Welcome to another weekly episode of the Know Your Bible Program, brought to you by the David J. Lewis Evangelistic Association in conjunction with the Churches of Christ.

In this episode, Evangelist David J. Lewis dives into Matthew Chapter 28, exploring one of the most pivotal events in human history: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. While the enemies of Jesus believed putting Him in a sealed tomb with guards would silence His message, Sunday was coming. Discover how trying to destroy the messenger can never stop the word of God.

Key Highlights From This Episode:


The First Day of the Week: Why Sunday holds a profound significance in the scriptures, from the resurrection and Pentecost to the early church's tradition of worshiping on the first day.


Three Days and Three Nights: A deep dive into biblical chronology, historical context, and Old Testament prophecies regarding the exact timeline of the crucifixion and burial.


The Miracle of the Moved Stone: An insightful perspective on why the angel rolled away the stone—not to let Jesus out, but to let the witnesses in.


The Response of Faith: Looking at the initial doubts of the disciples and Mary Magdalene, and what Jesus's resurrection means for believers today who "have not seen, and yet have believed."

Christ raised

Join evangelist David J. Lewis in this powerful study of Acts chapters 13 and 14 as we retrace the steps of the Apostle Paul’s first major missionary tour. From the calling of the Holy Spirit in Antioch to a miraculous recovery from a brutal stoning in Lystra, this episode dives deep into the high stakes, supernatural interventions, and human challenges of the early Church.

Along the way, we explore timeless lessons on letting go of people's past mistakes, overcoming the desire for human praise, and learning to lean entirely on God's grace when the world turns against us.

Inside This Episode:


The Call at Antioch: The Holy Spirit sets apart Barnabas and Saul for the work ahead (Acts 13:1-3).


A New Name & First Convert: Saul becomes Paul during a spiritual showdown in Cyprus with Elymas the sorcerer (Acts 13:7-12).


Turning to the Gentiles: Facing envy and contradiction from his own brethren, Paul makes a monumental shift in his ministry strategy (Acts 13:45-52).


Misplaced Glory at Lystra: After healing a lifelong cripple, Paul and Barnabas must aggressively restrain the crowds from treating them like pagan gods (Acts 14:8-18).


Left for Dead, But Not Done: Stoned and dragged out of the city, Paul miraculously gets back up and walks right back into the fight (Acts 14:19-20).

Key Takeaway:"Just because someone does something different than we do doesn't make them wrong. And you know something? It doesn't make us right... We have to look at the whole diamond." — David J. Lewis

Missionary tour

Join evangelist David J. Lewis in this episode of Know Your Bible, brought to you by the David J. Lewis Evangelistic Association in conjunction with the Churches of Christ.

This week, we take a walk down the road to Emmaus to unpack an extraordinary, hidden-in-plain-sight conversation between the risen Christ and His disciples. Along the way, we tackle one of the most debated topics in biblical chronology: Did Jesus actually die on a Friday?

Using strict scriptural math and Old Testament Passover context, David challenges the traditional "Good Friday" timeline to show how Jesus perfectly fulfilled His own prophecy down to the very hour.

Scripture Referenced in This Episode


The Walk to Emmaus:Luke 24:13–33 – Two disciples commune with a "stranger" on Sunday, only to have their eyes opened during the breaking of bread.


The Three Days & Three Nights Prophecy:Matthew 12:40 – Jesus explains the sign of the prophet Jonah and the exact duration He must remain in the heart of the earth.


The Original Passover Timeline:Exodus 11 & Exodus 12 – How the traditional slaughtering, cooking, and eating of the Seder lamb aligns with a Thursday crucifixion rather than Friday.

Walk to Emmaus

What can the quiet moments after the crucifixion teach us about true conviction and royalty? In this episode of Know Your Bible, host David J. Lewis walks us through the profound and often overlooked details of Christ’s burial from Matthew 27.

Focusing on the courageous actions of Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus—two powerful, wealthy members of the Sanhedrin council who chose to honor Jesus in secret—this message uncovers the deep significance of the brand-new tomb, the 100 pounds of royal spices, and the massive stone that sealed it. Evangelist Lewis challenges us to look past the surface of the burial to see how it fulfilled ancient scripture, debunked modern myths like the Shroud of Turin, and foreshadowed our own spiritual burial and rebirth. Tune in to discover why Jesus was honored as a noble leader in death and what his burial means for our salvation today.

Key Takeaways


The Quiet Believers of the Sanhedrin: Unpacking how powerful leaders like Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus risked their standing to honor Christ.


A Burial Fit for Royalty: Exploring the significance of the 100-pound mixture of myrrh and aloes used to preserve the body and symbolize majesty.


Debunking the Shroud: Examining the traditional Jewish custom of using a separate face cloth (napkin) and why it contradicts modern burial cloth theories.


The Immovable Stone: Understanding the structural design of first-century tombs and why the two-ton stone served as a miraculous barrier.


Buried According to Scripture: Reflecting on how Christ's burial fulfilled Old Testament prophecy and serves as the ultimate model for biblical baptism.

Scripture References


Matthew 27:57-60 – The account of Joseph of Arimathea begging Pilate for the body of Jesus and laying it in his own new tomb.


Luke 23:50-52 – Dr. Luke's confirmation that Joseph was a good and just counselor who did not consent to the council's vote to condemn Jesus.


John 19:38-40 – Nicodemus joining Joseph to bring an abundance of myrrh and aloes to wind the body in linen according to Jewish burial customs.


1 Corinthians 15:3-4 – Paul’s declaration of the foundational Gospel message: that Christ died, was buried, and rose again according to the Scriptures.


Romans 6:3-4 – The spiritual connection between Christ’s literal burial and the believer’s burial through baptism into a new life.
