Week 33 – 7/5/26 – Jesus defeating the other gods

This week, we discussed one of the things that Jesus was doing in His life, ministry, death and resurrection, which is defeating the other gods of the world. Early in the series we discussed the problems of Genesis 3, 6, and 11. In this lesson, we discuss how Jesus is undoing these problems and how the other gods of the nations are being overthrown. Below are a couple more resources that discuss this further. Enjoy.

Week 32 – 6/28/26 – Jesus as the Messiah

This week we discussed how Jesus functioned as the Messiah. This is a word that many of us are familiar with, but may not completely understand in it’s context. In this lesson we discuss specifically what that means, and we talk about how Jesus fit the role of not only A Messiah, but THE Messiah that was prophesied about in the Old Testament. Below are some resources that go deeper into this Messianic concept. Enjoy.

Week 31 – 6/14/26 – Jesus as the Second Power in Heaven

This week we transitioned over into the New Testament. In this lesson, we briefly discussed how Jesus life and ministry is addressing issues that we saw in the Old Testament and tackling them head on. The writers of the Gospel’s are not only telling the story of Jesus, but they’re also writing the story in a way to make a theological point and show just who Jesus is. Piggybacking off of last week’s lesson about the Jewish doctrine of two powers in heaven, we then discussed how Jesus was explicitly referencing Himself as that second power, the visible Yahweh, the Son of Man in the vision of Daniel 7. Below you’ll find some more resources that go much deeper into all of this. Enjoy.
