This (rather lengthy) series grew out of the previous study on the Shemitah and Blood Moon Tetrad. During one of our discussion times in class, one of the members asked, “If this stuff is possibly true, what should we do about it? How should we prepare?” And that question of how we could be ready for the possible return of Christ drove us to the Scripture to answer that question. There are five overarching questions that came out of trying to discover how to be ready.
What are the signs of the end?
How to be ready?
What do you do when told to deny Christ?
Should we be preppers?
What should we do if our government tells us we can’t obey God?
Here are the (again, rather lengthy – 25 pages!) notes from the study, but be warned that even as lengthy as they are, there are many important things that do not come out clearly in the notes, but are clear in the audio recordings. So, please listen to them if you can. Especially if you’re trying to deal seriously with any of these very timely questions.
Also, as quickly becomes clear in the audio recordings, you will understand many of the references much better if you join us and read the book, Killing Christians, by Tom Doyle. This lesson series is in no way a book study, but that book certainly illuminates many of the topics we discuss and provides relevant background examples, and is otherwise a fantastic book every Christ-follower should read.
Further, the book, Do Love, by Andrew Rankin provides great background for the practical application of how we should be living in the light of the Scriptures we study here.
For most children, their father will be one of the two greatest influences in their entire lives. Whether that influence is positive or maximized depends upon choices the father makes.
This lesson looks at the impact a father can have on his children by having a great lifelong influence.
(Yes, the lesson had at least two more sections I was planning to add, but decided to go to another topic before finishing it.)
This is a refresh of a study we did a number of years ago, timed for the tax deadline in the US. It is made up of a number of diagnostic questions, most of which are not matters of sin, but could indicate that something is out of line in the area of finance, and that one may not be experiencing God’s best for their lives. The central theme is one of trust in God.
This lesson lists a number of spiritual disciplines and encourages parents not only to incorporate them into their own lives, but also to focus on the spiritual formation of their children.
This study is mainly a compilation of biblical passages about marriage. The material includes a worksheet that can be printed and used for group study by assigning a different passage to each group and allowing them to discover the marriage-relevant instruction themselves.
Zip file containing two lessons identifying first our desperate need for Messiah and then exposing His work on the Cross and how it addressed each of our needs. More serious and theological. The second lesson was one of the more meaningful of all of the lessons I’ve taught.
Zip file containing four lessons exposing the wiles of the enemy in our families. The first lesson is an overview, the second looks at how the devil can use worldly friends, the third covers common temptations faced by different family members, and the fourth reveals how even unwitting or past occult activities can open the door to the enemy.
This lesson is in response to a poll by George Barna showing that only 9% of christians in America hold a set of biblical beliefs that would be the starting point of a biblical world view. I attempt to provide biblical support for each of the beliefs.
