Welcome to our small group study! John Barnett here. I want you to imagine we are sitting right across the table from each other with our Bibles open and our notebooks ready. Today, I am incredibly excited to pitch to you a class that takes all the massive prophetic truths we’ve been learning and distills them into personal, daily life change.
If you want to move beyond just learning facts about the end times and start experiencing God’s transforming power in your heart today, you absolutely must join us for this lesson. Here is a challenge for the life-changing truths we are going to uncover together:
1. The Triad of Christ: Creator, Redeemer, and Coming King
Scripture References: Psalms 22, 23, and 24; Genesis 1; John 1; Colossians 1; Hebrews 1.
Summary of What’s Covered: We kick off the class by looking at how a simple sequence of three chapters—Psalms 22, 23, and 24—actually summarizes the entire message of the Bible. We will see Jesus as the Creator who is crucified in Psalm 22, the Redeemer seeking and saving the lost in Psalm 23, and the ultimate King of Glory returning to judge all the earth in Psalm 24. Understanding that you were designed by Him, bought for Him, and are ultimately answerable to Him answers the greatest questions of your existence.
2. The Heart of Devotion: Moving From Prophecy to Purity
Scripture References: Psalm 24:1-10.
Summary of What’s Covered: Next, we dive into the true purpose of studying the Bible. The goal of spending 45 minutes studying the Second Coming, the millennium, and the doom of Satan isn’t to make a gory movie or just fill our heads with facts. It is to produce life change. We look closely at Psalm 24:3-6 to discover exactly how God wants us to approach Him: with purity, holiness, single-hearted devotion, and integrity. I will show you my own personal journal and teach you how to write an application prayer that invites God to examine your heart and cleanse your life.
3. Two Days on the Calendar: Living for the Return of the King
Scripture References: Psalm 24:7-10 (and the Apostle John’s warning to not be ashamed at His coming).
Summary of What’s Covered: Finally, we look at how to live with ultimate focus. I share a powerful quote from the great reformer Martin Luther: "I have but two days on my calendar, today and the day I stand before Christ". We will explore what it practically means to live every single day expecting the arrival of the King, so that we won’t be ashamed when He finally takes back the helm of the universe. I will also challenge you to take your journal, find a friend, and start your own small group to share these truths, creating a community of accountability and love.
If you want to know how to practically apply God’s Word to your life right now, grab your Bible, get your journal ready, and let’s ask the Lord to change our lives today!
