How To Interpret Scripture: The Bible and Prophecy

Thu, 06/11/2020 - 08:30pm

Language English

How can we understand Bible prophecy? What is the historicist approach? How do we know when to apply the day-year principle? What is the difference between symbols and typology? How did Bible writers and key Biblical figures, including Jesus, demonstrate belief in these principles of interpretation? How do they help us understand the times we live in today?

James On: Love and the Law

James had a lot to say about love and law. He corrects the church, rebuking the partiality and favoritism of the wealthy while many neglected the poor. James discusses how partiality transgresses the law of love. But how? Is there more to the law than we understand at surface value? Does the fairness with which we treat each other impact our keeping of God's Commandments? Can a person keep the Commandments yet not care for the poor? Can one be a Commandment keeper and be wealthy? What does love have to do with God's Law and justice. We explore these topics this week.

The Least of These: A Community of Servants

How is the church to serve the community? Is there a difference between acts of compassion and preaching the gospel in the context of the 3rd angel’s message? Or do both go together? How should members of the church treat one another? Why? How can we better be unified and work together? How does justice, grace, and love tie in to all that we do?

Lost Day Of History

The Bible teaches about a day lost in history. A day God designed for us to remember. This week's lesson uncovers the mystery of this forgotten and lost day.

The Voice Of God

After He departed Earth, Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit who speaks to us in softer tones. Amid the hustling and bustling of life, He still speaks. If you listen closely, you will hear Him say, “This is the way, walk ye in it.” As you train your ear to listen and your heart to obey, the voice of God will become clearer to you. His will for your life will be revealed; and when in obedience you follow His guidance, you will come to trust His leading.

Triumph Over The Code

The Code justified my actions, instead of condemning me. The incident happened more than a decade ago but it still serves as reference point for many things. I was a young driver who had received strict advice from a friend that I should thoroughly know the Jamaican Road Code and drive by it. I took his advice literally and was very proud in holding my own on the streets. One day the police, with flashing lights tried to pull me over in a very deep corner.

A Fair Advantage, The Holy Spirit Is Here

The Comforter wasn’t just for the disciples back them – He is for us today as well! As parents, we can rest assured that our kids will continue to hold onto the faith that we instilled in them, while they were home. We can draw comfort from God’s words that they will not depart from the training given; that Jesus Christ will become even dearer to them in this their period of separation from home.
