Filmed on location in Israel by Focus on the Family Films, Faith Lessons (TM) is a unique video series that brings God's Word to life with astounding relevance. By weaving together the Bible's fascinating historical, cultural, religious, and geographical contexts, teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan reveals keen insights into Scripture's significance for modern believers. These illuminating 'faith lessons' afford a new understanding of the Bible that will ground your convictions and transform your life. Church Volume Two -- Contents -- Part of a series previously published as That the World May Know, Faith Lessons on the Promised Land focuses on how God put his mark on a people and their land -- a mark that he has extended through ancient Israel to the faithful today. Video One 1. Innocent Blood -- Part 1 (Megiddo) When evil dominates society as it did at Megiddo, it's a wake-up call for Christians to fight for righteousness. 2. Innocent Blood -- Part 2 (Megiddo) 3. Who Is God? (Mount Carmel) In a fiery showdown with the prophets of Baal, Elijah confronted Israel with a choice: 'Whom will you serve?' Today, we must challenge our culture with the same questions. 4. The Wages of Sin (Lachish) What happened at Lachish issues warnings to Christians today. When God's values are ignored by the majority, even the righteous reap the consequences. 5. The Lord is My Shepherd (Negev) The Old Testament portrayal of God as shepherd has been lost in our culture. Rediscover the key to hearing the voice of God that guides us to fulfilled lives. 6. God with Us (Arad) In Old Testament times, God manifested himself in the temple. Today, he dwells in us. We have a responsibility to represent God's presence to a dying world.
