"I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord"  Psalm 122:1

The Beginning of the End

The cartoon character holds a sign saying, “The End Is Near.” For Christians, this is not a message of fear. Instead, it is a message of watchful hope. Scripture teaches that the End Times began with Christ’s first coming, especially his death and resurrection. Christ will come again on judgment day. Now we live in that in-between time, when salvation has been won, but full glory is still to come. It’s the beginning of the end.

Jesus himself makes clear that no one knows the day or hour of his return. This uncertainty is not meant to trouble us, but to keep us spiritually awake. Each day becomes an opportunity to live in repentance and faith, turning from sin and trusting fully in Christ’s finished work for us.

Our preparation for the end is not about trying to predict signs or earn God’s favor. Instead, it is about remaining rooted in Jesus: hearing the Word, receiving the sacraments, and trusting the promises of forgiveness. These are God’s ways of keeping us ready.

“The Beginning of the End” reminds us that history is moving toward our own death and toward Christ’s return. For believers, that end is truly a beginning.

"Equipped to speak the truth in love." 

We will take a look at topics and teachings in the Bible that are sometimes difficult to understand and defend in our world that grows more and more ungodly. We'll seek to understand these teachings for ourselves and then discuss how we can share them lovingly in an unloving world. Here is a list of the first few topics:

- Too many opinions out there
- Baptized in water
- One man/one woman
- Submit to the authorities
- Close communion
- The roles of men and women
- Decision theology
