Hello and blessings to all of our subscribers.

Webinar: Is There A God?

I am teaching a two week webinar, with the help of IPI (www.ipibooks.com) on Science and Christianity.  The event is on the next two Saturdays at 9:00 Pacific Daylight Savings Time.  The first week will be on Science and God.  The second week will be on Science and Christianity, with emphasis on the history of the relationship between the two, as well as the age of the earth and the Theory of Evolution.  See the info below.  The power point will be at the web site.

Class on the Book of Isaiah

I am also teaching a series of classes on the Book of Isaiah on Sundays at 9:00 Pacific Daylight Savings Time on zoom at 342 225 5971 pw 857096.  This will be happening for at least the next three weeks.  Power point, notes and the audio are all available at the web site.

Class on Jesus in the Old Testament

I am also doing a series of classes “Old and New Testament Connections”, along with Jerry Maday on Wednesdays at 7:30 Eastern Daylight Savings Time (4:30 Pacific Time) for the Worcester Church of Christ.  The link is https://holycross.zoom.us/j/96477652791  We are looking into topics such as foreshadows in the priesthood, festivals and laws, as well as messianic and historical foreshadows of Jesus.  This should be a great class!  It will run through April 21.  Power point, audio and notes will be posted at the web site.

New Materials available

After a period of relatively new activity, there is a lot of new material at the web site.  I have completed a series of 16 sermons on the Book of John.  The entire series is here:  https://evidenceforchristianity.org/sermons-from-the-gospel-of-john-by-dr-john-oakes-2/   I also completed a series of classes on the Minor Prophets for the Los Angeles School of Mission and Ministry.  This is some great material! It is here:  https://evidenceforchristianity.org/class-on-the-minor-prophets-for-the-los-angeles-school-of-missions-and-ministry/   I am now doing a series of lessons from the Minor Prophets.  The lessons are here:  https://evidenceforchristianity.org/freedom-in-christ-bakersfield-2/   I am also doing a new series of classes on the Book of Romans.  We are just getting started, but the classes are here:   https://evidenceforchristianity.org/class-on-romans-for-campus-students/

After more than a year in which travel was virtually impossible, I am hoping to begin traveling to teach for churches, starting this summer.  Tentative plans are in the works to visit Port au Prince, Haiti and other churches in the Caribbean in July and West Africa soon after that.  Please be praying for these plans and for the churches in these areas.  Please also pray that the wealthy countries will have the heart to help the less-developed world to have the vaccinations they need to bring the pandemic under control.  Amos would have a lot to say to us about how the wealthy need to help the poor (as I will be preaching Sunday… see the web site!)

Thanks for your support and prayers.
