Fall 2014: Jeremiah—Fire in the Belly
2014-09-01 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Kentucky/Louisville) | The FAS Ministry Center, 1580 Lexington Rd, Wilmore, KY, 40390, United States
This Bible study was led by Stan Key, president of the Francis Asbury Society (2014-2020), and was produced in 2015.
SUMMARY: The time in which Jeremiah ministered was perhaps the most difficult period that the nation of Judah ever experienced. Things were falling apart, and it appeared that God had abandoned his people to their enemies. But worse than the Babylonians on the outside was the corrupting influence of sin on the inside. Recognizing the frightful similarities between Jeremiah’s day and our own, this study will enable the Bible student to put their hope in God when all appears to be lost.

The last book of the Bible is unlike any other book in the Bible. Filled with images of dragons, ten-headed monsters, angel armies, mysterious numbers, and plagues of cosmic proportions, it requires a sanctified imagination to understand it properly! Though many assume the book is a kind of crystal ball to help chart out the sequence of end time events, this study takes a different approach. John writes as a pastor. His desire is to help the believers in the churches of Asia both survive and thrive as they live in the evil empire of first century Rome. This book is perhaps the greatest work on pastoral theology ever written! Though John’s words certainly point to the final future victory of the Lamb, they are profitable today for all believers everywhere. Revelation invites us not only to decipher a code but also to trust in the Lamb! “Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.” Revelation 1:3

Fall Bible Study: The Good Kings of Judah
2013-09-03 18:00 - 2013-12-03 18:00
This Bible study was led by Stan Key, president of the Francis Asbury Society (2014-2020).
SUMMARY: Our focus for this study was the book of 2 Chronicles and centered on the eight good kings of Judah (Asa, Jehoshaphat, Joash, etc.). Each week we examined the strengths and especially the weaknesses of these good men. Our study zeroed in on the character flaws, highlighted by Scripture, that ultimately brought about the moral failure of these otherwise godly personalities. The study will enrich your understanding of leadership, temptation, and godliness and will endeavor to encourage the participants to finish strong.

Fall 2012–Spring 2013: Isaiah
2012-09-01 - 2013-05-31
Led by Dr. John N. Oswalt, an American scholar and distinguished professor of Old Testament at Asbury Theological Seminary.
SUMMARY: In a time of spiritual and political turmoil, the Prophet Isaiah spoke Yahweh’s message to his people in Judah. Surrounded by pagan enemies and facing unfaithfulness in their own nation, what could the faithful of Judah expect from God? Would he remain true to them while also judging the unrighteousness of his “treasured nation”? Could these people really become God’s servants to share his message with the world? Many of the answers in Isaiah ring startlingly true in our culture today. Old Testament scholar John N. Oswalt illuminates God’s warning to his people and his plan for their ultimate redemption.
