God has a special message proclaimed through His end time people. A message of warning about His judgment. Does God's judgment take place before or after the second coming? How does God know whom to give His reward to? What is this special warning message that must go to all the world? What does it have to do with the investigative phase of the final judgment? Why is it that only the Church gets judged? What will happen to the wicked? These questions and more are explored in this week's lesson.

How did Jesus' teachings portray the Great Controversy? In what way did Jesus describe the struggle between good and evil? How can we have rest in Jesus? In what ways does He lighten our burdens?

How does it portray the struggle between good and evil? What kind of ground best represents you and I? What did Jesus teach about foundations? How can we make Him our rock?

Regardless of how difficult things may be in our lives, or how much evil seems to be prevalent, God has a plan to rid the world of evil. He promises a new heaven and a new earth where suffering, death, pain, and evil are no longer in existence. How will God rid the world of evil? Can we trust God to be fair in the judgment? What takes place in the 3 phases of the judgment? Which judgment takes place before the return of Christ? Will the righteous experience the 7 last plagues? Why would God send plagues on the earth? Will Satan be able to tempt God's people during the 1000 years?

John Spellman preaches on the 7th church of Revelation. What is Jesus' message to the church of our time? How does Jesus introduce Himself to the church of our time in a unique manner that addresses the unique problems and challenges of today? Jesus: the amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God calls the church to recognize its true condition. As a forest of trees would be unstable and unsafe if each of those trees was not rooted in the soil, so today God's people must be rooted in Jesus and anchored in truth.

How did Jesus show sympathy, compassion, mercy, empathy, pity, and genuine concern for people during the course of His earthly ministry? How can Christians do the same in the world we live in today? Is the God of the Old Testament less compassionate than the God of the New Testament? How can we understand God's compassion in acts of judgment? What does the Old Testament show us about God's reaction to human suffering? Does God ignore human suffering, or does it impact Him? Why is it important for Christians to learn to walk in the shoes of others?

How does faith play a role in the survival of God's people?

What motivated Job to fear God? Was it from a place of love, trust, and appreciation? Or did Job only serve God for what he could obtain from God? What are our reasons for serving God? Why does God permit His people to be tested in faith? Why were Satan’s accusations against Job made in a public forum? How did Job’s triumph discredit Satan? How did Jesus ultimately discredit the lies of the devil? How did Job succeed where Adam and Eve fell short? Can we trust God in times of hardship and adversity?

As Jewish people celebrate the feast of Sukkot, Christians should be reminded of what it meant and what it pointed to in prophecy? What if I told you it had a hidden meaning that was significant for our time today? Was the feast of Tabernacles only a commemoration of freedom from Egyptian bondage? Or was there something it pointed to in the prophetic future and the ministry of Jesus? Why did God want the people to dwell in booths? We will take a brief look at salvation history as good and evil struggle for custody of humanity in the Great Controversy.

How do Job’s 3 friends Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar attempt to comfort him? What kind of advice to they give? What can we learn from their experience about comforting those who go through tragedy? Is sin always the reason for bad things that happen? Do we always know why people go through difficult experiences? Does God always punish sin? Are there Biblical examples of divine retribution? Is there a point at which people have gone too far?

Our time on earth is limited. Days are numbered! And because days are numbered, we have to live for what really matters and not waste time on the things that don’t. Some people learn that lesson the hard way, spending their entire lives and the majority of their time on what means nothing! Often, when they realize it, it’s too late.
