Raising Lazarus
Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead four days after he was buried, demonstrating His power over death and leading many people to believe in Him (John 11:1-44).
Bible Narratives
Return from Exile
After many years in Babylon, the Israelites were allowed to return to Jerusalem, rebuild the Temple, and restore the city under leaders such as Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah (Ezra 1:1-3; Nehemiah 2:17). This marked the restoration of the nation after exile.
Samuel Called by God
As a young boy serving in the tabernacle, Samuel heard God calling his name during the night and responded, "Speak, for your servant is listening" (1 Samuel 3:10). This event marked the beginning of Samuel's role as a prophet in Israel.
Saul Becomes King
The Israelites asked for a king so they could be like other nations, and God instructed Samuel to anoint Saul as the first king of Israel (1 Samuel 9:15-17). Saul was chosen to lead Israel but was told to obey God's commands.
Sermon on the Mount
Jesus delivered the Sermon on the Mount to teach about the kingdom of God, including the Beatitudes, the Lord's Prayer, and teachings about love, forgiveness, and obedience (Matthew 5-7). These teachings describe how followers of Jesus should live.
Slaughter of the Innocents
Matthew's story of Herod's massacre of the innocents of Bethlehem is looked at with great skepticism by many modern scholars and writers. However, is it really a tall tale?
Solomon Becomes King
When King David was old, his son Adonijah tried to declare himself king, but David instructed that Solomon be anointed as king instead (1 Kings 1:32-35). Solomon became king of Israel and established his rule after David's death (1 Kings 2:12).
Solomon Builds the Temple
Solomon built the Temple in Jerusalem as a permanent place for worship and for the Ark of the Covenant (1 Kings 6:1). The Temple was completed after several years and dedicated to the Lord (1 Kings 8:10-11).
Temptation in the Wilderness
After His baptism, Jesus went into the wilderness for forty days where He was tempted by the devil but did not sin (Matthew 4:1-11). This event showed His obedience and preparation for His ministry.
The 7 Churches
At the very beginning of the Book of Revelation, John addresses the seven churches in Asia - (an area in what is modern Turkey). The Lord Jesus commands John to write a message to each.
These churches were seven real churches at the time, and while some believe they represent seven church ages, many argue that they represent seven church types that have existed since the church began, and will exist until Christ returns.

The Anakim (Giants in Canaan)
The Anakim were a group of very tall people living in Canaan when the Israelites entered the land. The Israelite spies reported that they felt like grasshoppers compared to them (Numbers 13:33).
The Ascension
After His resurrection, Jesus appeared to His disciples for forty days and then ascended into heaven from the Mount of Olives while they watched (Acts 1:9-11). Before ascending, He told them they would receive the Holy Spirit and be His witnesses.
