CONVENTION STUDY QUESTIONS
1~~ Lk 8:9-18 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this
parable be? And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of
the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might
not see, and hearing they might not understand. What is necessary to
have our eyes able to "see" and understand?
2~~How does it bring comfort and build confidence to know our Lord is
actually present with us in this end of the age? (such as Jn 15:1-6)
Relate this to the first advent's physical presence of Jesus with the
disciples.
3~~ The length of time for gathering the wheat into the barn and binding
the tares has been longer than first expected. Do we think this will
go on much longer, or are we seeing that things are coming to a
conclusion?
Are we feeling more of a sense of urgency this past few years?
4~~ Mt 5:13,
"Salt of the earth" ~~ is there evidence of the "preservative"
influence leaving the earth, accompanied by evidence of decay? [see Mark
9:50] Apply this not only to the world, but to the false church systems.
5~~ Mt 24:32-36 Do we see the fig tree putting forth leaves?
Is "summer" near?
Does seeing this prophecy fulfilled encourage us and give a sense of where we are in the steam of time?
6~~ Mt 5:14,15 - How does this illustration of a "light" or "candle" spell out our mission and purpose in this harvest?
(Isaiah 2:2, Malachi 4:2) Are we living representatives of the the truth
(light) to the other professed Christians as well as the world?
Can we still let our lights shine, or is the darkness (night) putting a stop to our work?
7~~ Mt 13:24-30 - Wheat and tares sowed. How does this parable define
our work - reaping wheat, binding tares? Are we to witness mostly to the
professed church systems, or to the world in general?
How are the tares made manifest? (Rev 18:2-4, Psa 50:5, Rev 14:16)
8~~ Mt 9:16,17 - What lesson is in the patch on the garment or theold wineskin parables?
What special application to the harvest? See Jer 51:8,9 - "she is not healed: forsake her..."
9~~ Mt 13:44 Treasure hid in a field. What prompted us to give our all to gain the treasure?
Are we beginning to receive this "treasure" to some extent now and is it an encouragement to us? [see F 659]
10~~ Mt 7:24-27 - In this harvest time, should this analogy to the
house built on rock encourage us that we have built on the rock of the
Word of God and not traditions of men?
11~~ Mt 25:1-12 - What preparation is needed to be counted as a wise virgin?
How do we keep our lamps trimmed?
12~~ John 10:3,4 Good Shepherd. He knows our name. Does this intimacy with our Lord give us encouragement?
(C:91-94; 213-216) The sheep know his voice - the sound of wisdom,
justice and love. Since we are attracted to that sound, does this
reassure us that we are following the true Shepherd?

Last October's Discourses
Greeting's again!
Last October two discourses, one on the subject of the Tabernacle and its significances, and the other, on the Divine Plan Of the ages using a chart, were presented to the Swobs ecclesia By Brothers Tom Adams and Stanley Loper. At the time technical difficulties interfered with the presentation of Br. Stanley's Discourse, so it was rerecorded and is now available. For this reason both discourses are linked here.
