Church History - Episode 50: The Crusades, Part 4 | Pastor Lance Ralston
In this video, Pastor Lance Ralston continues to delve into an infamous, oft-misunderstood series of events in the history of Christendom: The Crusades. We focus at the Fifth, Sixth and Seventh Crusades, and theirs impacts on both the Christian and Muslims worlds. Pastor Lance examines how the European powers continued to rally over the decades to free the Holy Land of its Islamic conquerors. We look at the waning and challenged Kingdom of Jerusalem, County of Tripoli, Principality of Antioch, and the County of Edessa, to figures like Muslim leader Malik al Kameel; Saint Louis IX, King of France; the Popes Gregory IX, Urban IV, and Clement III; and Humbert de Romanis, general of the Dominicans. The interplay between these key figures are explored, before giving an overview and insight into the Crusades as a whole. Lance even mentions the ill-fated "Children's Crusade"! - Join us for this monumental page in Christian history! Let us know in the comments!

How Should Christians Respond to Doubt? LIVE Q&A from Sweden Jan 9 w/ David Guzik
Welcome to the weekly live Q&A with Pastor David Guzik, author of the Enduring Word Bible commentary - today joined by his wonderful wife, Inga-Lill! After our lead question, Pastor David takes questions via the live chat - simply add your questions & our moderator will arrange & deliver them to Pastor David according to theme or subject! This week, Pastor David's question comes from Tyrese (Tyrese314), who writes: "Hi Pastor Guzik, my name is Tyrese, and I’ve been dealing with some doubts about my faith lately. I know that doubt is normal, but sometimes it feels like it’s pulling me away from God. How should Christians respond when they experience doubt? Should we try to push it aside, or is there a healthy way to deal with it? I’d really appreciate your insight on how to navigate doubt without letting it shake my foundation."

Could you please pray for me? I have lost my thirst for the Lord and feel distant from Him. What should I do? 18:24 Some people get closer to God during trials and others walk away. What are the factors that determine either of the outcomes? (ref. Matt 11:6) 24:22 How can I be among the few that stand in the presence of God, so that He doesn't send me away because He doesn't know me? 28:26 Good day Sir! Was Abraham's attempt to sacrifice Isaac too bold of a trust/belief, or was it appropriate? 30:19 How should we act when we’re disrespected? What if it’s daily, from the same person? 32:58 Does John 15 v10 mean that Jesus only loves us when we follow his commandments? 34:50 I studied kundalini hinduism and meditation, worldly stuff, and then got into Christianity. Not 100%, but could the gifts from hinduism be used for christianity? Hinduism because of books 36:40 I’m a youth pastor, and at a winter conference I was torn because, while the speaker communicated well and moved the students, they misused the text they were teaching from. How would you handle this with the students - to not interfere with what the Spirit was doing with them, while encouraging them to build discernment against teaching like this in the future? 39:00 My Catholic brother asked me: If Sola Scriptura is true, where does the Bible explicitly teach it, if 2 Tim 3 v16-17 doesn’t claim Scripture is the sole authority? (2 Thess 2 v15) Need help! 44:00 In Philippians 2 v17, why is Paul suggesting that he is “poured out like a drink offering”? Didn’t Christ satisfy all sacrifices & offerings on the cross? 48:44 Hi Pastor, I was raised Catholic, drifted away but later became a believer at a Protestant Church. At times I find I still miss some Catholic traditions I grew up with. Do you have any advice? 51:43 Why would people of the Catholic denomination believe Mary, mother of Jesus, was sinless? 53:47 I am soon starting an online Bible Study in John. Your commentary is of course a trusted resource. Any other advice? 54:40 What is your opinion on believers wearing jewelry with a cross on it, is it wrong? some view it as wearing a torture device, some view it as a reminder of their faith. 55:09 Pastor, why were women considered ceremonially unclean during their period in the Old Testament? What was the significance? 56:33 Are the subtitles in the Psalms inspired, specifically Psalm 42, ascribed to the sons of Korah - but many scholars including Spurgeon argue it’s Davidic, probably ‘tongue in cheek.’ 57:43 For couples who are u able to conceive is it ok to undergo Invitro Fertilization (IVF) ? Does it count as playing God ? 58:38 Can the firstborn be saved after the father has died and birthright has been stolen by the younger sibling? 59:14 What if the pre-trib rapture is wrong and we take the mark of the beast out of fear, would we then spend eternity in Hell? 1:00:22 Should people who are disabled and poor through no fault of their own tithe if they have less income than they need to survive or even buy medications? 1:01:47 After 4 years as head pastor I'm now 26, and it seems very difficult to lead because of my age. Is it practical for someone my age to help pastor an older congregation? 1:03:04 How do I truly get to know Jesus? I want a deeper love and relationship with him and I'm struggling doing this. Any help is greatly appreciated! #christianity #bible #christian #pastor
