In this time leading up to Christ's crucifixion on the cross, we find Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane praying to His Father to take the burden of His sacrifice that is to happen. Yet at the same time, Christ knows that His death is His Father's will and that it must be done. Christ died for everyone so that those who believe can have their sins forgiven and be saved.
Moses and Aaron were fearless leaders in the wilderness. Even though God provided, the people continuously complained. God provided again, and they people complained again. Over and over this repeated. God was angered, and introduced snakes into their midst to test their faith. Does this sound like what is happening today? God continually blesses us, yet we fail to see His love and provisions. Since the fall of mankind, humans have been slaves to sin. Only Jesus can save us.
See how God uses average people to do His miraculous work. In Exodus, Moses thought he was unskilled and unprepared to do God's work, yet God proved him wrong. In John 2, Jesus performs a miracle by changing water to wine. Jesus taught us to believe that nothing is impossible with God, and that we are to follow His commandments.
God's covenants to make Abraham the heir of the world is explained. Doing the impossible is very possible for God as he made nations from unlikely elderly people.
Jesus conquers temptation in the 40 days of wilderness. Christ teaches us through wilderness and tough times, we learn to overcome temptation by seeking God. The wilderness is the start of the Lent season leading us to Easter.
In the New Testament, Transfiguration is when Jesus Christ took three of his disciples, Peter, James, and John, up on a mountain, where Moses and Elijah appeared and Jesus was transfigured. His face and clothes became dazzlingly bright. The Transfiguration is a preview of the future when the Son of Man will come in glory to consummate his kingdom.
The 12 sons of Jacob were the patriarchs of the tribes that formed their descendants which are called "Israelites" and "Hebrews". Hear how God deals with a wicked and murderous king of Egypt who tried to stop the Israelite nation from growing.
The good Samaritan parable is explained by the great commandments of Love Your God and Love Your Neighbour. But who is our neighbour?
When Jesus asked the disciples to follow Him, they left their jobs as fishermen and changed their lives. Hear how we are also to follow Jesus with faith and determination.
Discover how God can call us to many different things, often what we are not expecting. See how Samuel responded to God's call. As followers of Christ, we should listen to God for his call to service.
