Good morning everyone and welcome to this class that I'm going to be sharing with you over the next 4 presentations on how to study the Bible.

And I am also the AAFCO director, which we'll be talking about a little bit also during these presentations that will be together.

How many of you have heard of AFCO before?

Raise your hand if you've heard of AFCO, right?

Before we get started, Let's have a word of prayer.

Father, thank You again for the blessing and the privilege of another beautiful day and of a new year that we are starting.

But more than anything, the privilege of being Your children, of being part of Your church, of being part of this remnant movement, Father.

And as we come together to study what I believe is the most important topic, the key topic to the plan that you have for each and every 1 of us, Father, in regards to your Word.

We ask for your blessing, we ask for your guidance, we ask for your discernment, we ask that you illuminate our hearts and our minds as only You know how to do so that we can see the wonders and the beauties in Your Word.

I ask a blessing for those that are here, those that are coming, and those that will be listening to these recordings later on, Father.

So, AAFCO is the Amazing Facts Center of Evangelism.

So, I am the AAFCO director and we have a number of different models, or modulos, I don't know how you say that in English, of how to train in evangelism.

So, the reason I tell you this, I'll give you more information later on, but maybe, I'll just say this to start off.

Maybe some of you have been thinking about or wondering what is God's plan for you, right?

Or maybe some of you are here and you're not content with what you're doing right now.

You know that God has called you to do more.

You know that God is wanting to take you to your spiritual life to the next level and you're wondering what do I do?

AFCO is a place where you will come, we will train you, right?

It's a three-month training program and I'll give you more information later.

And we train you on the basics or the foundations of how to do gospel work, which is to do Bible work.

And then we give you an overview of all different types of different avenues and ministries that you can go into, because you don't know what to do, right?

Some of you might be going into college and you're like, I don't know what to study.

Well, Africo, we give you the foundation.

And then by the time you win, hopefully, you are going to be guided.

Now I know where God wants me, whether it be medical missionary, whether it be in public evangelism, whether it be in Bible work, whether it be in whatever the number of different areas that you can work.

So if I'll be here today, we'll be here for 4 presentations tomorrow morning also.

And so I want you to start thinking about that because I know that some of you have no idea what you're going to do or some of you are wanting to take your spiritual life, take your calling seriously, right?

God, I know you have a plan for me, but I don't know where to go.

Well, that's the purpose of what we're here for.

And before I continue, I want to also present Tony Scarpino.

He is the director for Amazing Facts Youth at Amazing Facts.

We're going to be also at the Amazing Facts booth during these days also, if you have any questions, but We'll be here in the same way.

So let's just go over what we're going to, what the next 4 presentations, what the next 4 classes are going to look like.

Number 1, we're going to start, we're going to do an introduction.

I'm going to lay a groundwork in regards to the importance and the relevance of the Bible and how this message, why I told you this message is so key, so important, so relevant right now.

Some people think, well, this is not the most important thing.

No, I don't think there's a more important topic than this.

And I'm going to show it to you biblically and prophetically.

That's the foundation I'm going to lay in regards to why this is so relevant because the difference in this is the difference between eternal life or eternal death.

That's how important and foundational this is.

We have 1 hour, then we'll have a 10-minute break, then we're gonna come back and we're gonna talk about contemplating the glory of God All right, and it's going to build the all these presentations are going to be building on 1 of each other You understand this after we go through this first class together in regards to that and we're going to have some practical stuff This first class is going to be foundational.

We're going to study the Bible together right now and then in the second hour I'm going to give you some foundation too and then we're going to do some exercises together and how we can contemplate and find the glory of God in the Bible.

So it's going to be some practical aspects in the other 4 classes.

Then we're going to come back after lunch and we're going to talk about the sanctuary and prophecy.

I'm going to show you how to study the Bible looking at it through the lens of the sanctuary and through the lens of prophecy connected both of them because they are both connected.

Maybe my 3 favorite topics are how to study the Bible, sanctuary and prophecy.

And we're going to put these together and again we're going to have another practical exercise in regards to that.

Then we come back for the fourth class this afternoon on Bible genealogies.

You ever looked at reading the Bible and you come across Bible genealogy and this person had this person, this person begot this person, this person begot this person, and you're like why in the world is that there, right?

What a waste of time to put a list of people and their names and who they had in the years.

I'm going to share with you this afternoon.

We're going to do an example, and then I'm going to give you an exercise to do together, right, in groups.

Here's the worksheet on how you're going to look at the genealogies in a different light after today.

I promise you that You're never going to see the genealogies or the Bible in the same way after we do these exercises and we go through what an amazing book the Bible is.

And then tomorrow morning at 9.40, which is going to be our last presentation, we're going to look at the gospel, the good news, the glory of God through some of the difficult stories.

There are some very challenging stories in the Bible that it's difficult to see how the gospel is there.

But I promise you, and as I'm going to show you now, every single story, every single book, every single chapter in the Bible is talking about the glory of God.

And so that's what I'm going to be sharing with you in regards to these exercises.

And you're going to see I am so passionate about the Bible.

I'll just give you a little back framework behind me.

The idea of hell, you're going to burn in hell forever.

I said that doesn't sound like a God of love.

Now, before that, I was severely depressed.

I contemplated killing myself numerous times.

I praise God I didn't have the guts to do it and I came across and I just started to read the New Testament and Reading the New Testament a little by little just me in the Bible.
