Let God Speak

At some point in our lives, we will all wonder what truth is. People are generally confused by the idea of everyone’s individual truth being equally valid. So is it? Is our own personal version of truth enough to stake eternity on? Today’s study will let the Bible answer this question.

Today the world is awash with the entertainment industry churning out programs involving angels, magic, and the living dead. Many Christian denominations teach that a person’s soul immediately goes to heaven or hell when someone dies. Other religions teach that the dead go to a spirit world when they die, or are re-incarnated into a different life form. What really happens to us when we die? Today’s lesson will explore what the Bible has to say on this important topic.

One of the most important responsibilities of every government is to ensure that there is law and order in society. Without it, the society won’t function, resulting in a failed state, with crime and violence going unfettered. How do we wrestle this with the common teaching of heaven being a place where God’s law is abolished? Today’s study will dig deep into this confounding topic.

There was an earnest interest in the time prophecies of Daniel during the early 19th century, specifically the cleansing of the sanctuary (the 2,300 year prophecy which ended in 1844). Today’s study will look further into this important topic, and will explore the ministry of Jesus Christ in the heavenly sanctuary.

God has offered His peace to a chaotic world. Our world needs peace and hope for the future—people know it, but most don’t want it, not God’s way anyway. Peace will come however, and Jesus will come irrespective of whether everyone wants Him to. Our study today will explore the evidence grounding our confidence in Jesus.

There is a common saying which goes: ‘If you do not stand for something, you will fall for anything.’ This study looks at a group of people from the past who did stand for something, and despite having enormous pressure against them, held their faith against all odds and did not fall. Join us as we investigate these people and learn where they sourced their strength.

The past few studies have taught us that a battle is going on in our world between good and evil. History tells us that the battle even infects Christianity. The Christian church is sadly divided today. But history also teaches us that God has always had faithful souls who stay loyal to Him regardless of persecution.

Today’s study will investigate spiritual light that shines in the darkness of error and superstition. The question every human being will ponder is: how do we find this light, and how do we bring it into our lives? Let’s turn to the bible as we search for answers to these questions.

‘The Trial of God (as it was held on February 25, 1649, in Shamgorod)’ is a fictional play Elie Wiesel wrote about God as a defendant in a mock trial where He is accused of permitting the massacre of His children. In a plot twist, the author of the play claims such a trial occurred in the Nazi concentration camp of Auschwitz, but historians question the accuracy of that claim. Whether there was such a trial or not, there is a cosmic trial of sorts taking place right now, where God’s character is called into question and His love tested. Is He truly a loving God or a selfish tyrant? Our study will look into this Great Controversy theme.

Searching people have many questions: how can a God of love allow so much evil to exist? Or, why do bad things happen to good people? Today we commence a new series on the conflict between good and evil, which deals with these types of questions. Today’s lesson goes back to the very beginning: Lucifer’s rebellion in heaven, which kicked off the cosmic conflict between good and evil. Let’s carefully examine how a God of love dealt with such a tragic development.

A lot of our time is spent waiting. Doctors have waiting rooms; we wait to board an aircraft; and children wait for their next birthday. Today’s panel will discuss waiting on the Lord. Jesus promised to return to this earth, but what do we do as we wait for Him? Hopefully we’ll discover that waiting is not as passive as it sounds.

Worship seems to come naturally to human beings. Whether wooden statues or riches, everyone worships something. Which begs the question: what are the ingredients for true worship? And what are its benefits? To answer these questions, today’s lesson will explore the nature of true worship, along with its outcomes.

Some Psalms declare a desire to visit and dwell securely in Zion. Of the 150 Psalms, 20 specifically mention Zion. Is Zion a place, a political ideology, a symbol, or a theology? The biblical writers use it as a blend of all these things. Today we will look into and discuss these characteristics, with the desire to understand why there is a longing for God’s people to be in Zion.

For countless years people have said variations of: “If you do not learn from the past you will be condemned or doomed to repeat it.” One way we learn from our past is by knowing and remembering our history. Today’s program will look at five Psalms that record parts of Israels history, and what can be learnt from them.

Did you know that the psalms were written as songs to be sung? While the words remain, sadly we don’t know how they were sung, as their musical notation no longer exists. What we do know, is the psalms contain some of the most beautiful and uplifting words of praise and prayers to God. Today’s lesson will reflect on one aspect of God’s goodness.

