In this teaching, we take an academic and theological examination of dendrolatry—the worship of trees, the veneration of trees, or the treatment of trees as sacred—and its place within the broader context of Scripture and history. This presentation will explore how ancient cultures practiced dendrolatry, how the prophets spoke against it, and how remnants of these practices can still be observed in modern traditions.

This video delves into the historical and cultural veneration of trees, tracing its roots from ancient pagan practices to its manifestations in various spiritual traditions. This teaching invites viewers to consider the spiritual consequences of syncretism and to pursue a deeper understanding of purity in worship according to the Word.Continue Reading

In this teaching, we present an examination of slavery as depicted and regulated in the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures. We survey key passages from the Tanakh (aka Old Testament) and the Messianic Scriptures (aka New Testament), situating ancient Israelite servitude within its Near Eastern context and contrasting it with later forms of bondage. We delve into the historical, cultural, and linguistic contexts to provide a nuanced understanding of slavery in the Bible.

This study invites thoughtful reflection on a challenging topic without shying from honest appraisal. We encourage you to engage with the material, ask questions, and share insights as we seek understanding together in a spirit of mutual respect and learning.

This is not a simplistic or emotional approach, but a diplomatic and thorough analysis for those seeking a deeper knowledge of the biblical text. Whether you are a student of biblical history, a church leader, or a seeker of theological depth, this presentation offers a rigorous yet accessible framework.
