Wednesday August 19, 2026 2:15pm - 2:45pm EDT

Many Christians (and non-Christians) are confused by the Bible’s message about money, including whether a Christian is authorized to save anything. Are we authorized to possess any riches, or should we immediately “go and sell all that [we] have and give to the poor”? What are we to make of everything the Bible says about money? Is it contradictory or perfectly consistent?

Micah and the Precise Identity of the Messiah
Thursday August 20, 2026 3:00pm - 3:30pm EDT

Though the Messiah revealed Himself 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem, most people missed, ignored, or refused to accept the amazing, fulfilled fact that Jesus was born only five miles down the road in Bethlehem of Judea—just as the prophet Micah precisely promised He would 700 years earlier. This testifies to both the Bible’s supernatural inspiration as well as the divine nature of Jesus Christ.
