Zacchaeus up Close

In the Old Testament, Jericho's walls came tumbling down. But in the New Testament, the taxes were plenty high. Making sure that you paid your fair share—and then some—was a tax collector named Zacchaeus. What do we actually know about this man—and what can we take away from his story for our own journey? That's where we're headed this week on The Land and the Book.

It was the deadliest day in Jewish history since the Holocaust: October 7, 2023. What were the highest hopes for Hamas? What would have made that day a “Perfect Ten” for them? And what do we need to know about the ideological mindset of terrorists LIKE them? These are questions we’ll explore this week with Justin Kron on The Land and the Book. Prepare to be shocked, as you join the conversation.

Eden, Sinai, Tabor, and Zion. In the Bible, these four mountain-top encounters with God unify the Bible's grand story. When you and I read Scripture with attentiveness to symbols and images—such as mountains—the Bible's overarching story emerges. Better yet, we encounter God Himself in His Word. This week on The Land and the Book, we’ll hike up all four mountains. Plus, we’ll answer your Bible questions, bring you the headlines from the Middle East—all on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s one thing to read about Bible History…but it’s another to live it. How do you do that? This week on The Land and the Book, we'll take a tour of the Biblical History Center! You'll stand in a tent made of goat and camel hair. Examine a coin with Pontius Pilate's name on it--and walk through a home like biblical characters lived in. Hint: it's mighty small.

It's incredible how many people happily agree that Jesus was a great teacher. Or a great miracle worker. Or a great moral example. But when you tell them Jesus claimed to be God, the conversation often turns icy. So, did Jesus really make that claim? Spoiler alert: Yes! Join us for the proof this week on The Land and the Book.

The Bible commands every believer to make disciples. And making disciples begins with people who don’tknow the Savior. But what do you do when your Jewish friend wants nothing to do with Christ? How do you navigate that relationship? This week on The Land and the Book, we’ll look at what to do “When Your Jewish Friend Wants Nothing to Do with Jesus.”  Plus, you’ll hear all the top stories of the Middle East—from a biblical perspective—on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Suffering. It's the thing we run from--the thing we dread. But we're not alone. And we're not the first. Many of the Bible names you know and love faced suffering of all kinds. What lessons did they learn? What wisdom did they leave for us in Scripture? This week on The Land and the Book, our special guest is Joni Tada. You’ll be encouraged as we explore suffering in Scripture—and suffering in YOUR life.

Consider the biblical city of Shiloh—Israel's first religious capital. It was here that Hanna dedicated her son, Samuel. In Shiloh, the Tabernacle and Ark of the Covenant were kept for many years. Today, workers are excavating the ancient city of Shiloh. This week on The Land and the Book, we'll talk with an archaeologist who shares remarkable insights from his dig earlier this summer.

Civil war in Syria. More than half a million Syrians are dead, and 55 thousand of those are children. Half of Syria's population is now uprooted from their homes. And 5.5 million have fled to neighboring countries. But some courageous Christians are shining bright lights for Christ in Syria. Their stories are amazing—and we’ll hear them this week on The Land and the Book.Donate to Moody Radio: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/landandthebookSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
