Numerous scholars have argued that Leviticus 18:18 prohibits not just sororal polygyny (a polygamous marriage between a man and two women who are sisters) but polygamy generally. In this video, we unpack the historical and textual evidence that supports this view. We also address a polygamy advocate's objections to this interpretation.
“Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord” (Ephesians 5:22). If you just read that verse out loud, then you might hear a faint, high-pitched noise. That sound is every feminist worldwide shrieking about how Christianity oppresses women. But is this instruction in Ephesians really oppressive toward women?
In Matthew 24:20, Yeshua’s admonished his followers in Jerusalem and Judea to pray that they wouldn’t have to flee in winter or on the Sabbath during the coming Roman war. Why did Yeshua tell his followers to pray that they wouldn’t have to flee on the Sabbath? What might be some implications of this instruction?
As we learned in the first part of this teaching, the Bible does not support replacing Sabbath observance with Sunday observance. So, how did this change occur? How did we get to where we are now, with most Christians not keeping the Sabbath on the seventh day? This teaching will attempt to answer that question.
One of the most important annual events on the Hebrew calendar is the Passover meal and the seven-day Feast of Unleavened Bread. This powerful biblical holiday commemorates the Exodus story—the deliverance of Israel from their slavery in ancient Egypt. For Christians, this story is a prophetic picture of our own deliverance from slavery to sin. How do we celebrate this amazing season?

Second, we will see if the Bible offers us any wisdom regarding the consumption of alcohol, whether it is encouraged or discouraged.
