Complete Four Views of the End Times DVD-based Small Group Study Kit

What do you know about the End Times?

Contemporary movies and many books both Christian and secular seek to provide answers about the End Times. Much of what is seen and heard is mere speculation with the terms used seeming to have whatever meaning the author decided they would have.

The Complete Four Views of the End Times DVD-based Small Group Study Kit - Six Sessions published by Rose Publishing provides Biblical definitions of the End Time terms while laying out clearly the four different views of the End Times within Christianity. Many of the questions about the rapture, second coming, tribulation and the millennium are addressed as well.

I was impressed with author Dr. Timothy Paul Jones ability to explain each view without hinting at his own view. His clear concise explanation of the terminology and events within Church History, that may have influenced that view, made it easy to follow. He presents what many offer as complicated if not sometimes contorted ideas, in a way that puts these teachings in a useable and easy to understand format.

The leaders and participant’s guides listed the terms with definitions, which make it fun to participate in the video teaching. The Leader’s guide also has a ‘Digging Deeper’ section that provides additional information and study resources. The Power Point presentation provides all of the teaching material and additional flexibility for the presentation of these materials. I also love the full color 14 panel-laminated pamphlet included in the kit, which concentrates the information in an easy to use and review format.

Once again Rose publishing, which provided me with a review copy, has done an outstanding job of in producing this high quality and useful resource for individual, small group or church study.

Gun safety vs Gun control

Which would you choose? With all the talk of gun control it seems we are choosing gun control even though it has proven not to work statistically, so why not look into other options such as Gun safety.

*Gun safety teaches you how to handle, store and use a gun so that no one gets hurt, except when you are defending yourself and then the bad guy gets it not you.

* Gun control sets up a system which allows thugs, criminals and oppressive governments to have guns and innocent people get killed because they have no way of protecting themselves..

For nearly 2000 years, Christians have wondered when will Christ return again. When he ascended into heaven, his disciples asked about the timing. The scriptures have many passages that refer to this important event. In this study, we'll explore what the Bible actually says about the end times that lead to the return of Jesus Christ. The differing ideas that divide believers into four major points-of-view are examined in this Four Views of the End Times DVD-based Small Group Study. This new six-week study shows four different Revelation time lines and tackles Dispensational Premillennialism, Postmillennialism, Historic Premillennialism, and Amillennialism. For each view, the study includes a definition, supporting Scriptures, a time line of the view’s popularity, and a sampling of Christian leaders supporting that view. Common questions and answers are handled as part of each session, so you don’t need to be the expert. Rose Publishing

Walking Out The Vision and Plan of the Lord

Today are you seeking God before each encounter or step in His plans for you? Do you know His strategy and timing for each encounter?

Today we are overwhelmed by what everyone is telling us the Lord is saying or doing. There is no shortage of books, conferences or web-cast.

God however, has another way for He desires to have an ongoing encounter with us to give us His specific strategy and timing for the assignments He has for us.

Joshua and the people of Israel were victorious in battle when they sought God's direction and strategy before every encounter or battle. Josh 5:13-15 highlights Joshua’s encounter with the Commander of the Lord’s army. Joshua’s question “What does my lord say to his servant?” is what we need to know more than anything else.

When you examine the pattern set out for Israel you will see consecration, humility, and encounter with God, then obedience to His plan are the steps to victory.

Without these Israel was defeated at AI, entered into covenant alliances that were not of God and failed to take all of the land before Joshua’s death.

This will require you to spend significant time with God in adoration of His majesty. It will require you to not glory in your victories, gifts, status or call but in Him alone. 1Chr. 29:11 “Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all.”

God has the plan, power, provision and alliances which when initiated in His timing will bring forth the results that He desires. 

Feasts of the Bible Pamphlet

Feasts of the Bible - Jewish Roots of Believers in Yeshua (Jesus)
Throughout the Old Testament, God commanded the children of Israel to observe his holy days (holidays) to remember the mighty things that he had done in the lives of Israel's forefathers. The Feasts of the Bible pamphlet celebrates and explains the meaning behind the different feasts and why they are important to God. Feasts of the Bible contains an easy-to-read chart that provides each holiday's name, explanation, date of observance, and symbolic meaning pointing to Jesus as the promised Messiah. 
12 panels, fits inside most Bibles, 8.5 x 5.5 inches, unfolds to 33 inches long

Why should you learn about the Hebrew roots of Christianity?

As a Jew, Jesus celebrated these feasts and holidays each year. The pamphlet is an excellent tool to learn about the Jewish roots of Christianity and to discover Yeshua, "Jesus," in each "holy day." The pamphlet shows the Hebrew name, spelling, pronunciation, symbolism of Jesus, Bible references, and New Testament fulfillment for each of God's appointed feasts:

• Passover (Pesach)
• Unleavened Bread (Hag HaMatzot)
• Firstfruits (Yom HaBikkurim)
• Feast of Weeks or Pentecost (Shavuot)
• Feast of Trumpets or Rosh HaShanah (New Year)
• Day of Atonement or Yom Kippur
• Tabernacles or Sukkot (Feast of Booths)
• Rejoicing in the Law or Torah (Simchat)
• Feast of Dedication or Hanukkah (Chanukah or Feast of Lights)
• Feast of Lots or Purim

The Feasts of the Bible pamphlet provides important insights into the works of God on behalf of his chosen people. Feasts of the Bible is a celebration of the rich and meaningful heritage given to believers through Christ. The pamphlet reveals insightful and historical facts about each of the holidays; for example -

• Passover: A hymn is usually sung at the end of the Passover service, as was the case with Jesus and his disciples during the Last Supper (Matthew 26:30).
• During the Rosh HaShanah synagogue services, the shofar (ram's horn) is blown 100 times.
• Hanukkah is known as the Feast of Lights or the Feast of Dedication because of a legendary miraculous provision of oil for the eternal light in the Temple.
• Purim marks the deliverance of the Jews through Queen Esther.

Feasts of the Bible also includes additional fascinating facts about the feasts of the Bible; for instance:

• Leviticus 23 is sometimes called "God's calendar of redeeming grace" because the 44 verses tell of God's redemptive plan.
• God told Moses that seven of the feasts were to be "appointed feasts of the Lord" and were to be proclaimed as sacred assemblies (Leviticus 23:1 & 2).
• Three of the feasts were pilgrimage feasts.

Feasts of the Bible is a fantastic teaching tool for churches and groups who want to explore their Jewish heritage found in Christ. Believers will also find the observance of the feasts and holidays as a meaningful way to add depth to their devotion to God.

There's a small group DVD-based curriculum to go with this pamphlet. Click here (or go to FeastsOfTheBible.com) to see sample videos, sample sessions from the leader and participant guides, and to find out more about the Feasts of the BibleDVD-based study.
