So, let’s get started!  I hope you will follow along as I lead a Bible study group through Looking for the Blessed Hope. Below is the description of the study, and I will do my best to provide nuggets from our study each week!  The study actually starts live on Thursday night and I look forward to sharing the study virtually with all of you!

 …looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus.

Titus 2:13

Arab Spring…nuclear ambitions…pre-emptive strikes…severe catastrophes around the globe…economic collapses…rampant increase in ungodliness…one world order. Today’s headlines are clear indication that Bible prophecy is being fulfilled right before our very eyes! No one knows the day or the hour, but we are exhorted to understand the times in which we live. How well do we understand these times?

What in the world is going on in the Middle East? Are these events good or bad? Will Iran fulfill their nuclear ambitions? Will Israel launch a pre-emptive strike? What about Israeli-Palestinian peace talks? Why all the fuss about Israel? Should we be concerned about Islam? What lies ahead, and should we fear? To get it right, we must keep our eyes on Israel…God’s chosen land and God’s chosen people…and peer through the lens of Scripture.

Looking for the Blessed Hope will put our focus squarely on Israel and, when viewed through Scriptural glasses, will lead us to discover answers for ourselves. Most importantly we will be challenged (perhaps in a few surprising ways) to trust God and His Word as we face the future.

So, jump on board with us as we cruise historical and prophetic destinations! Here’s a glimpse of our itinerary:
