The End wk 2 - What are "The Last Days"?

Line by Line - with Pastor Josh Hawkins

In this Bible study, we will explore the concept of "the last days" and what it means for believers today. Drawing from the book of Acts and other key passages, we will unpack the biblical understanding of the "last days" and how they have been unfolding for the past 2,000 years.

The study will begin by examining Acts 2:14-21, where the apostle Peter cites the prophet Joel's prophecy about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in the last days. We will discuss how the early church recognized that they were living in the last days, a season where God would accomplish his ultimate goals for creation.

The study will then delve deeper into the broader biblical perspective on the last days, exploring passages like Romans 8:18-23 and Daniel 9:24, which speak of God's plan to redeem and restore all of creation. We will see how the last days are not just about the end of the world, but about the culmination of God's redemptive work, where sin and decay will be vanquished, and everlasting righteousness will be established.

Throughout the study, we will consider the implications of living in the last days for believers today. How should this understanding shape our perspective, our priorities, and our mission as the people of God? By grasping the significance of the last days, we can be better equipped to live with hope, purpose, and urgency in these pivotal times.
