His first topic is "Two Caves Near Bethlehem." Historians tell us Jesus was probably born in a cave. Even as He was being born, another "cave" was being dug nearby--but it was a cave of death, not of birth. Explore the fascinating stories of these two caves near Bethlehem, and what they reveal about the Savior's mission.

Melashenko's second topic is "Why Shepherds?" Why did the first announcement of the Savior's birth come to humble shepherds? What can these shepherds teach us about the ministry of the One who would be known as the Good Shepherd?

His third topic is entitled "Out of Egypt. Why did the angel send Joseph, Mary, and Jesus south to Egypt on their way to Nazareth in the north? Understanding the story behind the story reveals important lessons about the Messiah's mission."

The final topic is "The Carpenter and the King." Is it possible that archaeologists have found some of the handiwork of Joseph, or maybe even Jesus, in a town not far from Nazareth? Join Lonnie Melashenko as he explores the capital of Galilee, just down the road from Jesus' hometown.
