Religion had stifled faith in God within the nation of Israel, but the need for hope would be met in Jesus. The Son of God claimed to be able to generate resurrection life by His spoken Word. His own resurrection authenticated His message as true, and is the guarantee of the greater harvest yet to come. Jesus is the answer to death and eternal separation from God. Will you take part in the resurrection unto life or the resurrection unto condemnation? Bible Teacher Mark Fontecchio takes us on a journey to unleash the powerful teaching set forth in John 5:25-30.

The name of Jesus is enough to bring worldwide division. Many people hate Him, deny His existence, or suggest that He never claimed to be God. This type of division and hatred is not new. The pages of the New Testament reveal that the Messiah of Israel had created a direct conflict with the Jewish men of religion. Like many today, their understanding of the Son was insufficient. Jesus was claiming to be God, and He was claiming to be equal to the Father. Our response to His claims determines whether He will be our Savior or our Judge.

The Jewish people haven’t been strangers to persecution.

Daniel had prayed for his people, but the answer to his prayer was completely unexpected. God chose to reveal to the seasoned prophet His plan for the nation of Israel. The Hebrew people would certainly be allowed to return to their land, but this was just the beginning. God would also deliver the people from the bondage of sin and usher in everlasting righteousness. Release from the oppression of men would await the Second Coming of Christ. Daniel 9:20-24 is a foundational text in understanding God’s program for the end times and the nation of Israel.

The Apostle Paul and his team had been forced to leave the new Christians at Thessalonica behind. The door had now been opened for false accusations to be made. What were the true motives behind these men that had come to town? Were they simply after money? Were they being deceptive? Why did they leave so unexpectedly? This was more than a battle for Paul’s reputation. The Gospel of Jesus Christ was on the line. The work of Christ was under attack. With a stunning testimony Paul revealed his heart and his motives to the Christians he so dearly loved. We are left with a revealing testimony of a man approved by God. The lessons stand throughout the ages as a living example for all those called to serve the Lord Jesus Christ. Study 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12 with Bible Teacher Mark Fontecchio.

He had created a stir in Israel like few in recent history. His message was uncompromising and bold. For those that followed him, there was little doubt that John had been sent by God. Why were others turning to follow another? This seemed unimaginable. What could it mean for the ministry of this great prophet of God? Wrapped up in this first century controversy is a battle that rages on today. At the center of it is the pride that lies within each of us. The remedy is simple faith and submission to the role that God has for us. Christ must increase. Learn the lessons of John 3 with Bible Teacher Mark Fontecchio.

The greatest summary of God’s love that could ever be written is contained in the words of John 3:16. These are also some of the most well-known words from the entire Bible, but this doesn’t mean that most people know of His love.

The tribes of Israel stood guilty before their God. Daniel knew from the Law of Moses that God had kept His Word. Daniel didn’t blame God. Instead, he prayerfully confessed the righteousness of God. Daniel considered it more important for God to uphold His Word than it was for God’s people to escape the consequences of their sin. The Hebrew people had spurned the grace and mercy of God. Remarkably, it was that same mercy and grace that Daniel appealed to on behalf of his people. Prayer works when it gives us a greater sense of the majesty and glory of God.

The Temple of God had become a barnyard. Those entrusted with its care stood guilty of fleecing the people. The religious authorities were not prepared for the Son of God to show up.

His disciples had their faith strengthened years later as they would look back at this event. People also came to faith in the Messiah of Israel.

The stunning prophecy of God that came through Jeremiah revealed that Israel would be in captivity for a period of seventy years. The Prophet Jeremiah had been hauled off to Egypt. Somehow, the record of the prophecy had made its way from Egypt to Babylon. With the fall of Babylon and the rise of the Medo-Persian Empire, Daniel prayerfully studied the words of Jeremiah and came to the conclusion that the time of captivity was almost over. This became the fuel for one of the longest prayers recorded in the Word of God.
