Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

The tired pilgrims reach the Delectable Mountains where they encounter four shepherds, Knowledge, Experience, Watchful, and Sincere, who resemble faithful pastors imparting wisdom to their flocks. During their time with these four shepherds, Christian and Hopeful are instructed and given timely cautions for the rest of their journey.

Next week we will discuss pages 166-176 to “The Flatterer’s Net” of Pilgrim’s Progress.

Shortly after their time of reprieve at the River of God, Christian and Hopeful go astray into the By-Path Meadow and are caught by Giant Despair. We get to preview the effects sin has in the life of a believer as the two pilgrims are brutally beaten by Giant Despair and trapped in Doubting Castle. Next week we will see how they escape.

As Christian and Hopeful continue their journey, they are confronted by By-Ends and his three companions. After this encounter, they meet Demas beside the path who invites them to turn aside to see a silver mine. Finally, they come across Lot’s wife, who was turned into a pillar of salt. These meetings serve as sobering reminders to Christian and Hopeful as they hurry towards the Celestial City.

Next week we will discuss pages 146-156 to “The Key of Promise” of Pilgrim’s Progress.

In this section, Faithful is martyred for his faith. His courage and stand for the truth cost him his life, but ultimately he was ushered into the presence of God even before Christian was. May we have the same conviction and spiritual strength in our own lives.

Next week we will discuss pages 134-146 to “The River of God” of Pilgrim’s Progress.

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

In their journey, Christian and Faithful encounter their old friend Evangelist who gives them wise counsel and exhorts them to withstand the coming trials they were sure to face. Then they head into Vanity Fair, where they meet with new challenges and persecution. We will see what happens to them next week.

Next week we will discuss pages 123-133 of Pilgrim’s Progress.

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

Faithful and Christian discuss those who profess Christianity but do not follow it in their hearts. In fact, Christian claims to know Talkative better than he knows himself. The way Faithful speaks to Talkative teaches us a great deal about how we ought to confront those who say the right things but have no desire to follow Christ in their hearts.

Next week we will discuss pages 113-122 of Pilgrim’s Progress.

Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan

Christian learns of Faithful’s experiences as they journey and talk together, and their fellowship is a great encouragement to one another. As they continue in the way, they encounter a character named Talkative, who Faithful initially takes a liking to, but who Christian knows better. We will see more on his character next week.

Next week we will discuss pages 103-113 to “Evangelist Joins the Pilgrims” of Pilgrim’s Progress.

The Valley of the Shadow of Death was a terrifying section of Christian’s journey, where he cried out to God in prayer to protect him from the many dangers that surrounded him. After coming through the difficulties, he looked back and could see his course with clarity and understanding. Then he met Faithful who became a companion with him in his journey. As the two of them walked together, they discussed the things Faithful had experienced up to that point.

Next week we will discuss pages 94-103 to “Christian on Talkative’s Character” of Pilgrim’s Progress.
