Our Latest Faith Lesson
The LORD My Banner
In today's video, we look at the story from Exodus 17, where the Amalekites attack the Israelites.

Moses goes up onto a hill with the "staff of God in his hand." When Moses' hands were up in the air, the Israelites were winning. When his hands lowered, the Israelites lost.

After winning the battle, Moses builds an altar and calls it "The LORD is my banner."  

The context for this story and Moses' comment about the "banner" comes right out of Egypt and the religious use of standards or flags. 

From this point in the scripture, the concept of a "banner" moves forward up to and including Jesus. 

Join us for part one this week and part two in two weeks as we explore the LORD as our banner!

Sea of Galilee Series
In this series we travel around the Sea of Galilee to explore the many Jesus stories that take place in that region. 

The area surrounding the Sea of Galilee was a combustive mixture of Jews and Gentile; Roman power and the Zealots. 

We often think that Jesus started a peasant movement out in the middle of nowhere. This could not be farther from the truth.

Jesus placed his ministry right on the main road of Capernaum for all to see. He mixed with everyone, from the hyper-religious Zealots to the idol worshiping pagans. 

This series will open your eyes and challenge your presuppositions to they many stories you have known for years.
