In this session we consider the reality of the end of our time here on Earth. Our present lives will end. After that comes the judgment. For those “in Christ” we are soberly aware that God the Father working in Christ through the Spirit will make us blameless on that day. In the meantime, we persuade others to trust Christ in order to be prepared for the reality of that day.

This week we take a look at another of the days in which the world changed - the Day of Pentecost and the coming of the Holy Spirit to permanently indwell, empower and guide the followers of Jesus. We also consider the significance of the Lord’s Supper as means by which we are to remember our Lord Jesus as having central significance in our lives.

This week, we return to the beginning of Jesus’ earthly life and scan to the end of His earthly ministry to see how He is the fulfillment of all that was promised beforehand. Part of the fulfillment was the extending of the blessings of the Promises to the Gentile Nations in the book of Acts which we will cover next week.

We continue looking at the life and ministry of Jesus, particularly His greatest desires for His people - that they should know He and the Father, experience their love and thus enter into eternal life.

We take a look at the opening of the New Testament, the Greek Scriptures, by considering the fact that Jesus is THE Truth. Truth is not just an abstract, philosophical or theological idea; the Truth is Jesus. To find the Truth we must know Him.

We resume our study of God’s plans and purposes revealed in the Bible by giving an overview and summary of our study of the Hebrew Scriptures from the previous semester. As we move toward the entrance of Jesus the Messiah into history based on the Promises given to Israel, we see that everything that has been lost, twisted and broken by human rebellion will be redeemed, cleansed and restored by God’s gracious and powerful work.

This week we explore the events leading up to the promise of the New Covenant in the Exilic Prophets. Just when it seemed that all hope had been lost for Israel, God once again intervenes in grace to give hope to His people. The New Covenant promises restoration for the people, the land and the rule of David.

We continue on through the Story of the Bible focusing on the Promises of the Davidic Covenant. The promises to David set the blueprint and roadmap for God’s purposes in our history. One of David’s sons would inherit his kingdom and rule on his throne over all the nations forever. Yet the sons of David prove to be failures. The classical Prophets arise to warn the people of the coming judgment and also to extend hope based in the Lord’s mercy and grace.

This week we look at God’s plans and purposes in the history of Israel from Mount Sinai to the end of the Period of the Judges. Even though Israel proves to be a stubborn, stick necked and hard hearted people, this does not negate God’s purposes being worked out through His unique chosen people.

God has a plan that He is working out in our history. It begins with Creation and moves toward New Creation. This week we begin to explore this glorious Plan by discovering what the Bible tells us about our Origins - Why did God create us? We also take a look at what went wrong in the beginning that has lead to all the chaos and corruption that we see in our times.
