Ask Michael: Are the Days of Creation Really Millions of Years?
Many people, even some Christians and pastors, believe that the days of Creation, as recorded in Genesis, was not literal 24-hour days but instead epics or eras that were actually millions of years long. In fact, there appears to be some passages in the Bible that supports this theory. Could this be true? To disprove this hypothesis, Michael takes us back to the original language to show us that the Creation did indeed take place over a six-day period.

The Gospel of John Lesson 40: The Sabbath Breaker - 5:16-17
The past few lessons our studies have focused on the story of Jesus healing the lame man on the Sabbath, breaking the man-made laws of the Mishnah. In today’s passage, Jesus declares that God is always working and He Himself is God. God never ceases to work – He is constantly sustaining all of Creation. And so, if God doesn’t cease to work, then we can expect the same from Jesus, as He is indeed God. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl...

The Temple Mount Project Episode 2: Where Was the Temple?
Many critics state that there was never a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem, but archaeology has disproven that claim. Now the question is, where was the Temple located? The exact location of the Jewish Temple has been a subject of debate between many scholars. In today’s episode, Michael will reveal the four primary theories of where the Temple may have stood. Join us as we uncover this mystery of what may be the true location of the Temple by using evidence found in archaeology and history, along with what we read in Scriptures.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: ht...

Ask Michael: Can a Person Know God?
The existence of God is not in question, or our inability to fully comprehend Him, but can a person actually know God? Is it possible to know Him on a personal level and have a relationship with Him? And if so, how? In today’s episode, Michael will explain how you may indeed have a relationship with our Creator, and that is through the “love letters” God has given us.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://eviden...

The Gospel of John Lesson 39: Who is the Man? - 5: 12-15
At first, the once lame man from Bethesda did not know who it was that had healed him. When the Jews asked him, he could not give them a name. But then Jesus meets him once again and warns him of the consequences of continuing to sin. The man then returns to the authorities to tell the Jewish leaders it had been Jesus who had healed him. What caused the man to change his answer?

Temple Mount Project Episode 1: What is the Temple Mount Project?
Located in Jerusalem, the Temple Mount resides on what used to be known as Mount Moriah and over the years it has been a place of many historical events. Throughout history it has changed hands many times and today is a place of great importance to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. Due to all the history that is stored there, laws were put in place that banned any excavating from taking place at the site. But in 1999, an illegal excavation began which involved the careless removal of piles of dirt from under the Temple Mount. To preserve the relics that...

Ask Michael: Why Do Christians Ignore Many Commands in the Bible?
Why does it seem as though Christians hand pick certain commands and ignore others? Christians say to follow God’s Word but then they don’t follow their own example. Could it be that Christians are hypocrites? In this episode, Michael will address this question and give a simple explanation why some things in the Old Testament do not pertain to Christians today. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evid...

The Gospel of John Lesson 38: Why the Jews Hated Jesus - 5:9-11
Today’s passage marks a turning point and sets the tone for the rest of the Gospel account of John. From this point on, he will be explaining why the Jewish leaders hated Jesus. After healing the lame man by the pool, Jesus tells him to take up his bed and walk. According to the Law of the Pharisees, moving your mat was a disgrace and a sin against God and the Sabbath. Did Jesus have the man commit a crime? And what was the man’s response when the Pharisees questioned him? Did he defend Jesus and stand up f...

Artifact Facts: The Burial Cloth of Jesus Part Three: Scriptural Analysis
In the last episode, we studied the findings from a variety of tests that were done on the Shroud of Turin to determine its authenticity. Now today, we challenge it against the most important source, the Word of God. If it does not line up with the Bible, then we know it can not be accurate. And it would appear upon first look of the accounts of the burial of Jesus that there is indeed an error between the four Gospels. But let’s see what the original language has to say.

Ask Michael: Why Isn't the Book of Enoch in the Bible?
The Book of Enoch is gaining more and more popularity as people today are very intrigued by angels, demons, and the Nephilim, and Michael is often asked why this book is not included in Scriptures. Even Jude references the book of Enoch in his book. So, if it is referenced in the Bible, why is it not included?

The Gospel of John Lesson 37: The Third Sign - 5:3-9
At the time of Jesus, the pool of Bethesda was known as a place for invalids to gather, hoping to be healed by the supposed supernatural powers of the water. Here, Jesus finds a man who was lame for 38 years, and seemingly without hope. Out of the large crowd, Jesus seeks him out. Will Jesus answer the man’s plea to be taken to the water? And why does Jesus choose this man, who lacks all hope and faith?

Ask Michael: Is the Earth Flat?
Is our Earth flat or is it round? For centuries people have debated this subject. Some even say that the Bible supports the theory of a flat earth, referencing passages from Revelation, Jeremiah, and Isaiah where it mentions the “four corners of the earth.” So, is the earth indeed flat? Or is this an error in the Bible?

Artifact Facts: The Shroud of Turin Part One: The Image
The Shroud of Turin – the most intensively studied artifact of all time. This ancient linen cloth depicts the image of a man who we can visibly see was beaten, bore a crown of thorns, scourged, stabbed, and clearly crucified Roman style. Could this have possibly been the burial cloth of Jesus? Michael was skeptical and doubted the authenticity for years, but has further studying of the artifact changed his mind?

If the Romans were responsible for the persecution and death of so many early Christians, how can one say that this ancient empire helped Christianity to flourish? In this episode, Michael reminds us of God’s sovereignty and control over all things. And despite their persecution, God still used Rome to help the Good News of Jesus to spread to all nations. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------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 35: The Second Miracle - 4:46-54
In today’s lesson we meet the Roman official whose son is terminally ill. Desperate, the man asks Jesus to heal his boy but is instead softly rebuked by Jesus. The official’s faith was shallow and was dependent on witnessing Jesus perform a miracle. But Jesus asks us to have a deeper faith than that. As we study this encounter, we can take away four lessons learned from the Roman official and his encounter with Christ.

Artifact Facts: Broken Idols of Hazor
In Joshua 11, it is recorded that Joshua and the Israelites destroyed the city of Hazor, burning it to the ground. And according to the Law of Moses, they would have destroyed and burned all the pagan idols, not leaving one untouched. Now, the site of the ancient city has been excavated, and their findings have been remarkable. Amongst the old remains they found idols that had been smashed and clearly burned. It appears this lines up with what is written in the Bible.

Ask Michael: Why Was Moses Not Allowed to Go to the Promised Land?
As we read in Numbers 20, God punishes Moses for the sin he committed by stating that he would not be allowed to enter the Promised Land. Why was God so harsh with Moses? Hadn’t Moses done many things that pleased the Lord? Surely God could pardon this one sin. So why didn’t He? As Michael answers this question, we discover it doesn’t just lie in Moses’ disobedience, but in a prophecy relating to the coming Messiah. This prophecy is profound as it not only foretells of the death of Christ, but also His character and the pouring...

The Gospel of John Lesson 34: A Prophet Has No Honor - 4:43-45
Today’s passage appears to be a contradiction as Jesus claims that He will receive no honor in one verse, but in the next He does. Is this an error in the Bible? Michael will explore five different opinions he has heard as to what Jesus could be meaning here, and he will also share which one he believes is the most accurate. Perhaps it is not an error in the Scriptures, but in the translation itself.
