows this to be true. God is always true to His word. When we examine India's history, we see that the people who settled in India had ties to Israel, and even spread into China. VF-2254

There is ample archaeological and genetic evidence to confirm what became of the tribes of the Northern Kingdom after they were deported by the Assyrians.  As nomads, they were broadly known as Scythians, and they spread continuously over a large area.  These many nations would eventually become hera...

When God led His people into the Promised Land, He told them to drive out the enemies that dwelt there; but they failed to do so.  The enemies turned God's people away from Him, and God did to His people what He had planned to do to their enemies.  Some tribes were greatly diminished even before the...

God made an everlasting covenant with Abraham. He blessed him and gave him the promise of land and seed, which would go on to become a great nation. Abraham passes on his possessions and all of these promises as an inheritance to his son Isaac, and Isaac to his son Jacob/Israel. But after Jaco...

God said to the children of Israel that He would not utterly destroy them nor cut them off completely. There is prophetic significance in the blessings that were given to Jacob/ Israel's sons. As we trace the history of God's people, we find that God is faithful to His word.  VF-2350

It is important to establish certain terms when studying biblical genealogies, beginning with the descendants of Noah all the way to Christ.  God's word of promise is specifically focused on certain family lines and many of the terms to describe them have been homogenized and confused.  Understanding...

Countless individuals have postulated that the Biblical record of the exodus of the children of Israel could not have occurred, therefore completely discounting most of the ancient record.  The problem is that there's an abundant amount of evidence: historical, archaeological and many infallible proofs, that demand to be looked at; enough...

This is the companion message to The Ten Commandments: Like It or Not.  It's important for Christians to learn how to understand the Old Testament law so we don't get sucked into thinking we should be performing it.  Under the law, God demanded righteousness from people. Read more

It's very important to study the Ten Commandments, not as a list of rules to follow, but as a revelation of God's divine character and nature to a people He chose to save.  Through them, God was sending a very clear message: this is how you're going to relate to Me and to one another.  They are not ...

God chose the children of Israel, and He gave them instructions for how to relate to Him and to their fellow man.  He intended them to be custodians of His word and to spread it across the face of the earth, but they did not obey Him, so He turned to the Gentiles.  Now He has set us apart to keep th...

There is a clear distinction between "Israelites" and "Hebrews" in the Bible and secular writings from antiquity.  It's a mistake to homogenize the two.  It's also a mistake to extrapolate from the Exodus passages that either Hebrews or Israelites were practicing Judaism at this time. Read more

The children of Israel were attacked by Amalek for seemingly no reason. This was their first challenge from an outside force.  They prevailed against Amalek by the faith of their leader Moses who interceded on their behalf, raising his hands to the throne of God with Aaron and Hur holding up his arms whenever he tired.

We need to be very careful to see ourselves in the pages of Exodus because they contain lessons about mistakes before God.  Constant grumbling, complaining, and putting God on trial were things that greatly angered God and caused the children of Israel to miss the Promised Land.  How much more for u...

We ought to look back at all the ways the Lord has delivered us and guided us.  He has been with us every step of the way, as He was with the children of Israel in the wilderness.  He provided for them with manna from Heaven every day.  Today He has provided f...

Teaching from Jeremiah showing God's divine delight, His disgust and distress with His people, and the application to the modern church. Begin taking the steps back, acknowledge your guilt before God, turn back to Him. The message is the same: God's grace to an unfaithful people, His call of repentance and the promise, partake of the living waters and you'll never thirst again.<...

    Are You A Charlotte?

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
