Who's Your Daddy? Prophecies of His Ancestry

I know what you're thinking, "We normally just skip over those long, boring genealogies in the Bible and now you are going to devote an entire class to studying one? BORING!" But when are the X-trials ever boring? Besides, the one we are studying is a very special one. It's the genealogy of Jesus and did I say one genealogy? There are actually two, one by Matthew (Matthew 1:1-17) and the other by Luke (Luke 3:23-38).

So why two lists? That's a question many have asked with skeptics asserting that there are contradictions in them that cannot be reconciled. Then there is the reason of showing Christ's decent through David from Abraham and Adam set forth in an unbroken line in both genealogies. And how does this all tie in to Messianic prophecy?

Join us Thursday night at 7pm as we explore this matter...it won' be boring, I promise!

Prophecies of His Preexistence

What is Messianic prophecy and why do we need to study it?
Our first class will concentrate on the prophecies of Jesus' preexistence.
Was the Son of God born? Or has He always been? Does it even matter?
We will look at Jesus' own words for guidence.

New Bible Study Starting September 25th!

Christ and the Fulfillment
of Messianic Prophecies

The X-Trials Bible Study Group will begin a new Bible study, Christ and the Fulfillment of Messianic Prophecies, on Thursday, September 25, 2009 at 7pm; we'll be meeting at Starbucks as usual. Don't let the start date scare you off. You can join at anytime!

We've just completed a look at several key figures in the Old Testament which was great! Thank you to everyone. We had some great discussions. I know that I learned a lot. This Fall we are going to be looking at the Messianic Prophecies and how Jesus fulfilled them. We'll be using the book "All the Messianic Prophecies of the Bible" by Herbert Lockyer. We’ll cover how the different prophecies accurately foretell of the coming of Christ including His ancestry, birth, character, and His death and resurrection.

As always, this course is designed to be a "come when you can" class. In other words, each week we cover something different so if you can't make a week...show up for the next one! We welcome everyone. It is a discussion oriented class but if you want to come and listen only...feel free.

Join us for a cup of coffee and a night of fellowship!


See you there,
Brian Borden
