      521 – Reviewing of Paul's Writings pt 2
      Feb 19 2026
      God 521 – Reviewing of Paul's Writings pt 2 Can you imagine living in the first century Church? And you were at a fellowship, and someone came in with a letter from Paul. And read it to the group. That must have been an exciting time. Paul's letters, or Epistles, were circulated, meaning they were passed around to all the churches. Would it matter the order in which you read them? No, I don't think so. You would just have to use scripture buildup to add to each Epistle to get a more complete understanding of the subject. Like, today we're going to look at the spirit. 2 Timothy 3:16 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" Romans 1:1 – 16 "Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God, 2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures,) 3 Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh; 4 And declared to be the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead: 5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name: 6 Among whom are ye also the called of Jesus Christ: 7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world. 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers; 10 Making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come unto you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift, to the end ye may be established; 12 That is, that I may be comforted together with you by the mutual faith both of you and me. 13 Now I would not have you ignorant, brethren, that oftentimes I purposed to come unto you, (but was let hitherto,) that I might have some fruit among you also, even as among other Gentiles. 14 I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the Barbarians; both to the wise, and to the unwise. 15 So, as much as in me is, I am ready to preach the gospel to you that are at Rome also. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek." After reading the beginning of Romans, I had a question. Why was Paul so excited to go to Rome? Let's look at it for a minute. Romans 16:1 – 2 "I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: 2 That ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a succourer of many, and of myself also. 3 Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus:" Let's think about these people: Phebe, Aquila and Priscilla, and the place Cenchrea. Acts 18:1 – 3 " After these things Paul departed from Athens, and came to Corinth; 2 And found a certain Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Priscilla; (because that Claudius had commanded all Jews to depart from Rome:) and came unto them. 3 And because he was of the same craft, he abode with them, and wrought: for by their occupation they were tentmakers." Acts 18:18 & 19 "And Paul after this tarried there yet a good while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and sailed thence into Syria, and with him Priscilla and Aquila; having shorn his head in Cenchrea: for he had a vow. 19 And he came to Ephesus, and left them there: but he himself entered into the synagogue, and reasoned with the Jews." Look at the people who were at Cenchrea. Aquila and Priscilla had been in Rome. They must have talked about it. Paul worked with them. When people work together, they talk together, and Phoebe was there too. This must have been the start of Paul thinking about going to Rome. Acts 19:21 "After these things were ended, Paul purposed in the spirit, when he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, to go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I must also see Rome." Acts 23:11 "And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome." Look at Paul's greetings to these people. Paul must have learned a lot about Rome from them. Romans 16:3 – 5 "Greet Priscilla and Aquila my helpers in Christ Jesus: 4 Who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles. 5 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ." Paul starts teaching about spirit. We can learn ...

    • 520 – Reviewing Paul's Writings

      520 – Reviewing Paul's Writings
      Feb 10 2026
      God 520 – Reviewing of Paul's Writings We're continuing along in our series on "Paul of the Bible." This week's podcast is "Reviewing of Paul's Writings." Chronological order of when Paul's letters were written. Before going to Jerusalem. First and Second Thessalonians: 51 and 52 A.D First and Second Corinthians: 53 - 55 A.D. Romans 55 - 57 A.D. Galatians: 50 - 60 A.D. After going to Jerusalem, and while Paul was in prison. Ephesians: 62 A.D. Philippians 62 A.D. Colossians: 62 A.D. First and Second Timothy: 64 and 65 2 Timothy 4:11 – 13 "Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. 12, And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. 13, The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments. [Bring all my writings] Colossians 4:16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans; and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea. Paul likely used papyrus sheets or rolls to write his letters, with ink made from inexpensive materials. These letters were often sent in a protective case to prevent damage during delivery. Sometimes Paul dictated their letters. Sometimes he mentioned others leaders with him. We don't know the complete process, but it was typical for Paul to sign a letter to prove its authenticity: 1 Corinthians 16:21 "I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand." Galatians 6:11 "See what large letters I use as I write to you with my own hand!" Colossians 4:18 "I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand. Remember my chains. Grace be with you." 2 Thessalonians 3:17 "I, Paul, write this greeting in my own hand, which is the distinguishing mark in all my letters. This is how I write." Although many of Paul's letters were written for communal audiences, a few of his letters were written to individuals: one to Philemon two to Timothy one to Titus Because these letters are written to provide counsel to leaders in the church, they are usually referred to as Leadership Epistles. But put in our Bibles so that everyone can read them. 1 Thessalonians 1:1 – 5 "Paul, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 2 We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; 3 Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God. 5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance; as ye know what manner of men we were among you for your sake. 1 Thessalonians 1:8 – 10 "For from you sounded out the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so that we need not to speak any thing. 9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God; 10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered us from the wrath to come. 1 Thessalonians 4:13 – 18 "But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words." First and second ThessaloniansIs all about the comfort of God. Knowing what will happen at the end times is very comforting. Knowing about our loved ones who are no longer with us is comforting. That there's eternal life available to us because God was able to raise Jesus Christ from the dead. He'll be able to do that for us. Also, that's God's comfort. 2 Thessalonians 1:10 – 12 "When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day. 11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: 12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus ...

