BIBLE MATTERS: The End Times -- begins Wednesday, January 10

            We will begin a new series on Wednesday, January 10.  Our topic will be The End Times.  Class time is 6:30 PM.

           With all of the turmoil going on in the Middle East, many pastors are saying that the final prophecies of the Bible are being fulfilled.  Some will speak of the conversion of all the Jews.  Some will talk about a rapture in which Christians will be taken up into the heavens to be spared any tribulation.  Others will speak about a 1,000-year reign of Christ in Jerusalem.  Often, the order of events contradicts each other from various pastors.  What are we to believe?

We will consider how the Scriptures describe the End Times so that we can face it with both comfort and confidence and so that we will not be distracted by false teachings and promises.  

The tentative schedule is:

Jan. 10 -- God’s Word on the Future: Jesus Is Coming, but the Day and Hour are Unknown

Jan. 17 -- While We Wait for Jesus’ Return

Jan. 24 -- The Events of Judgment Day and the Judgment

Jan. 31 -- Millennialism (a 1,000 year reign of Jesus)

Feb. 7 -- Dispensationalism (Rapture and Tribulation); The Present Life in Light of Jesus’ Future Coming

           This will be the same series we have been going through on Sunday mornings, but it will be abbreviated due to limited weeks between the new year and Ash Wednesday (February 14).
