My Epic Journey

Last Sunday night we tackled the 2012 prophecy.  Students are hearing it at school, media has quickly picked up on the topic.  Being a student ministry that is not afraid to tackle difficult topics, we, at EPIC, thought it important to address the prophecy and all the talk that is out there.  We were reminded that much of Scripture deals with prophecy concerning the end times and if God can talk about, we should be afraid to talk about it either.

One of our church (Grace Point) elders, Tommy Settipani, joined me on the platform that evening.  Tommy has an incredible knowledge of what God says concerning the end times and an incredible gift of explaining it in simple terms so I can understand it. 

We pointed out that likelihood of Jesus coming back in 2012 is no more alarming than the fact that He could come back RIGHT NOW.  After that, we took some great questions from the floor.  Thanks to Tommy for his quick thinking brain and his preparedness to handle the questions in a professional and calming way.

I just wanted to say Thanks!! to Tommy for being available, prepared and understanding on Sunday!!!

As promised, if you have any questions, you can post them here by commenting at the bottom.  I will then pass of those questions to Tommy and reply by commenting back on this post.

Thanks

A recent CNN.com report states:

Just as “Y2K” and its batch of predictions about the year 2000 have become a distant memory, here comes “Twenty-twelve.”

Fueled by a crop of books, Web sites with countdown clocks, and claims about ancient timekeepers, interest is growing in what some see as the dawn of a new era, and others as an expiration date for Earth: December 21, 2012.

The date marks the end of a 5,126-year cycle on the Long Count calendar developed by the Maya, the ancient civilization known for its advanced understanding of astronomy and for the great cities it left behind in Mexico and Central America.

Students are talking about because their schools are talking about. 

So what does God say?

Is the world going to end in 2012?

Could it happen right now?  Before I even finish this sente . . . . . . .

Just kidding-still here.

EPIC Student Ministries is going to explore the prophecy behind the Mayan calendar and compare it to what God says in His Word.
