The Creation: Something from Nothing
How did the cosmos come into existence? To address that question, we must first determine if there is a God. Today, people often claim to believe in science and therefore, cannot believe in a God. However, the field of science can hardly declare with certainty that there is no God. But logic can be utilized to find a conclusion. As we embark on this series, we ask that you come to it with an open mind. If there is an Almighty God, an Intelligent Designer, He would exist beyond the laws and realm of science – in fact, He would ha...

Ask Michael: If I Become a Christian, Will My Life be Easier?
Some people are drawn to Christianity thinking being a Christian will somehow make their lives easier. They base their claim on the passage found in Ezekiel 34:26 where the Lord states that He will shower them with blessings. We know that God does enjoy pouring blessings over His children, so, will our lives indeed be easier if we follow Christ? In today’s episode, Michael examines the life of Paul, other Scriptures, and what became of Jesus’ disciples to find our answer.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/<p...

Ask Michael: Why Were the Tombs Opened and the Dead Came Out?
In Matthew 27, we read about tombs opening and the dead coming to life after the death and resurrection of Jesus. However, Matthew is the only of the four Gospels to record this miraculous event. So, is it likely that this event never even happened? Aren’t all the Gospels supposed to be alike? Or could the Gospels serve a different purpose? Did this miracle in Matthew have a specific meaning?

Ask Michael: Why Did Jesus Feed the 5,000 & 4,000?
Why did Jesus feed the 5,000 at one time and the 4,000 at another time? Why does it seem as though this miracle happens twice? Was it simply to impress the crowds gathered there, or was Jesus offering a message through this miraculous event? Could it possibly involve Jews versus Gentiles?

The Temple Mount Project: Herod's Temple Part Two
As we studied last week, Herod remodeled and expanded Zerubbabel’s Temple into the largest and most elaborate temple in the surrounding area. While we don’t know exactly what the temple looked like, we can form an idea based off four sources: historical records, other architectural structures built by Herod, buildings from that same period, and the archaeological evidence that they are finding on the Temple Mount. As we conclude this series, today we look closely at some of the archaeological discoveries that they are uncovering and what this tells us not only about history, but also the Bibl...

The Sword: A Biblical Perspective of Marriage
Just like a sword is most effective when wielded by two hands, our marriages are strongest when husband and wife work together with God as their center. Marriage is not easy, especially in our current society, and we must work at it each day. Today, Michael uses the example of a sword to teach us important lessons to keep our marriages strong and pointed towards our Lord. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org...

Ask Michael: Are We to be Silent or Are We to Fight?
It would appear there is a contradiction in the Bible since in one passage it says to be still and God will fight for us, but then there is another passage where we are told to put on the “Armor of God.” So, which is true? Are we to be silent and still and let God do the work? Or are we to put on our armor and go to war? Is this truly a contradiction? To find the answer, it is important to look at the context of these two passages, and Michael will guide us through that in t...

The Gospel of John Lesson 45: The First Trial of Jesus - 5:30-47
Today, we find Jesus standing before the Jewish leaders in what appears to be a trial as He defends Himself against their claims of breaking the Sabbath and committing blasphemy. As with their traditions concerning the Law, and as we can see is recorded in Deuteronomy, a legal case must have at least two to three witnesses present during a trial. Jesus supplies five. Tune into find out who those witnesses are. With the conclusion of chapter 5, we will be taking a break from this series to produce other content. But please stay tuned for when we resume it!<...

The Temple Mount Project: Herod's Temple
As we covered in the last lesson, Zerubbabel’s Temple, or the Second Temple as it is sometimes called, was finished in 516 BC. But after the Romans conquered Jerusalem, Herod the Great decided to completely refurbish it and enlarge it to be one of the most beautiful and largest Temples in the entire Roman Empire. Is there anything that we can find in archaeology today that supports the existence of Herod’s Temple?