      519 – Paul Gets to Jerusalem
      Feb 3 2026
      God 519 – Paul Gets to Jerusalem We're continuing along in our series on "Paul of the Bible." This week's podcast is "Paul Gets to Jerusalem." Acts 21:14 – 21 "And when he would not be persuaded, we ceased, saying, The will of the Lord be done. 15 And after those days we took up our carriages, and went up to Jerusalem. 16 There went with us also certain of the disciples of Caesarea, and brought with them one Mnason of Cyprus, an old disciple, with whom we should lodge. 17 And when we were come to Jerusalem, the brethren received us gladly. 18 And the day following Paul went in with us unto James; and all the elders were present. 19 And when he had saluted them, he declared particularly what things God had wrought among the Gentiles by his ministry. 20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest, brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe; and they are all zealous of the law: 21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teachest all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to forsake Moses, saying that they ought not to circumcise their children, neither to walk after the customs." The Believers in Jerusalem got saved, born again. But kept the law. They regarded it as an add-on to the Old Testament. That the Church Epistles were just an ad on. We've learned that there are three classifications of people in the Bible: One is the Jews, another is the Gentiles, and a brand new group called The Church of God. See, it is not an add-on to the Old Testament law. We are part of a completely new group. We have a completely new way of living. We now have holy spirit part of our lives. Acts 21:22 – 24 "What is it therefore? the multitude must needs come together: for they will hear that thou art come. 23 Do therefore this that we say to thee: We have four men which have a vow on them; 24 Them take, and purify thyself with them, and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly, and keepest the law." Why would Paul do this? To become all things to all people. Acts 21:25 – 40 "As touching the Gentiles which believe, we have written and concluded that they observe no such thing, save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication. 26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day purifying himself with them entered into the temple, to signify the accomplishment of the days of purification, until that an offering should be offered for every one of them. 27 And when the seven days were almost ended, the Jews which were of Asia, when they saw him in the temple, stirred up all the people, and laid hands on him, 28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: This is the man, that teacheth all men every where against the people, and the law, and this place: and further brought Greeks also into the temple, and hath polluted this holy place. 29 (For they had seen before with him in the city Trophimus an Ephesian, whom they supposed that Paul had brought into the temple.) 30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran together: and they took Paul, and drew him out of the temple: and forthwith the doors were shut. 31 And as they went about to kill him, tidings came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Jerusalem was in an uproar. 32 Who immediately took soldiers and centurions, and ran down unto them: and when they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they left beating of Paul. 33 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, and commanded him to be bound with two chains; and demanded who he was, and what he had done. 34 And some cried one thing, some another, among the multitude: and when he could not know the certainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be carried into the castle. 35 And when he came upon the stairs, so it was, that he was borne of the soldiers for the violence of the people. 36 For the multitude of the people followed after, crying, Away with him. 37 And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek? 38 Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers? 39 But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people. 40 And when he had given him licence, Paul stood on the stairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the people. And when there was made a great silence, he spake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, saying,'" This is what Paul wanted. A chance to speak to the people and to teach them the truth of God's Word. Acts 22:1 - 15 " Men, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence which I make now unto you. 2 (And when they heard that he spake in the Hebrew tongue to them, they ...
