Our discussions for the week will be centered in Hebrews 10:22-25. We will look at the question "are we ready and are we prepared". The hope Paul was chained to and we have chained ourselves to. We will discuss Christ's victories and our sharing in those victories. Time permitting, we will discuss God's watchmen, the people's attitude towards the watchmen's message and how that attitude compares to the warning signs today.
Bro. Phil Kapusta
This class will present a biblical and historical examination of antisemitism within Christianity over the last twenty centuries, and explore why after the fourth century A.D., mainstream Christianity became the greatest persecutor of the Jews for more than a millennium, along with the surprising role that the New Testament had in fueling Jew-hatred. The final class will review Christadelphian history, highlighting our community's treatment of the contemporary descendants of Abraham.
Bro. Jerry Markwith
This class is a discussion on how and why to invest money based on Biblical principles, Our discussion topics will include subjects such as : Faith vs Risk, Diversification vs Concentration, How to Spend Money, and a Scarcity vs Abundance Mindset amongst other topics. The keynote verse for our class is Proverbs 30:8-9. Should you invest in the stock market or play it "safe"? This class will compare and contrast common investing principles with what the Bible says concerning how we handle our money.

In Genesis Chapter 49, Jacob is old and full of days and gathers his 12 sons together one last time to share a vison......a prophecy regarding what would become the 12 tribes of Israel in the last days. As Jacob shares this prophecy with his sons/their descendants, he also shares unique blessings and coursings that coincide with each of their names. Before we examine what Jacob shares with his 12 sons, we are gong to go back briefly in time to talk about what has taken place in scripture that leads us as Bible students up to Genesis 49, Even though there is family disfunction, God is working in the lives of the descendants of Jacob to fulfill His will/plan and purposes while continuing His plan of salvation through the descendants of the men of promise: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. As we make our way through the class and as time allows, we will also consider the theme of "What is in a Name." and look at the importance of Yahweh's name, the name of his son Jesus Christ, and perhaps even take a look at the names we have been given by our earthly parents. What shall befall us in these last days as Bible students?

More than 24 bible prophecies which point to the exact biblical year of the Messiah's first and second comings. You may remember those who were ready and waiting at the temple when Jesus' mother took him for the first time. How did they know he would be born at that time? And, if the prophecies that predicted his first coming were accurate and able to be understood, would it not be reasonable to expect the same degree of confidence in predicting his second coming?
There are many prophecies throughout the scriptures that hint to the time of the return of Christ. Why haven't believers been able to decipher these scriptures to know exactly when Jesus will return like he and his Father promised? Some say we aren't supposed to know when the return will be! But in Daniel 12:9-10, after revealing much of the future to Daniel through signs and symbols, the angel says, ..."Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand." As we witness prophecies get fulfilled, and world events rush headlong to that triumphant return of Jesus, more opportunities arise to help us understand the meaning of these prophecies and to decipher the time of the return of Jesus. This week we will discuss many prophecies that give us times and seasons that point us to the "Day of the Lord", some obvious and many less obvious. Our goal this week is to go through each one of these prophecies to show and reinforce the 7000-year timeline in the scriptures and especially to focus on the return date of our Messiah. I Thess. 5:4-6 says, "But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober."

Our Lord Jesus can easily be competing for priority space in our thoughts and actions as we live our busy and demanding lives. It was the same for many of the early Jewish Christians who found themselves sliding back into familiar and 'comfortable' ways of thinking. The law of Moses, earning salvation, the greatness of many characters in the Old Testament were crowding out the all-consuming light of the Sun of Righteousness that they had committed their whole lives to following through faith! We need to be shook awake, as these Christians did, with the message found in the book of Hebrews. By FAITH we will look to unpack this amazing letter of soaring prose, eloquent wisdom, overwhelming arguments - all to ensure that Jesus, the author and originator of our faith, is properly set as the pinnacle of God's plan and our High Priest who is able to sympathize with our weaknesses and save us to the UTTERMOST!
