What will the second coming of Jesus be like? Will it be a visible event? Will He come in bodily form? Will Jesus come personally, or will He send a representative. With so much confusion about how and when Jesus will come, can we truely be sure about anything? What does the Bible have to say on this subject? What can we know about the second coming? How can we know when it's near? What will conditions on the earth be like?
Why did so many people misunderstand Jesus' first advent? Why was he rejected by many of the religious leaders of His time? Are we today in any danger of making the same mistake that they made? What can we learn from Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem? What do Jesus' actions, when He overturned the money changers and through certain people out, teach us about Jesus? This week we explore Jesus and His entry into Jerusalem before going to the cross. We tackle these subjects from the perspective of Luke.
What is the Kingdom of God? What are it's characteristics? What did Jesus teach about this kingdom. What is required for entry? What are the two phases of this kingdom and when does each begin? Is it possible to experience the kingdom of God today? What great hope are we still looking forward to? We tackle these questions in this week's lesson as we explore the kingdom of grace and the kingdom of glory.
Christine Carter and Andrew Whitaker discuss end time events leading up to the Ultimate Deliverance: the 2nd Coming of Jesus.
Rachel, Christine, and Andrew talk about the plan of salvation: God's plan to rescue mankind. Did God always have a plan in place in case humanity would sin? Is salvation for everyone?
John Spellman preaches on preparation to meet God. Is going to Church and going through the motions of religion really enough? What did Paul mean by "form of godliness"?
What does James suggest in preparation for the Harvest? What does he mean by patience and endurance? How does this manifest itself in the way Christians relate to one another? Is the Lord delaying His coming? Why did James use the imagery of the former and latter rain? What might this imagery mean for Christians? This week we study James' views on the Second Coming of Jesus and its implications for Christian living today.
What did Jesus teach about his second coming? Why does He return to the earth? Can we know when He will come back? Can we know what to look out for? What does the Old Testament tell us about the Day of the Lord? What is the reward that Jesus brings with Him, and how is it determined who gets the reward? This week we explore the second coming of Jesus.
