Introduction: This quarter we turn our attention to the topic "Pillars of our Faith." These studies should make for interesting discussions. What one person considers a "pillar" may be viewed by another as a non-essential fence. As usual, we will take a careful look at...

Introduction: The Lord's Day? The Sabbath? Does God call on us to rest one day of the week? If He does, does it matter which one? Speaking of "one," should we being keeping all days "holy?" Maybe all our time is now holy because we now live in the "Sabbath rest" era of...

Introduction: Last week we started our series of three lessons on the Sabbath. We studied the issue of which day is the Sabbath and why it is important. We concluded that "to walk humbly with our God" means that we should just obey Him when He tells us what He expects. Th...

Introduction: If I asked you to describe a specific man or woman, would you do it by saying what that person is not? "She is not short, not fat, not blond, not beautiful, not dark and not big boned." Would that description help? Wouldn't you rather have a positive descrip...

Introduction: The book of Revelation is generally considered to be a book of "last day" events. Among those events is a message from God brought by three angels. This week, we turn our attention to the important message of the first angel. Let's jump in! The Messeng...

Introduction: This week we have more angels with a message! Last week we studied the message of the first angel of Revelation 14 and this week we continue our study by considering the messages of the second and third angels. Let's jump into our study! The Second An...

Introduction: Next to the question of "Where did we come from?" is the question, "Where do we go after we die?" The older you get, the more interest you would logically have in the second question. There is much confusion today about the Biblical answer, so let's dive in...

Introduction: Have you ever asked yourself, "How do I know Jesus was God?" "Why would God die on the cross?" Is there a link between Jesus and the God of the Old Testament? I have a dear Jewish friend who tells me (with a smile) that Christians have "hijacked" his rel...

Introduction: Last week our study was the sanctuary built by Moses in accordance with a "pattern" given to him by God. We learned that this "pattern" was an actual sanctuary that presently exits in heaven! We also learned that the sacrificial system of the earthly sanctua...

Introduction: Would you want to be hauled before a court? I assume not! We hate to have to go to court even on routine traffic charges. On the other hand, when we have a controversy with someone else that we cannot resolve, we want to have the right to go to a c...

Introduction: God has a history of working through a people He selected. For example, in the Old Testament we see God working through Noah, then Abraham and then Israel. Jesus worked through His 12 disciples. Is there a select group today through which God works? If so,...

Introduction: Are you looking forward to Jesus coming a second time to take you to heaven? Do you want Him to end the problems in your life and the sin problem in general? Are you beginning to wonder if this will ever happen? Is there some way to know when Jesus will come...

Introduction: Last week we discussed the end times and ended with Jesus' Second Coming. This week we continue with our look at the Second Coming. How can we be sure Jesus is coming again? Why does He delay? What will it be like when He comes? Let's jump into our study an...
