Going home

7 minutes / 2 characters

Description
The Time: 39 days after the resurrection
The Place: Nazareth

James, brother of Jesus, is hard at work, struggling in vain to escape the recent turn of events. The death by crucifixion of his brother was difficult enough, but word of his resurrection has left James hopelessly confused and troubled.

Theme
Even though Jesus lived on this earth as a man, His real home is in heaven with the Father; if we are His followers, heaven is also our true home.

Our four-year study of First Corinthians has now drawn to a close. All 170 sessions, in both text and audio, remain available at the First Corinthians page. More important, we are pleased to offer the complete study in one PDF volume! This makes an excellent resource for any study of the letter. All this is available at our First Corinthians page.

The writer to the Hebrews quotes from a number of important Psalms in his epistle/sermon. We have recently added A Five-psalm Preparatory Study for the Book of Hebrews: Psalms 102, 40, 8, 110, 95 —which supplies an essential preface to the Hebrews study. Even if you are one of the thousands who have already downloaded and used our Hebrews study, this new resource will contribute to your understanding of that book. And if you have not yet downloaded our popular Hebrews study, be sure to obtain this new five-psalm study as well, and work through it before beginning Hebrews.
