Lost In Translation: The Bible That Jesus Read

Many people know of the New Testament being written in koine Greek, yet what of the Greek Old Testament? That is known as the Septuagint, and historically was the Bible that Jesus probably read. I will be presenting a brief history of Hebrew, a short history and defense of the authority of the Septuagint, and an analysis of Isaiah 53.

Learning to Lament

The book of Psalms, containing both praises and laments, was used by Israel in worship. Western churches today, however, worship in praise more than lament, leading people to believe that their sorrow is from a lack of faith. The balance of praise and lament in the Church is important because it allows us to bring our whole self to God and acknowledge God’s response of faithful love. By looking at other cultures and understanding the language of the Psalms, churches can authentically worship God together through lament.

Genesis 15: A Single Seed

The life of a plant is produced by what we know as the germination of a seed. From the single seed of one man, Abraham, came the Son of God. Dormant as man may view it—the descendants—the covenant God made with Abraham was eventually fulfilled a near 2,000 years later. This former infertile seed went on to germinate and produce a plant, which dropped seeds, creating more plants, generating more life; just like the stars, the life produced by this single seed was and is all too much to count. But it did not stop with the birth of Jesus. It had only begun at the cross. This nearly 4,000-year-old covenant carries on today.
