Many parents have faced the heartache of a child deciding to rebel against them, or choosing to abandon their faith. Such a child is never forgotten by a loving parent, they take every opportunity to reach out toward their loved offspring. God is like that with humanity, ‘…intentionally reaching out to us’ and, through us, to the world. Join us for today’s study as we explore the theme of God’s mission toward us.

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.

There is a spiritual battle of cosmic proportions raging all around us. This great controversy between Christ and Satan—good and evil—is fought over each person’s soul, and everybody must choose a side. Christians are called to stand bravely for Christ and His cause, in His strength, and with His armour. Today’s Bible study will reveal this.

There is a sharp contrast between worldly wisdom and values, and Godly wisdom and values. The Apostle Paul uses darkness and light to illustrate this contrast. Christians are called to come out of this world’s darkness and walk in God’s love, light and wisdom. Today’s Bible study today will expand upon this concept.

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.

What do you look for when choosing a church? A convenient location, a friendly atmosphere, good children’s programs, or inspiring worship? If you could make your church better, what would you do? Like any other church, the Ephesians had their fair share of problems. Today’s study will explore the Apostle Paul’s wise counsel to the church in Ephesus.

From age to age God reveals new things about Himself, new truths that are especially relevant to those living in each age. What fresh insights enabled the apostle Paul to fulfil his God-given calling, and what can we learn from them? Today’s study will use God’s word in Ephesians 3 to answer these vital questions.

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.

The first chapter of Ephesians describes the salvation offered not only to the believers in Ephesus, but Christians everywhere. And the first ten verses of Ephesians 2 provide an intimate glimpse of the grandest, most comprehensive rescue mission of all time: God’s redemption of humanity. There’s nothing quite as exciting as a good rescue story, so join us for this important lesson from God’s Word.

The book of Ephesians redirects our focus from the allurements of this world, toward personally experiencing God’s amazing power through the Holy Spirit. We begin to grasp, and experience, the vast scope of God’s power when we study the ongoing ministry of the risen, exalted Jesus. Join us for today’s study as we discuss this powerful topic.

The Bible reveals God’s thoughts toward us as human beings, telling of His wonderful plan to forever safeguard the universe from sin’s devastating effects. Like a golden thread, the gospel’s glorious theme is woven throughout the Bible, uniquely tying together sixty-six books, written by over thirty authors who spanned one and a half millennia. Today’s study will let God speak about the gospel in the book of Ephesians.

God used the Apostle Paul as a missionary to raise up and disciple churches in many cities. Ephesus was one of those cities. Paul’s letter to the Ephesian church contains timely counsel which blessed that church. Today’s study will uncover countless blessings today’s humanity can glean from this letter.

Our last study introduced the topic: the seal of God and the mark of the beast. This study will continue exploring that theme. Revelation (the last book in the Bible) is helpful in understanding the religious, spiritual, and political events of the end time. Today’s study will uncover biblical truths which answer the following questions: What is the seal of God? What is the Mark of the beast? And how can we be prepared for dramatic testing times ahead?

Our current series has been looking at a three-part message preparing the world for Jesus’ return. The Three Angels’ Messages of Revelation gives rise to the final climax in the long-standing war between Christ and Satan. Everyone living will eventually respond to this message, choosing one of two groups: those who follow Jesus, the Lamb; or those who follow the beast, the representative of Satan. Today's study will Let God Speak through the Bible, uncovering key characteristics of these two groups.

Ancient Babylon was the centre of apostasy—the false religious systems originated from Babylon. Its teachings permeated Egypt, Assyria, Media-Persia, Greece, and Rome, reaching down to our day. Today’s lesson will discuss two of Satan’s final deceptions which both originated in ancient Babylon, and have become mainstream teachings in many of today’s Christian churches.

Before Jesus returns, three messages are given to the world. The second of these messages is found in Revelation 14:8, which says Babylon is fallen because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication. Who is this last day Babylon that is fallen? In today’s study we let the Bible identify the characteristics of this great last day entity and why it is fallen.

Last week’s study noted the central issue in the world being worship of the Creator God. God’s power was shown through the creation of our world—as recorded in the Genesis account. The fourth of the ten commandments asks us to remember the Sabbath day for “God created the world in six days and rested on the seventh day.” Contrary to this command, some people today espouse the need for a Sabbath, rather than God’s requirement of us observing the Sabbath. How does this relate to worship and the time of the end? Join us for this study, which will answer this question.

“Why does the universe exist?”, and “where did it come from?” are two of the most fundamental questions humans can ask. Have you ever stopped and wondered what your purpose is, or pondered the meaning of life? Today’s study, entitled ‘worshiping the creator,’ will explore these deep questions.

Revelation 14:7 tells us we should ‘fear God and give glory to Him’ because ‘the hour of His Judgement has come.’ That leads directly into the topic of today’s study: When is the hour of God’s judgment, and what does God’s Judgement mean for us? Join us today's study as we look into the fascinating timing of this event.

The Bible says that each one of us, individually, will one day appear before God and be judged with eternal consequences. But this judgement is not only about us. The book of Revelation focuses on the culmination of the great controversy with Lucifer—that rebel angel who challenged the justice, fairness, and wisdom of God. Revelation’s final judgement is the very centre of this conflict over God’s character. Today’s lesson will see that the judgement vindicates not only us, but God too.

Last week, our lesson investigated the truth that God is a God of grace, and that He gave humanity a gospel of hope for the world. Today we plan to unpack the great need we have to respect and reverence God. The book of Revelation gives us a message of warning about end times; but it is also a message of hope for those who have the faith of Jesus and keep His commandments.

