A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Class 176

   

             

                   

Hebrews (Part 1) - Who Is Jesus!

Written by a devout Jew to Jewish believers, the unknown author of this book dives into the burning questions of the day: Who is Jesus in relation to God, to the angels, to us, and to Judaism itself? Remember that it will be several hundred more years before the early Christian church settles the question as to whether Jesus was divine, human, a mixture of the two, or something else entirely. We’ve had the official answer for thousands of years now, but it is fascinating to follow this author as he wrestles with this dilemma in real time.


We cover Hebrews 1 and 2.

                                      Summary of Paul's Theology (Part 3) TRIGGER WARNING from Pastor Gayle: In the presentation I briefly explain why I think 1 Corinthians 3:16 -17 is taken out of Paul's context and used inappropriately in the Church's historical response to suicide. I only mention suicide briefly during the presentation, but it struck a chord with the class and there was some tender sharing and vulnerability during the discussion afterwards. I believe the discussion would be very healing to anyone who has experienced trauma related to suicide or severe depression, but if you are in a place where any discussion of the topic is painful to you, you may want to skip the discussion part of this video. W e cover the very last point in Paul’s theology: Salvation, the Second Coming, and the Day of the Lord There may be a surprise or two in here. Special Class Hand...

                                          The Pastoral Epistles (Part 2) We wrap up the series by looking at what the author of the Pastoral Epistles has to say about Church governance and household governance.

A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Class 158

                                    Romans (Part 1) Paul is nearing the end of his 3rd Missionary Journey. As he turns south towards Corinth, his heart yearns to continue westward to Rome to meet the church of believers that has formed there in the heart of the Empire.  He can’t go to see them quite yet, so he writes a letter that is widely regarded as his Magnum Opus--a sweeping statement of his theology. We discover that, as usual, Paul’s words are controversial. Four hundred years later, the Early Church Fathers quite literally spill blood as they fight over what it means for Jesus to be both divine and human and whether the Holy Spirit is part of God and Jesus or not.  And, of course, there’s the big clobber passage in Romans 1 that has been used to bash the LGBTQ community. We discover this passage actually applies to us all equally. ​We cover Romans 1. A free  Study Guide ...
