The Last Days Of Jesus DVD-based Bible Study - Deeper Connections Series

My Sunday bible study group is using the Deeper Connections study of the Miracles of Jesus. I am familiar with the series so I was eager to preview the Last Days of Jesus. The host Margaret Feinburg did a good job of setting up the sessions. I enjoy seeing the land of Israel, Caesarea Philippi, and the Kidron Valley and learning facts about the restoration of the Jewish cemetery. Jews buried face up with feet pointed toward Jerusalem. Varying filming sites makes the teaching more interesting.

Dr. Matt Williams teaching from “Warrior to Servant” is filmed at Vulture gold mine outside Phoenix, Arizona. His teaching of Peter’s rebuke and later presence on the Mount of Transfiguration offers all of us hope for forgiveness and helps us to realize our earthly wealth can be stolen at any moment. Dr. Mark Strause reporting from a horse ranch focuses on three important events: Triumphal Entrance- shows us fulfillment of prophecy and explanation of why Jesus arrived on a donkey; Cleansing of the temple: act of judgment on the temple and Israel prediction of destruction of the temple; Cursing of the fig tree symbolizes unfruitfulness of Israel. Application lessons are insightful.

Dr. Gary Burge ‘s begins the study of the Resurrection by showing a beautiful mausoleum empty because the bones of this wealthy family was moved from this Chicago cemetery to one outside Wrigley field. The early church did not worship or make a shrine of the place where Jesus was buried because Christ defeated death. Last year I taught a 30 week bible study on the book of Matthew. I can testify that the information was accurate and interesting. Thank you Rose Publishing for this free material to review.
