John Spellman speaks on the story of Joseph and storing up resources for times of famine. In this practical Bible story we can learn a lot with regard to finances and investing, but what about our spiritual investment? How do we prepare for a spiritual famine in which God's Word becomes scarce and unheeded?

In life we experience many changes. What does the Bible say about marriage, raising children, getting old, and preparing for death? How can we prepare for the major changes life has for us? How can knowing God impact the manner in which we go through these changes?

Life is often filled with choices? Whom to follow, whom to be friends with, whom to marry. The people closest to us often have great influence over our lives. How can we be sure we’ve made great choices in fiends, advisors, or counselors? How can we choose to do the right thing? Does God control our choices? What does it mean to have free choice or free will? What is a free moral agent?

This quarter we start a new series on family and relationships? Did God create man for relationships? Is there an order to life and to all things in Creation? What did Solomon mean when he talked about the different times and seasons for purposes under heaven? What patterns, changes, and cycles do we experience in life and also around us?

Why do some people push others away in order to avoid pain? Do relationships require risk? What does the Bible say about taking risks in building relationships? Is it healthy to shut people out of our lives or assume that they will hurt us even before they've ever done so?

John Spellman preaches at Babylon SDA Church discussing the why difficult things can happen in a Christian's life? Should we be afraid of hardship? Why does God allow it?

What are the 7 last plagues and how do they compare with the 10 plagues of Egypt? What are the similarities between the rebellion of Pharaoh and the Egyptians compared to that of the wicked in the end times? Will people repent once the plagues fall? Will God’s judgments be fair? Will God’s people be on earth during the time of these plagues? How will they be protected?

How did Satan persecute the church during the 1,260 years? What is represented by the first beast in Revelation 13? How does this beast connect with the prophecies of Daniel and the blasphemy against the tabernacle? What power is represented by the land beast of Revelation 13 that has characteristics of a lamb and a dragon? What do these things mean in relation to end time events and Bible prophecy?

The end of the story of Ruth and Boaz shows us how God often has a plan that we often can't see until we look back at how he has led us. Often God provides for us through the advice and wisdom of God fearing people He sends into our lives. Many feel alone because they don't have people close to them that can give them good counsel. What kind of people do you have in your life? Do you have friends that don't tell you what you want to hear? Can love look like correction?

How does God provide for us at times when we feel alone? Does God sometimes use people to bless us in times of need? Do we sometimes go through suffering without realizing and seeing how God is leaving us examples of His love to sustain us? How does the story of Ruth and Naomi help us to see how God is ever-present when we feel most alone?