Last week’s lesson uncovered several attributes of the Judaeo-Christian God. He hears, He cares, He is our shelter, our defender and deliverer. But how do we live in a world that is becoming increasingly foreign to God’ people? Let’s look into this.

The Psalms contain some of the most beautiful and powerful poetry ever written in praise to God. “Make a joyful noise unto the Lord! Serve the Lord with gladness! Come before His presence with singing!” the psalms declare. God deserves our highest praise because He is our creator, sustainer, and redeemer. But more so the Psalms declare that He alone is God and He reigns in Majesty!

"Psalm" is a Greek word which means “song of praise.” The biblical book of Psalms contains 150 writings, but they’re not just songs, they are also prayers par excellence. This second lesson will look at how the Psalms ‘teach us to pray’, encouraging us to come closer to God through prayer, especially when things are not going so great.” Hosted by: Steven GroomGuests: Gayl Fong & Pr John Kosmeier Download the study notes at this link: www.3abnaustralia.org.au/resources/do…s/lgs-notes/

The final book of the Bible is the Revelation of Jesus Christ. The book contains exciting themes such as God’s plan to finally eradicate sin, death, and suffering from the universe. But it also reveals Jesus and His plan to prepare His people for that time. God has a mission to sharing the good news of the gospel, and He invites us to be part of that mission.

One of the most inspiring accounts of “cross-cultural ministry” in the Bible can be found in the book of Esther. As a Queen in a foreign country, Esther was able to play a major part in Biblical history. This story uniquely shows how God’s people, even in foreign environments, can witness for truth.

When you think of sharing the good news about Jesus with someone, how do they look? Do they live in a city or the country? Do they have dark or light skin? Are they a man or a woman? We often have a limited perspective of the people God wants us to reach. As Christians God calls us to share Him with all walks of life. How can we join in His plan to bring upon the whole world a knowledge of Jesus? Today’s study will study this question in detail.

All of us are influenced, and limited, by the assumptions of our cultures and worldviews. For us to successfully present the gospel to people who have vastly different views, homework is necessary. Homework that identifies our special bridge of common interest, allowing us to address their needs and earn their favour. We will be most successful if we’re flexible, resourceful, and open-minded in regards to new (and even unfamiliar) approaches to God’s mission. The key to our witnessing is always asking the Holy Spirit to guide us, teach us, and direct us.

Jesus gave all of His followers instructions on what our mission should be. We are to take the gospel to the world and introduce people everywhere to Jesus, giving them an opportunity to choose Him as their Saviour, and deciding to make Him lord of their lives. There is a special group of people that Jesus seems to take a unique interest in, requesting that we pay special attention to them—those around us who are in need. Today’s study will examine our ‘Mission to the Needy’.

The Christian life is one characterised by love—A love for one’s neighbour, and a love for God. At times we might neglect this calling to care for others, or it could become superficial. How can we ensure that our compassion for others is sincere and consistent? What practical ways can we love our neighbours? What lessons about kindness can we learn from the life of Jesus? Today’s study will look into this predicament.

Motivation’ is the desire or reason that propels us to do something. ‘Preparation’ involves the action of getting ready so that we can accomplish the desired outcome.

Science has found that people who are grateful are often also happier, perform better, and are more satisfied. This could be because they are naturally more positive thinkers, or their happy disposition attracts more friends and loved ones closer to them. At any rate, adopting an attitude of gratitude can improve your relationships and give you better health.

When a country is invaded throughout history, the invaded country responds in an attempt to defend its territory and defeat the enemy. Satan has invaded Earth, Jesus even called Satan ‘the ruler of this world’. Thankfully Jesus came to our world to conquer the power of evil. Although the war is not yet over, victory is certain. We humans are involved on both sides of this battle, today’s study will continue examining the armour we need in our fight against sin.

Sometimes we try to change ourselves by buying a new clothing outfit or getting a new hairstyle. When our male football stars go to a sports tribunal for an alleged on-field offence, they wear a suit and look as smart as possible. Although these outward changes don’t modify who we really are on the inside, can Jesus change us on the inside? He surely can. Today’s study will uncover good truths about radically changed lives.

On August 28, 1963, Martin Luther King Jr. stood on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech to more than 200,000 people. In that speech he said “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.” Six decades on, much of the world—sadly—still judges people purely on external appearances. Nearly 2000 years ago the apostle Paul gave the true solution for genuine brotherhood and reconciliation among people of all nations. Today’s study will discuss the solution Paul offered.