Ask Michael: Isn't the Bible Wrong About the Size of a Mustard Seed?
Was Jesus incorrect when He was sharing the Parable of the Mustard Seed that is recorded in Matthew 13:31-32? He claims that the mustard seed is the smallest of all the seeds and that it will grow into a tree that is larger than all the plants. But though the seed is indeed quite small, it will only grow to a tree about eight feet tall. Is this an error in the Bible? Or is there a reasonable explanation as to why Jesus said this?

The Gospel of John Lesson 44: The Four Resurrections - 5:24-29
In today’s passage Jesus references four resurrections that will occur: the spiritual resurrection of lost sinners, the physical resurrection of Himself, and the final resurrections of the saved and unsaved. Have you been raised from death to life? Where will you stand in the final resurrection – with the saved or the condemned? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.org<p...

Ask Michael: Is the Ethiopian Bible Really the Only Complete & True Bible?
Is the Ethiopian Bible the only truly accurate and complete Bible? Are all the other Bibles missing important books or even cropped to fit specific denominations? The Ethiopian Bible contains 90 books while the Protestant Bible has 66. Which is correct? To find the answer, Michael investigates the history of the Ethiopian Bible and considers whether these Scriptures are indeed God-inspired.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave...

The Gospel of John Lesson 43: The Judge - 5:22-24
As we have been studying chapter 5, it is becoming quite clear that Jesus was stating that He and the Father are equal – they are of one mind, have perfect harmony, and are of the same essence. In today’s passage, we read that Jesus states that He is the Judge, and as we know from Genesis and Psalms, God is the Judge of the earth. So once again, Jesus points out His equality with the Father and that they both shall receive honor. But Jesus also gives us a beautiful promise and a pardon from our judgement. Listen now!<p...

The Temple Mount Project: The Persian Period & Zerubbabel's Second Temple
In our last episode, we focused on the time of Solomon’s Temple, however that temple met its destruction in 586 BC when the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar destroyed it. Today, we will uncover the history in the 566-year period between its destruction and the rebuilding of the Temple by Herod the Great. And as we travel back in time, are there any artifacts that have been found that support all the historical events that took place?

Ask Michael: If a Christian Gets Sick, Is it Due to an Unconfessed Sin?
A lot of Christians believe that every illness is due to some uncommitted sin in one’s life and God will not heal them until they have confessed that sin. Is this true? There are two passages in the Bible that seems to support this belief. In this episode, Michael looks at the original language of these passages to find the answer.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Fa...

The Gospel of John Lesson 42: The Authority of the Son - 5:19-21
Jesus was not just a wise teacher or a prophet, He was, and is, the Son of God. In today’s passage we see Jesus defending this claim. His equality with God is equal in person, works, and even power to raise people from the dead. He can do all things that the Father can do and cannot do what the Father cannot do – sin. God, and therefore Jesus, cannot do anything that would go against their character of being pure and holy.

The Temple Mount Project: The First Temple Period
In this week’s episode, we travel back to the time of the 10th Century BC, when Solomon’s Temple was constructed and stood as a holy place for the Jewish people. Some critics believe that the Jews never had a temple in Jerusalem, but what has been discovered by the Temple Mount Sifting Project contradicts that claim and supports what we read in the Bible. Today, we explore some of the ancient artifacts that have been found there and their significance to the period of the Temple.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/<p...

Ask Michael: If the Ancient Manuscripts Contradict Each Other, Why Should We Trust Them?
Some people struggle with the accuracy of the New Testament, while some don’t believe it at all and treat it like another ancient mythological tale. Others like some parts of it, while disliking other parts. And some believe that it is not trustworthy due to all the supposed contradictions that we find in the ancient manuscripts. They state that since all the copies don’t align word for word, they are not to be trusted at all. Do the ancient manuscripts contradict one another? Are there discrepancies between them? And do the original manuscripts still exist? Tune in to f...

The Gospel of John Lesson 41: Equal with God - 5:16-18
Many critics say that Jesus never claimed to be God, but in today’s passage, He does indeed make that claim. Jesus is equal to God and He is the Son of God. We know this to be true by observing the reaction of the Jewish leaders and Jesus’ disciples and by studying the meaning of the ancient Eastern language. In fact, it was this claim that led to Jesus being murdered. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOK...
