Aaron, the brother of Moses, stands as a prominent figure in the Biblical narrative of the Exodus, ordained by God as Israel’s first high priest. A descendant of the tribe of Levi, Aaron’s journey began not in the royal court like Moses, but among his enslaved kinsmen in Egypt, where he was known for his eloquence.

Bathsheba is one of the most prominent and complex female figures in the Old Testament, forever linked to the infamous Biblical narrative involving King David. Initially married to Uriah the Hittite, a loyal and honorable soldier, her story is one of desire, power, betrayal, and consequence found primarily in the books of 2 Samuel and 1 Kings.

Luke chapter 21 unfolds with Christ’s final teachings in Jerusalem, moving from a scene in the Temple to the panoramic prophecies of the Olivet Discourse concerning the Temple's imminent destruction and the signs of the end times. The audio intertwines two major prophetic horizons: the near future fall of Jerusalem and the far future second coming of Christ. This provides a powerful, multilayered message of faith, vigilance, and perseverance for the audience in the first century and for believers throughout history.

In the sweltering summer of 1874, the small town of Marshallville is a place where laughter echoes through sun-drenched fields, and the scent of blooming wildflowers fills the air. For three inseparable friends — an adventurous girl named Bobby, and her two friends, Jacob and Peter — summer represents freedom, exploration, and the thrill of childhood. But as the season approaches, an ominous shadow looms over their idyllic town.

It's easy to think of Santa Claus as just a jolly, plump man in a red suit, a cozy figure who perfectly sums up the magic of Christmas. But what if I told you that the story is a lot weirder and a lot older than you’ve been led to believe? Forget the North Pole for a minute, and picture something a bit more primal: a flying shaman on a mushroom fueled trip, a wild god leading a ghostly hunt through the winter sky, and ancient tree spirits honored long before Christianity came around.

Of all the traditions that define the holiday season, none is more iconic than the Christmas tree.

The wise men didn't arrive on a single starry night, in a stable bustling with shepherds. Their journey was a grueling, months-long quest across treacherous deserts and forbidding mountains, not a peaceful stroll to a manger. These were not gentle kings, but powerful, influential astrologers, so potent that their mere arrival in Jerusalem could send a paranoid king into a panic. They were men of power, science, and wealth, driven by an unshakeable conviction that a new king had been born, and they would stop at nothing to find him. Forget the gentle fable you know.

In his continuing journey, this man of faith finds himself on a very natural journey across his country to go to a place the Lord sends him to. Follow along on the next leg of the journey.

In 2 Samuel 23:20, we find a gripping and often-overlooked verse detailing one of King David's mighty men, Benaiah. As a celebrated warrior, he is remembered for three remarkable feats: slaying an Egyptian giant, killing a lion in a pit on a snowy day, and striking down "two lion-like men of Moab". While modern translations and scholars debate the exact meaning of these "lion-like men" (some suggest they were mighty warriors, others that they were mythological or monstrous beings), the deeper spiritual lessons remain clear.

The Moab Covenant can be found in Deuteronomy 28 and many believe it to be one of the most important covenants in the Bible. It lays out a series of future blessings and curses that would play a significant role in Israel’s history. Chapters 29 – 32 build upon the terms and conditions found in Chapter 28 and contain references to the timeframe when the curses will take place in the future. These chapters were so important, that God commanded them to be read in front of the congregation every seven years during the Feast of Tabernacles, as a continual reminder.

Revelation 1 serves as the powerful prologue to the Book of Revelation, framing it not as a puzzle, but as the direct revelation of Jesus Christ. Writing from his exile on the island of Patmos, the apostle John records his dramatic vision of the glorified and resurrected Christ, an awe-inspiring figure with eyes like blazing fire and a voice like rushing waters. The chapter emphasizes key themes of divine authority, as Jesus reveals himself as the Alpha and Omega, the one who holds the keys of Hell and death.

The life of Christ is the central focus of the entire New Testament. His birth was prophesied in the Old Testament, and those that knew of his coming patiently awaited his arrival. While not much is known about the early years of his life, we do have bits and pieces scattered throughout the gospels, that give us glimpses of what Christ’s life was like prior to him starting the ministry we are mostly familiar with from the latter part of his life.

The birth of Christ is possibly one of the most controversial sto-ries among believers. Was Mary really a virgin when she got pregnant or was Joseph the father? Did Christ fit the signs of the Messiah in the Old Testament or should we be looking for another? Only two of the four synoptic gospels go in depth about the birth and early years of Christ. As we read through the books of Matthew and Luke, we begin to get a clearer picture of the first twelve years of the life of Christ. Understanding those early years are vital when it comes to knowing who it is we believe in and why.

Matthew 2 starts out just after the birth of Christ, immediately placing the listener in what will become a life or death situation for the newborn savior of the world. The jealous and nervous king Herod gave a decree that all of the children two and younger were to be killed, which forced Christ and his parents to flee into Africa to escape.
