Fig Tree Ministries Podcast#115 - Passover - God's Appointed Feasts (pt. 2)Today's lesson is the second in our series on God's Appointed Feasts – sometimes called God's holidays.
Today's lesson focuses on the first of the seven Biblical holidays – Passover.
Passover was the central holiday in the collective consciousness of the Jewish people in the first century.
This holiday celebrates when God overthrew the Pharaoh and delivered the nation of Israel.
Many in Jesus' day longed for God to once again show up on Passover to deliver the Israelites from the oppressive rule of the Roman empire.
"God has done it in the past," they said, "and he can certainly do it agai...

God is redeeming the world. The Bible is a book about redemption.

Fig Tree Ministries Podcast#86 - Jesus, the Afikomen? - Exodus (pt. 13)Today's video explores the Last Supper as a Passover Seder.
The Gospel writers include details about the meal found within traditional Passover Seder celebrations.
We can even discern where some of the disciples would have been sitting relative to Jesus that evening by looking closely at these details.
Finally, we explore an element of the celebration called the Afikomen. Many scholars believe that the piece of unleavened bread (matzah) that Jesus identifies as his body is, in fact, the Afikomen.

Fig Tree Ministries Podcast#85 - Jesus, God's Passover Lamb - Exodus (pt. 12)In this week's lesson, we look at the details about the Passover in Exodus chapter 12.
We can then compare the details about Jesus that are included in the Gospels and the rest of the New Testament.
The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus are nested within the holidays of Passover, Unleavened Bread, and First Fruits.
The Gospel writers, in particular, are sure to include seemingly small details that help their audience point back to Exodus 12 and the original Passover Lamb.
The New Testament writers see Jesus as God's Passover Lamb that has been offered to redeem the whole world.

Fig Tree Ministries Podcast#84 - Passover - Introduction - Exodus (pt. 11)In this video, we begin short three-part series on Passover.
Passover is the most important holiday within the Hebrew Bible and for the nation of Israel.
This lesson takes a ten-thousand-foot view of the Passover holiday and how it connects throughout the Old Testament and into the events surrounding Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.
We look into the "four expressions of redemption" (Exodus 6:6-7) and how it relates to the Passover meal that Jesus ate with his disciples the night before his death.
Understanding the Biblical Holidays (Leviticus 23) and how they relate to Jesus is a goldmine for Christians to...

Fig Tree Ministries Podcast#63 - Genealogy - Phases of the Moon? Matthew Study Week 2When Matthew composed Jesus' genealogy at the opening of his Gospel did he have the moon cycle in mind?
Jesus' genealogy provides the foundation for what is to come in the remainder of Matthew's Gospel. Matthew deliberately divides the genealogy - Redemptive History - into three sets of fourteen generations. Why 14?

2021-10-0147 minFig Tree Ministries Podcast#62 - The Kingdom of Heaven - Matthew Study Week 1This video is the first of a ten-week Bible study series on the Gospel of Matthew.
We discuss the phrase "the kingdom of Heaven." What would that mean to those hearers of first-century Israel?
Over the many years, this phrase has taken on western connotations of a local (Kingdom as a noun) in the future that we call heaven. But for the Jews of the first century, the Kingdom of Heaven meant the present reality of God's "reign" (as a verb). The present action of God’s rule here on earth as Jesus teaches us to pray: “your kingdom come, your...
