The Jewish identity and the practices of Judaism did not begin to emerge until after the return from the Babylonian captivity. Although the priesthood had maintained certain practices and preserved the Hebrew language, most of the population had forgotten those things. During this time, there were waves of religious zeal, but there was also disobedience. “The Emergence of Judaism” Study Notes VF-2421 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's are available.

The church needs to make a clear distinction between the law and grace, because the law imprisons; grace sets you free. As Christians, we are no longer under the law, but under grace. “The Law Imprisons; Grace Sets You Free” Study Notes VF-2414 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's are available.

The practices and identity of the Jewish people began to crystallize after their return from exile in Babylon. They began to strictly enforce the law and to separate themselves from the ways of the foreigners who ruled over them. This period also saw the addition of new laws and holidays, which the Jewish people strictly adhered to. They developed a national spirit and fought to protect their religion. “The Crystallization of the Newfound Faith” Study Notes VF-2422 Some Materials Referenced i...

The thousand-year period after the Great Tribulation will be a foretaste of eternity. The saints of all ages will be resurrected, and Christ will dwell among us and reign in Jerusalem. Eight items that were in the tabernacle and the former temple will be missing from the final temple described by Ezekiel, because they will be fulfilled by Christ. Until that time, we are to stay the course and keep the faith in anticipation of His return. “Christ in Ezekiel’s Temple” Study Notes VF-2404 Some M...

Too many people in the pulpit are teaching everything other than the gospel of Jesus Christ, including things that do not belong in the church. A minister is supposed to teach and correct the people in meekness; not in weakness, but in full strength, yet paradoxically gentle. By chastening people who resist and are opposed to the gospel, proper teaching can bring about repentance and free them from the snare of the devil unto the knowledge of the truth rooted in Christ. “In Meekness, Teach th...

Using both biblical and secular records, we can establish a timeline for the exodus out of Egypt. The people traditionally referred to as “Jews” were not Jews at the time of the exodus; they would have been known as “Hebrews” or as “the children of Israel.” Understanding this will help us clear up any cultural confusion about these people. “Were There ‘Jews’ in Egypt at the Time of the Exodus?” Study Notes VF-2418 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's are available.

Many people are confused about the terms “Hebrew,” “Semitic,” and “Jewish,” and about the origins of Judaism. Judaism is a much younger religion than most people think. It began after people from the Southern Kingdom returned from the Babylonian captivity. God’s people did not always have the same religious practices. Who is who, and who the land of Israel belongs to, is more complicated than we might think. “Unfolding the History of Judaism” Study Notes VF-2416 Some Materials Referenced in t...

Although evil can be blatant, it is often very subtle. The Bible provides many examples in the Old and New Testaments to help us to recognize evil when we encounter it. Christ’s response to the temptation from the devil is the example to follow; we are to fight evil with the word of God. His power is greater than any other power that comes against us. “God Is Greater Than Any Evil That Comes Your Way” Study Notes VF-2407 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's are avail...

If people are not studying the word of God, they can easily be deceived. There are many man-made dogmas in the church, but they have no basis in Scripture. The church needs to teach people what is in God’s book. “God Doesn’t Come from Dogma” Study Notes VF-2409 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's are available.

Partaking of Communion began as an act of remembrance, recognizing the finished work of Christ at the cross and looking to His future return. It had nothing to do with confessing your sins, being confirmed in the faith, or being worthy to partake. We are all unworthy, but we are made worthy, not by any act we do, but by the blood of the Lamb. “Understanding Communion: Truth vs. Traditions” Study Notes VF-2412 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's are available.

God’s word makes it clear that what He wants from us is faith. We are not saved by doing good works. James is the only writer in the Bible who focuses on works. When we obediently follow the path that God has laid out for us, we become fruitful. That may look to some like good works, but we do not create them. Salvation comes from God alone. We make it into heaven by faith. “We Are Not Saved by Good Works” Study Notes VF-2413 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's are ...

God is not a killjoy. He wants all of His servants to have the unity and joy of a significant other. He instituted marriage. The church, specifically the Roman Catholic Church, has taken text out of context to mandate celibacy. God has never required celibacy.
