Legacy Baptist Church

Last time we were together we considered the philosophy of "natural" prophetic interpretation. This week we consider the other four principles of interpretation, preparing us to interpret Mark 13 with consistency.

Jacob has left his family to go up to Haran, when he stops for the night and sees a vision of God, reiterating to him the promises of Abraham connected to the land. Jacob then vows, that if God will be his God, he will build his life upon God's promises. We talk about doing the same in our time together.

Jacob, as the future seed of the line of Abraham, is sent up to Haran to find a wife who shares faith in the God of Abraham. Esau, angry and rejected, sees this and tries to fix his own marriage mess by marrying the granddaughter of Ishmael. Today we talk about the danger of faithless fixes to a life of poor choices.

Last time we were together we considered the facts surrounding Jesus' prophecies in Mark 13. This week we lay an interpretive foundation in order to then interpret what Jesus is teaching.

Jesus' disciples ask for insight into the signs and timing of the last things. This week we study the facts surrounding Jesus' answer to their question.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ promises many things. We often think on the power of the resurrection over death and sin, but the resurrection is also proof positive that Jesus is who He says He is. We talk about it together on this Resurrection Sunday morning.

Jesus is on the Mount of Olives looking over the temple when His disciples ask Him the signs of the end of the age. We'll consider this question this evening as we step into Jesus' teaching on this important time.

This Palm Sunday we ask a very important question: why did Jesus come? It is a question just as important for those who have received Jesus, as those who have not.
