New Bible Study Guide Series Explores “God’s Plan for You and the Entire World”

Cincinnati, OH, February 17, 2011 --(PR.com)-- The United Church of God’s new Bible Study Guide series “God’s Plan for You and the Entire World: Unlocking the Secrets of God’s Festivals” (online at http://www.freebiblestudyguides.org/bible-plan/) examines the often-overlooked connection between God’s festivals and His plan of salvation. "The results of this study are truly amazing and inspiring," said Mike Bennett, author of the lessons.

This 10-lesson series explores questions such as:

Did Jesus Christ, the apostles and New Testament Church celebrate the “feasts of the Lord”?
Will all nations celebrate these festivals after Jesus Christ returns?
Can the Sabbath serve as a type of the promised Millennium?
What did the Passover lamb represent?
What spiritual lessons can Christians learn by eating unleavened bread?
How did God mark the beginning of the Church of God on Pentecost?
What incredible end-time events will the seventh or last trumpet signal?
How did the sacrificial rituals on the Day of Atonement foreshadow the end-time binding of Satan?
What are tabernacles, and what do they symbolize for Christians?
Does God have a plan for each person who has ever lived?
How should a Christian today celebrate the annual festivals of the Bible?

These new lessons include links to many helpful related resources and provide practical “Apply Now” sections. The series was researched and written by Mike Bennett, United Church of God editorial content manager.

This new series on God’s wonderful plan of salvation is added to lessons covering a wide variety of topics, from answered prayer to Armageddon, from the armor of God to unemployment, and from eating disorders to keys to a happy marriage.
