'Foundations' is about filling in the gaps with the information most people miss or are unaware of. The truth is that over time words, definitions and culture changes in dramatic ways and applying present day understanding and meanings to words, phrases and events, can lead to very different conclusions. By learning about the Jewish and Hebrew culture that the Bible was set in and the environment, traditions and understandings of the people whom God chose to write down His Word, we can gain a bigger, deeper and richer understanding of God's Word that we love so much.

Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement is what we’ll continue learning about on Foundations today.

We love the idea that when God forgives us of our sins that He doesn’t remember them anymore. After all, who wants to be reminded of every terrible thing they’ve ever said, done or thought!

Have you ever read a word in the Bible you didn’t understand and simply skip over it?

We began a conversation last time regarding human beings being cracked pots, broken because of sin.

Usually referring to someone as a crackpot, means you think they’re crazy, but the Bible talks about human beings as earthen vessels, pots made of clay from God’s hand of creation.

When we read the Bible, it’s easy to become confused about some things that are said, but that doesn’t mean what’s said is wrong. Context and culture are really important. Jesus also said some things that can be confusing and we’re going to continue our previous conversation about that very thing.

Paul described those of us who don’t know Christ, especially Gentile’s, as orphans, and that when we come to faith in Christ, we’re adopted in the family of God and therefore, are no longer orphans.

Nobody wants to be described as an animal, however, the Bible describes human beings as being like sheep, and with good reason. We tend to behave just like them in so many ways.

There’s quite a bit of confusion about not only knowing who our King is, but how we’re supposed to approach our King.
