Of the thousands of books about the life of Jesus of Nazareth, most tell us what the faithful believe about him...or more accurately, what they've been told to believe he said, did and what it means! What, however, can be said about the real-life Jesus? Is the story of Jesus just a legend, or did he actually walk the shores of Galilee? Did Jesus actually say what's in the New Testament Gospels, or are all the words there merely attributed to him? And does anything purported to be his message, his Good News, have any relevance to the people of the 21st Century?

Christ never actually told us how to "do church". Yes, he had a lot to say about the church, but what he did say was mostly unrelated to stylistic issues or contextual trends. He never spoke about its leadership hierarchies or the pros and cons of denominational fellowships or the types of music. And yet, much of our time and energy as leaders and shepherds is consumed by chasing after tips, tricks, and secrets to "grow" churches.

When reading the Bible we often miss essential details that add richness and significance, and therefore don't grasp the bigger picture. New York Times bestselling author Rabbi Jason, in his unique and engaging way, helps us see God's story in high definition, enabling them to better understand the cultural and historical background of Scripture, God's intention for every detail, and how it applies to our lives.

Jesus’ parables. They are widely known–or at least often referenced. But does that mean they are well understood? Having slipped into the lingua franca of our day, we could be missing some of what He was communicating. If familiarity breeds contempt, perhaps our sense that we know these stories insulates us from what Jesus was saying about life with God.

What would you think of one who should build a beautiful house and then destroy it, or paint a lovely picture and then tear it to pieces? Have you never thought that this is the way God is doing? He makes, to destroy. Nothing seems to long remain the same. He clothes the trees with leaves, but within a few months strips them off. He makes the tiny bud and develops it into the beautiful flower, but the flower is no sooner in bloom than it begins to wither and fade. It seems to be so with everything in nature. It starts out, grows in beauty, and then is destroyed. Why should such loveliness ...

In many ways, the story of Job is the story of every person, because no matter who we are, at some time in life, we all suffer. The only thing that separates us is the degree of our suffering. In discussing the subject of suffering with a friend of mine, he said that for most people life’s flow is a constant series of struggles, punctuated by times of peace. I believe everyone, everywhere, at differing times of life, comes face-to-face with their own suffering. If you are not suffering now, you certainly will at some point in life, wouldn’t you like to be prepared? If your answer is yes...

The Walk That Changed Everything As they make their way home, their hearts are broken. Everything they have patiently prayed for and hoped in has been crushed mercilessly before their eyes. Where faith once pulsed now only disappointment reigns.

Every day, we all make dozens of choices that are generally directed by our own gratification and rarely do we think twice about them. However, not all the choices that we make are trivial or lost in the memory of the past. Some choices we make effect not only us but other people as well.

Those kinds of choices are what this study in God’s Word is about, when the choices in life really matter. If you decide to do this study, you will find it is one choice in ...
