We know that Jesus is the Messiah. But how do the prophecies of the Old Testament reveal Him as the promised One? Join us for this episode in which Manny Elias walks us through Jesus’ birth and incarnation, His life and ministry, His passion and death, and His resurrection and triumph—showing how these events were prophesied long before. By the end, the connections may seem so clear that you might wonder how anyone could miss them. We’ll discuss that question as well.

(This is the second episode in our three-part series on “Jesus in the Old Testament.” The first episode, “Jesus in the Old Testament: Christophanies,” is Episode #38.)

You can BELIEVE IT, because it’s true.

You can DEFEND IT, because there’s evidence.

You can LIVE IT OUT, because Jesus died and was resurrected.

Join us as we discuss Jesus’ death and resurrection with Apologist Jon Noyes of Stand to Reason. Whether you’re an atheist, a new believer, or a mature believer… this episode is for you.

................................................

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS/TIME-POINTS:

1. (00:05:28) Why is believing in Jesus’ death and resurrection essential to our faith? Can someone call themselves a believer and profess Christianity if they don’t believe in the resurrection?

2. (00:08:54) How can we know Jesus’ death and resurrection were real? What evidence should we familiarize ourselves with as believers?

(2a) (00:09:47) Real-life examples pointing to why it is helpful to be prepared with knowing evidence.

(2b) (00:19:12) Was learning evidence part of Jon’s conversion story, from atheist to apologist?

(2c) (00:22:26) Jon walks us through evidence of the resurrection practically, using his apologetic wisdom and legal background, as well as through the research he conducted as a former atheist trying to debunk Christianity.

(2d) (00:57:40) Jon shares an encouragement to us on what we should be doing with the information we just discussed.

3. (01:00:34) What does Jesus’ death and resurrection mean for us practically and spiritually?

Being a Christian IS NOT a cakewalk. If you haven’t yet been knocked off your rocker from a spiritual attack… You’ll probably be knocked off soon. Praise God that He is Victor and, in Him, we are, too. Join us as Manny Elias walks us through what we need to know about spiritual warfare, the demonic realm, and the Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20).

................................................

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS/TIME-POINTS:

1. (00:02:42) Discussion on The Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-20)
2. (01:01:47) What and/or who are demons? And, do we know them by name?
3. (01:07:54) Can we cast demons out? Can believers become fully possessed?
4. (01:10:52) What is a spiritual attack? Why do we have them?
5. (01:14:02) How do we know when we are under a spiritual attack? Are there signs beforehand? How do we know when it’s over?
6. (01:29:26) How should we fight spiritual attacks?
7. (01:40:13) Is the Christian life just a cycle of spiritual attacks and rest? Is it worth it to pursue Jesus despite these spiritual attacks?
8. (01:47:04) Scripture Section & Conclusion
