Church Of The Apostles- Dawsonville, Ga

The Day of the LORD and the Glorious Hope: What about the dead in Christ? What does Jesus' second coming look like? How do we live in light of all this?

An exposition and explanation of the depth and significance of the apostle Paul's statement: Live=Christ; Die=Gain.

Hebrews was written as a letter to Jewish believers early in the history of the Church. The letter urges them not to return to religious processes for the atonement that only Christ gives. This speaks to our reliance today on piety and works rather than submitting to the totality and completeness of the work of Jesus.

How God's Holy Spirit moved in the early Church, spreading the Gospel, changing the world. Our calling is to tell and spread the Gospel. His Spirit and the assuredness of His Truth should lead us to live for it and prepare us to die for it.

The Resurrection: How it completes the promises of the Old Testament; what it means to us at the moment we receive it; and what it means we should do going forward.

Why did the Christ come to die? Why did He have to? We address the character of God and atonement for sin by answering these questions: How does the world see the cross? What is really happening? Why is this the most important moment ever?

The true Kingdom of God (spiritual) will look different from the earthly kingdom the Jews expected. This Kingdom will begin with a humble Savior; with a Lord willing to condescend and die for His people--this, no one expects.

God is sovereign. The LORD God Almighty works in all things, doing them by His design; at times using difficult experiences to amplify the arrival of His redemption. History speaks of this.

Discussing foretellings of Christ's first and second coming--why these are relevant to us, and why the coming of His light and truth is so important.

God's promise to Israel amid tumultuous times: "I will give you a new heart."

Biblical guidelines and examples for discipleship: How do we do discipleship? What does it look like? Why do we do it that way?

The implications of celebrating the Lord's Supper.

What is baptism biblically? Why do we do it? What is it for? What does it do and not do?

Church membership is important. Here, we take a biblical look at it and see why God has said it is vital for our walk as believers. These are matters of membership, and they do matter.

Israel is returning from exile in Babylon. Ezra and Nehemiah read scripture to the people and teach them, and the people react with conviction. How was the Word preached in Scripture? How should we do it today?

Continuing through the Old Testament as we study through the overview of the Bible: Ezekiel. What does the Bible say about generational sin? What is it, and how do we interpret/misinterpret sin, consequence, grace and the gift of a new heart?

Perspective: A prophecy to Israel to see her God clearly; to behold Him in His might, yet to see His coming mercy. This application and scripture speaks to us to see Him clearly and allow His perspective and sovereignty to reign in our lives.

Solomon's slow descent toward a deeply divided heart--the story and practical application. God desires our affections and knows that His affections toward us are all that will satisfy us.

As we've been going through the whole Bible this year, we have reached the accounts of King David. At this time, we look at his writing in Psalm 139 and realize how intimately, how completely God knows us. This is, at first scary, but then serves to help illustrate the depth of His unconditional love.

Truths of how arrogance and failure to continually submit to the LORD can lead to the consequence of not being a usable vessel for His work--Saul's example of this cautions us in many situations, even today.
