Let God Speak

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.

Recently there have been big things happening in the world. Big things have happened, and bigger things are on the horizon. What’s going on? How should we prepare for the future? Thankfully, God’s book is always a step ahead. Join us as we open God's word with these questions in mind.

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. Does the Bible speak to their circumstances? Did Jesus counsel us to act from a loving heart? Join us as we open the Bible and discuss this important topic.

Where we invest our money, our heart is sure to follow. This is why Jesus advises us not to store our treasure on earth, but rather in heaven, where our affections, commitments, and loyalties are best directed.

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. But does God promise to make ‘all things new’ before Jesus’ second coming? Let’s investigate God making ‘all things new’ throughout the Old and New Testaments of the Bible.

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. Like the pristine, springtime leaf, there will come a time when we will arise with glorious new bodies fit to spend eternity with Jesus—our loving Saviour.

God never intended that any human being should die. Sin and rebellion are responsible for that. Jesus came to this earth, and was born of Mary specifically to die—not for himself though, but for all of us.

The desire to live is built into our DNA. Although we do everything we can to extend the length of our lives, eventually we age and die. Intriguingly the Bible records a select group of people who died and were raised back to life. One was raised to eternal life, while others had their earthly mortal lives restored. Today’s study will discuss those who lived, died, and were resurrected prior to Jesus’ death on the cross.

Discussing human nature—are we naturally destined to die, or do we naturally live forever?Our souls—are they immortal? When God warned Adam and Eve that sin would lead to death, did He really mean it, or was Satan correct in claiming that Adam and Eve would not die?

God created a perfect world without sin, evil, violence, insecurity, sickness, or death. This beautiful reality was quickly tarnished through sin entering the world by Adam and Eve’s disobedience. Thankfully the Creator God had a solution to sin and death—He sent a Promised Seed. We will uncover and learn more about this in today’s Bible study.

It is a tragic fact that death is seen all over the Earth. Whether the leaves that fall from the trees, the flowers that fade in our vases, the cuddly pets who die, or our loved ones who pass away. Our world is full of suffering and unwiped tears. There is, however, hope! God has promised a future world of perfection with no more tears, pain, or death. Today’s study commences a new series looking at God’s plan to solve the problem of sin and death, bringing the world back to its original perfect condition.

In this series we have been discussing the impact of trials and suffering on our lives. We have looked at people in the Bible who radiated in faith, yet nevertheless faced despair, betrayal, disappointment, loss, injustice, and abuse. We examined how they coped, what they learnt, and most importantly, what we can learn from them. To conclude the series, we will review the trials and suffering Jesus experienced in His life. Have your Bibles ready as we look into this incredible story, and learn how Jesus’ experiences demonstrate the most amazing love toward us.

It seems to be a rule of life that service to others matters. Parents give up serving themselves to raise the next generation, plants give up life to meet the needs of insects, animals, and humanity. Are there similar parallels in the spiritual realm too? Must we give up selfish interests to gain eternal life? Must we – in a sense – die to live? Please follow along as we find out more.

This week’s lesson is about waiting while in the crucible. We have a choice while we’re in a crucible; we can try to implement our own solution (and probably make matters worse), or we can patiently wait for God to fix the problem in His own timing. Most people keep trying the first option. Please join us as we investigate examples of these two options throughout the Bible.

Modern culture promotes such personal qualities as assertiveness, self-confidence, and self-promotion. This is so you can acquire want you want now without waiting. Modern day heroes are not meek. Qualities like humility and patience seem so weak and old fashioned. But are they? In today’s study we will discuss how meekness is not a weakness, but rather a strength for the Christian. We are also going to look into the relationship between suffering and meekness, and how meekness during suffering can be a powerful witness.

One of Christianity’s great paradoxes is singing and praising God while facing suffering and death. How did the martyrs sing hymns of praise while perishing in the flames? Praising God while in the crucible of suffering is thus possible when we train ourselves to live a continuous—rather than occasional—life of praise. Today’s study will discuss praise for God and how it is a powerful spiritual weapon in difficult circumstances. Join us as the Bible reveals how praise not only transforms us, but also witnesses to those around us.

The following truth may sound strange, but what we can see is often only transitory—it does not last. God is invisible, yet eternal. The forces of evil are out of sight, yet no less real. A degree of faith is required to accept the reality of the divine. That amount of faith carries us through the bad times as well as the good. That kind of Christian faith, however, is not blind. It is rooted in sound evidences. Join us as we look at those sound evidences.

God offers us indestructible hope during our crucibles. The Apostle Paul even gloried in his tribulations, writing (in Romans 5:3-4) tribulations produce patience, patience produces experience, and experience produces hope.
