2 Timothy is Paul's last will and testament to his spiritual son Timothy.  Writing from a Roman prison cell, Paul imparts his final words of wisdom and encouragement to Timothy who is ministering in the midst of opposition and hardship in Ephesus.  Paul stresses the importance of godly living, preaching the Word both in and out of season, and preparing for the coming apostasy within the...

According to Wilkinson and Boa in their book Talk Thru the Bible , Paul, the aged and experienced apostle, writes to young pastor Timothy who is facing a heavy burden of responsibility in the church at Ephesus. The task is challenging: false doctrine must be erased, public worship safeguarded, and mature leadership developed. In addition to the conduct of the church, Paul talks pointedly about the...

Michael returns to his series The Big Book: Cover to Cover with the book of 2 Thessalonians.   1-2 Thessalonians are generally considered the earliest canonical Pauline letters.  2 Thessalonians is only 47 verses long, but it's a very practical book in many ways, and very applicable in our current situation. “Paul’s first letter evidently left some Thess. believers unconvinced. They stil...

Sanctification: Becoming more like the person of Jesus Christ, less like my sinful self and more like my savior. It’s a transformation process. We often differentiate between salvation and sanctification. The backdrop of the Thessalonian letters is found in Acts 17:1-5 : Thessalonian Jewish leaders had chased Paul all the way to Berea (about 90 miles) According to Wilkson and Boa, Talk Thru The Bi...

Written to believers in Colossae, Asia Minor or modern-day Turkey, Colossians is another of the “prison epistles” written, most likely, while Paul was imprisoned in Rome.  The letter’s intent is to correct the false teaching that had infiltrated the church of Colossae. According to Wilkinson and Boa, Talk Thru The Bible: “Colossians is one of the most Christ-centered books of the Bible. Paul...

“Philippians is the epistle of joy and encouragement in the midst of adverse circumstances. In it, Paul freely expresses his fond affection for the Philippians in view of their consistent testimony and support, and lovingly urges them to center their actions and thoughts on the person, pursuit, and power of Jesus Christ. Paul also seeks to correct a problem with disunity and rivalry, urging his re...

Guest speaker, Jonny Ardavanis, preaches on Luke 12.

How do you know if a person is saved? What do we believe? How do we behave—and can that be measured? As Christians we generally agree on belief, but what behaviors are acceptable? This is precisely the question Paul addresses to the church in Galatia. "The Epistle to the Galatians has been called “the charter of Christian liberty.” It is Paul’s manifesto of justification by faith and the liberty i...

“Since Paul’s first letter, the Corinthian church had been swayed by false teachers who stirred the people against Paul. They claimed he was fickle, proud, unimpressive in appearance and speech, dishonest, and unqualified as an apostle of Jesus Christ. Paul sent Titus to Corinth to deal with these difficulties, and upon his return, rejoiced to hear of the Corinthians’ change of heart. Paul wrote t...

Guest speaker, Dr. Robert Morgan, preaches on Acts 3.

First-century Corinth was the leading commercial center of southern Greece. The city was infamous for its immorality and paganism. But in spite of great obstacles, Paul was able to plant a Christian church there on his second missionary journey ( Acts 18:1–17 ). Though gifted and growing, the church was plagued with problems: moral and ethical, doctrinal, and practical, corporate and private. Paul...

Romans is the first of thirteen letters from Paul, 9 written to groups and 4 to individuals. "Romans, Paul’s magnum opus, is placed first among his thirteen epistles in the New Testament. While the four Gospels present the words and works of Jesus Christ, Romans explores the significance of His sacrificial death. Using a question-and-answer format, Paul records the most systematic presentation of...

According to Wilkinson and Boa in their book Talk Thru The Bible , Luke begins the Book of Acts where he left off in his gospel. Acts records the initial fulfillment of the Great Commission of Matthew 28:19–20 as it traces the beginning and growth of the New Testament church. Christ’s last words before His ascension were so perfectly realized in the Book of Acts.  A key verse, Acts 1:8, provi...

According to Wilkinson’s and Boa’s Talk Thru The Bible : “The Gospel of John is a gospel apart. Matthew, Mark, and Luke are called the synoptic gospels because, despite their individual emphases, they describe many of the same events in the life of Jesus of Nazareth. John draws mainly upon events and discourses not found in the other gospels to prove to his readers that Jesus is God in the flesh,...

Dr. Robert Morgan teaches on Acts 1:1-8.

Luke’s is the longest and most comprehensive of the four Gospels, presenting Jesus Christ as the Perfect Man who came to seek and save sinful men. Growing belief and growing opposition develop side by side. those who believe His claims are challenged to count the; cost of discipl...
