Bible Insights Report

In this Christmas edition of the Bible Insights Report, we discuss the one who paved the way for the Messiah, Jesus Christ. His name was John the Baptist. We take you up to the time shortly after John’s birth. We will continue our discussion of John in our next edition of the newsletter as he prepares the people for the salvation that Jesus offered then and still does today.

We continue our insight into the prophet Malachi. In this edition, we provide an infographic on chapter two of his book that reviews the issues God had with His people.

Welcome to the 4th edition of the Bible Insights Report. You will find information on Jesus’ continued teaching and healing. On display is the Son of God’s message of love and forgiveness of others. Please check out our new section, Current Issues Impacting God’s People, in which we discuss the plight of children living in poverty and how we all can help, i.e. www.hisloveandsonshine.org. Finally, in the Prophet section we highlight chapter 1 of Malachi who conveyed God’s message of disappointment in His people. The message could be said to us today.

Welcome to the 3rd edition of the Bible Insights Report in which we cover chapters 5 and 6 in the book of Luke.

In these chapters we read of the growing animosity the Pharisees have toward Jesus. On the other hand, Luke points out the crowds of people who come to Jesus for his preaching and his healing. In chapter 6, we read of Jesus’ sermon on the Plain in which He speaks to the people of blessings (the Beatitudes) and woes that were to come.

The newsletter also highlights the prophet Haggai whom God used to propel His people to rebuild His temple.

We hope you enjoy this issue.

The Pharisees may not have liked Jesus, but the people did!
