Tim Sheppard - No one likes spoilers, but sometimes it can help to see where things are going in order to keep going to the end. The final chapters of Daniel show that the future is a book that God has written, and its end is designed to help us to stand firm through whatever comes our way.

Aneirin Glyn - In these final chapters of Judges we see the catastrophe that follows when people do what is right in their own eyes and there is no deliverer. At the same time, we sense the kind of deliverer that is so desperately needed.

Phil Hudson - What do we need to know about the end of the world? Jesus wants us to understand what to expect while we wait for his return, so that we aren’t led astray or alarmed, but instead endure to the end, living as faithful and fruitful disciples.

Drew Balch - “It’s not the end of the world! Or is it?” In his kindness, Jesus gives us great clarity to look at the world in labour and understand the times before Jesus returns. It won’t be easy, but knowing why things are the way they are certainly helps.

Tim Sheppard - We can often wonder what God is doing, questioning whether he has failed to fulfil his promises. That was the question of Daniel’s readers, as they faced centuries of persecution. But God hadn’t failed them; he remained true to his promise. And, as Daniel 9 shows us, God is doing far more than they realised.

Aneirin Glyn - What happens when a society turns away from the LORD? Judges 17–18 shows us the consequences when everyone does what is right in their own eyes.

William Taylor - What kind of leadership does God expect for his churches? What kind of leadership shows that a local church really is the work of God? Paul’s answer provides a profoundly refreshing and challenging contrast to the models of leadership we find in the world.

Tim Sheppard - What will the future be like? Daniel 8 paints a future of hardship for the people of God, telling them the truth to enable them to endure through the centuries to come. It also presents a pattern that has been faced by God's people ever since. Its vivid vision offers crucial lessons for Christians today, so that we too might endure.

Matthew Le Croissette - Into the darkness of the book of Judges comes Samson, a saviour from God. But is he really the hero we think he is? As we look at Samson’s failings, Judges lifts our eyes to the saviour we really need.

William Taylor - There is much written today about Christian leadership–and rightly so. But what is the gold-standard? In detailing the ministry he exercised in founding the church in Thessalonica, the Apostle Paul provides us with a benchmark for all Christian work.

Tim Sheppard - Who is in charge–and who will be in charge in the future? Daniel 7 concludes the first half of the book with an alarming vision of the things to come. Yet, beyond its terrifying creatures lay a wonderful promise: that God's king gets the kingdom. It's a familiar promise about Jesus, but it turns out it's far more surprising than we may think.

Aneirin Glyn - What do we want God to do for us? And what’s needed from us for God to help us? Jephthah shows us how a warped view of God leads to death and disaster.

William Taylor - In describing the Thessalonians’ right response to the Apostle Paul’s preaching, Paul provides not only an example of genuine Christian conversion, but also a summary of the content of his original evangelistic preaching. Great clarity is provided for a world where there is much confusion both over the content of a Christian message and a right response to it.

Luke Cornelius - Daniel has showed us that God will save the world through the judgement of his people, but how exactly is that going to work? In this passage, we see God's amazing plan in which he keeps his promises and reveals his glory as he offers peace to the world.

Aneirin Glyn - Humanity wants to be left to find its own way without God. What happens with Gideon and then Abimelech shows us the disastrous consequences of taking charge ourselves.

William Taylor - We are all used to the concept of measurables, which indicate health and performance. Paul outlines for the Thessalonian church the aspects of their life and experience for which he is able to give constant thanks to God. This model church gives us indicators of what a genuine work of God looks like.
