Rather than taking dramatic license to conform scripture to the traditional Christmas story, we would like to look at scripture to get a more literal account of this inspired event. The bottom line is the birth of our Savior, but the Holy Spirit doesn’t squander the words He inspired, so it’s helpful to consider them carefully. God orchestrated this event to take place in the “fullness of time.” What was it about this time that made it “full” and what were some historical events that support this? Was Jesus born in a barn? Was he wrapped in grave clothes? What is in Joseph’s genealogy that prevents him from being Jesus’ father? How old was Jesus when the magi brought gifts? Hear the Christmas story as scripture reveals it. Learn interesting facts surrounding the birth of Jesus and how some may differ from the traditional celebration we have come to accept.

The Lord's Table was not something new, but a ritual which grew out of the Passover Seder, the meal Jesus had with his disciples, the night before He went to the cross–The Last Supper. In this lesson you will see a visual demonstration of a Jewish Seder and see how it visually depicts the person and work of the Lord Jesus Christ and how the elements of the meal impact our understanding of the Last Supper of Christ. The emphasis of the Seder is sacrifice, a death required for sin.

As our nation commemorates the tenth anniversary of 9-11, we take a look at the religion that justifies that type of attack, followed by a very in-depth study of the history and influences that framed our Constitution. This special lesson is one every believer and lover of our country needs to listen to.
