Engaging 12-Week Study from Jesus' Speech on the Mount of Olives Offers Practical Teaching on Christian Living in Light of Jesus' Return
The Knowing the Bible series is a resource designed to help Bible readers better understand and apply God's Word. These 12-week studies lead participants through parts of the Bible and are made up of four basic components: (1) reflection questions help readers engage the text at a deeper level; (2) "Gospel Glimpses" highlight the gospel of grace throughout the Bible; (3) "Whole-Bible Connections" show how any given passage connects to the Bible's overarching story of redemption, culminating in Christ; and (4) "Theological Soundings" identify how historic orthodox doctrines are taught or reinforced throughout Scripture.
In Jesus' Speech on the Mount of Olives, Murray J. Smith guides readers through Matthew 24-25, Mark 13, and Luke 21 to study Jesus' pivotal speech from the Mount of Olives. Examining themes of gospel witness, judgment, and salvation, this study teaches believers how they are to live as they await Christ's return.
