Good Evening Brethren,

I trust that this email finds you well. Please find attached, the Bible Study Outline for this Sunday’s study on the topic “Signs of the Times” with scriptural reference from 1 Timothy 4:1-16, 2 Timothy 3:1-8. In keeping with our Quarter’s theme, “The Urgency of the Last Days“, it is a sober reminder of the moral decadence and abject rejection of the ways of God that will characterize the end times. We already see this happening.

 Key Learnings:

1. Pride, deceit and godlessness are some of the attitudes that will characterize men in the last days.

 2. ⁠Also, man’s spirituality will have a form of godliness that denies the power of God and he will be distracted by the study of demons and deceiving spirits.

3. Because of how slippery the spiritual landscape will become in the last days, God invites us to be grounded in His word, in living exemplary lives in terms of holiness, righteousness, love, and in boldly teaching the truth.

In the words of Apostle Paul to the church at Ephesus:

“Finally my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armour of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil” – Ephesians 6:10-11 NKJV.

Yours in Christ,

Brethren,

Good evening. I trust this email finds you well.

Welcome to the last quarter of the year. And fittingly, we shall be considering as our quarter theme- The urgency of the Last Days. Fitting because, as our topic for this Sunday shows, the signs of Jesus’ second coming are all over the place.

Key Learning points of the study are:
1. Adverse world events form one of the signs Jesus gave as a signal to His coming. Matt 24:6-7, 15-21 These include:
a. Wars and rumors of wars,
b. Nations rising against nations (most of them are already happening)
2. Another sign of His coming is deception Matt 24:4-5, 11-12:
a. Many will come in His name deceiving people (as we have even now)
b. Increasing embrace of false teaching.
c. Increase in hatred of and persecution of believers, as we are seeing even in previously ‘Christian friendly’ nations.
3. A positive sign in all this is that the gospel will continue to be preached (Matt 24:14; Philippians 1:28)
a. We do this because we do not know the day or the hour.
b. We do it because we know we are on the winning side.
c. We need to keep working to save as many as possible.

See attached outline for your further reference.

See you on Sunday.
