Like the Roman Empire, today's governments or organizations can become centered on power and believe their messages are the "good news." As Christians, we're called to proclaim God’s name in all the earth (1 Chronicles 16:8), but how do we to do that in the midst of false gospels?

Can you live the message as Paul did while he encouraged the church in Philippi to consider itself a colony of heaven, not Rome? Consider your citizenship—and the message you convey to the world—as Ray Vander Laan takes you deeper into the culture of ancient Philippi.
Experience the Bible in historical context, as you walk in the footsteps of the second missionary tour of the Apostle Paul in Greece—in locations like Philippi, Thessaloniki, and Delphi.

Cultures in Conflict Discovery Guide with DVD: Paul Proclaims Jesus As Lord – Part 2 (16) (That the World May Know)

Understanding God’s Word by experiencing--in full DVD technology--the world in which Jesus lived. This DVD version of The True Easter Story is not a superficial Holy Land travelogue, but a total cultural immersion directed by teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan. Using his knowledge of ancient Jewish holidays and little known customs, Vander Laan probes the true depth of the Easter story as it begins 2,000 years earlier with a simple promise between a man called Abraham and Almighty God.God’s keeping of that promise reveals a beautifully intricate masterpiece of love for human kind--love fully realized centuries later in Jesus’ resurrection and his gift of eternal life.

Filmed on location in Israel by Focus on the Family Films, Faith Lessons (TM) is a unique video series that brings God's Word to life with astounding relevance. By weaving together the Bible's fascinating historical, cultural, religious, and geographical contexts, teacher and historian Ray Vander Laan reveals keen insights into Scripture's significance for modern believers. These illuminating 'faith lessons' afford a new understanding of the Bible that will ground your convictions and transform your life. Church Volume One -- Contents -- Part of a series previously published as That the World May Know, Faith Lessons on the Promised Land focuses on how God put his mark on a people and their land -- a mark that he has extended through ancient Israel to the faithful today. Video One 1. Standing at the Crossroads (Tel Gezer) As God called the ancient culture of Gezer to impact the rest of the world for his glory and purpose, so he calls upon us to do the same today. 2. Wet Feet (The Jordan River) The same faith that caused Israel to safely cross the Jordan at its flood stage releases his power in our lives today when we commit our lives to him in total trust. 3. First Fruits (Tel Jericho) As Jericho was God's first gift to the Jews in the land of Israel, we are to devote to him our 'first fruits'--the possessions and talents he has given each of us. Video Two 4. Confronting Evil (Tel Beth Shemesh) Unlike Samson, who succumbed to the evils of the Philistine culture, our lives must be distinctive, virtuous, and godly if we are to effectively influence modern society. 5. Iron of Culture (Tel Azekah) Like David, who used the Philistines' weapon-making techniques for Israel's advantage, we must employ cutting-edge technology to positively shape our culture.

Video One 1. Innocent Blood -- Part 1 (Megiddo) When evil dominates society as it did at Megiddo, it's a wake-up call for Christians to fight for righteousness. 2. Innocent Blood -- Part 2 (Megiddo) 3. Who Is God? (Mount Carmel) In a fiery showdown with the prophets of Baal, Elijah confronted Israel with a choice: 'Whom will you serve?' Today, we must challenge our culture with the same questions. 4. The Wages of Sin (Lachish) What happened at Lachish issues warnings to Christians today. When God's values are ignored by the majority, even the righteous reap the consequences. 5. The Lord is My Shepherd (Negev) The Old Testament portrayal of God as shepherd has been lost in our culture. Rediscover the key to hearing the voice of God that guides us to fulfilled lives. 6. God with Us (Arad) In Old Testament times, God manifested himself in the temple. Today, he dwells in us. We have a responsibility to represent God's presence to a dying world.