We live among a confused generation who are looking for answers. Through Jesus’ death as the Lamb of God, God has already solved the mystery of life.

Today we are commencing a new series of studies focusing on the Three Angels Messages of Revelation 14. As an preamble for this series, today’s study will examine Revelation 12—a chapter which summarises the great controversy raging between Christ and Satan. Although this study will reveal some of the difficult times in store for God’s followers, the Bible is clear: Jesus will be victorious over Satan, and those difficult times will be temporary. We invite you to grab your Bibles as we begin this important study.

During the past three months, we have focused on our responsibilities and privileges as stewards of God’s blessings. Today’s lesson will conclude the series by opening the Bible and examining the rewards of faithfulness. God doesn’t want us to see ‘eternal life in a perfect sinless universe’ as payment for good works. Through the Bible, God portrays eternal life as something which He longs to give to everyone. So stay and join us on our journey of discovery.

We will all face times when life's pressures become tough. It will probably get to the point where just getting out of bed to face the day seems impossible. Despite the toils of life (and the stresses and strains that come with it), God has provided a solution for true peace of mind. Today we will discuss biblical principles that become particularly important when life gets tough. So grab your Bible and join us.

As we get older, we all begin to worry more about what the future holds for our life. We think about what things we should do, what things we should avoid, and what principles we should follow so our latter years are happy and comfortable ones. Today our lesson will discuss God’s counsel regarding how we should live out our last years. So have your Bibles ready as we look into the principles that God has given us to follow.

In 1913, 26 year old Arthur Momand published a comic strip that went on to be syndicated for the next 25 years. The Comic Strip was based on his experiences trying to live in affluent Nassau County, Long Island NY. The comic strip was entitled “Keeping up with the Joneses.” That phrase is still commonly used today when striving to match your neighbours in spending and social standing. While we may smile at this phrase, at its heart, the phrase describes covetousness — a condition so deadly that God’s Ten Commandments to prohibit it. Today’s lesson will discuss that important topic.

We all want to live successful and happy lives, but what defines a successful and happy life in our sin-filled world? Is it a big house, the latest car, or a successful career? Do Christians define success the same way non-Christians do? While many consider Joseph to have been successful (going from prison to the palace and then becoming Egypt’s second in command), John the Baptist's story paints a different picture of success. He went from prison to the tomb. In today's lesson, we'll explore what success means within the context of financial principles and stewardship as taught in the Bible.

It’s a sobering fact that many people in our world are disadvantaged. Children who have lost fathers through war; those who are heavily hit by natural disasters; refugees who have fled famine or conflict; the poor, and the homeless.

Where we invest our money, our heart is sure to follow.

Money is very important in life—when we have enough, we can visit beautiful, scenic places in the world; we can enrol in fascinating academic courses; and we can complete big creative projects that people will stand back and admire. But what happens when we don’t have enough? Is going into debt the best option? It’s a very practical (and personal) question.

When we think that our Godhead (Father, Son and Holy Spirit), is the creator of the universe, the idea of giving Him something seems strange. Psalm 116 said it well: “What shall I render to the Lord for all His benefits toward me?” Or, as the New Revised Standard Version puts it, “What shall I return to the Lord for all his bounty to me?” We will Let God Speak through the Bible, and answer that question in today’s study.

It is amazing to think that the almighty God of the universe makes contracts and covenants with frail humanity! Some of those covenants were bilateral (involving two parties), and some unilateral (involving one party).

Winston Churchill understood the strength and cohesion found within a society that is built upon the family structure. As humans, we develop our characters and learn our values from our families. Each person in the family has responsibilities and obligations, and only when these are fulfilled does the family keep functioning. We are also part of God’s family, and that’s really just a bigger version of our smaller earthly family units—we learn values, we build characters, and we help each other out. Today we are commencing a new series of studies that examines God’s ideal for us as members of the heavenly family.

Our last lesson for this year is called, ‘All things New.’ When Jesus comes back to earth again, He will restore the earth to its perfect Edenic beauty—just as it was before the fall.

In this lesson we will be looking at some deceptions Satan uses in the world today. We can expect his deceptions to become more intense leading up to Jesus’ return. Until then, the Bible will guide us and prepare us for combatting the devil’s strong delusions. After all, the Bible is the only sure guide when it comes to spiritual truth.

In Mark 9:43-48 Jesus spoke about “hell fire, where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched.” Join us as we investigate whether this passage teaches of an eternally burning hellfire that torments forever and ever, or whether it teaches of a lake of fire that has irreversible consequences, totally consuming the wicked, the evil angels, and the devil in the last judgment.

Jesus told wailing mourners that Jairus’s daughter was not dead, but sleeping—then He raised her from the dead. When Lazarus was dead, Jesus told His disciples that Lazarus sleeps, and He was going to wake him up—in perhaps the most spectacular public miracle of His ministry, Jesus then raised Lazarus from the dead. These stories seem to be solid proof of Jesus teaching death is like a sleep. There are, however, other sections of scripture, which are often used to advocate for a ‘sleepless’ death and doctrines of an immortal soul. Have your Bibles ready as we investigate these contrary passages.

Martin Luther said ‘Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime’. While Jesus’ death on the cross paid the price for our sins, it is His resurrection that reassures us of our coming resurrection and deliverance from death.

God never intended that any human being should die. Sin and rebellion are responsible for that.
