In this week’s class we are concluding our topic of Religious Pluralism and reviewing our study in the book of Genesis, chapters 37-38 by looking at an introduction to Joseph and Judah. We will then take a few weeks off before beginning a summer class that will continue our study in Christian Apologetics, making a case for the Old Testament, and Bible study that will look into the time period from Joseph to Moses. This is an important era in Christian history because it is a time period that is often attacked by skeptics and scoffers of our faith and it is important to know that we can answer questions, and provide evidence for the truth of the Biblical record.

Each week’s class includes prayer, an “apologetics” presentation, a review of last week’s Bible study, and a homework assignment. You can also make observations or ask questions in the comment section below.

Watch this week’s class presentation on this topic:

2023 A Case for the Old Testament, The History Continues…

Religious Pluralism, Conclusion

Prayer

1.  Write out your prayer cards and exchange them at the end of the class.

2.  Memory Verse:

“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me; and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.”

John 5:39-40 (NASB)

Religious Pluralism, some final thoughts

As we conclude this study I want to recommend a few people who are taking this topic head-on with spot on answers for cultural issues that Christians are faced with today, both inside and outside of the Church. Check out these short videos by Alisa Childers and J. Warner Wallace (who is being interview by Melissa Dougherty).

Each week we will have Bible study following the presentation. There will be questions presented here on the weekend, and basic answers will be part of the next presentation or posted mid-week for your review, depending on the topic. This can also be used to make a leader’s guide for your own small group and future studies!

Note: This week is a final review only

Always remember to pray before you study and ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and lead you into the truth found in God’s Word – pray for protection from the evil one who will try to discourage, distract and deceive us when we commit to growing closer to the LORD.

You will not find this material in the public school curriculum even though it is based on solid evidence and grounded in research. It is ironic that following the evidence to where it leads stops at the door of our public schools as they will not let a “Divine footprint” in!  Join us as we examine evidence for Christianity and learn how to become a thoughtful defender and ambassador of your faith.
