A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Class 190

                 

             

The 7th Seal & 1st Six Trumpets

There is a pause in heaven before the seventh seal is broken. Terrible things are about to be set into motion. But before that happens, God places protective seals on the foreheads of all of Israel (or only 144,000?)--but not on the Gentiles who serve him. They have to go through the Great Tribulation.

Afterwards, however, God wipes every tear from their eyes. We think about the implications of this in our breakout groups.


Meanwhile, we take a whirlwind ride through the sounding of the first six trumpets, including trumpets 5 and 6 which are the first of particularly terrible events called “The Woes.”


We cover Revelation 7 thru 9.

                                          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. We give some thought to both the roots and the fruits of these teachings. We track everything on an Pastoral Epistles Scorecard and then talk about what we think and how, therefore, we should approach these books. A free  Study Guide  is available.

                                      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...

A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Class 165

                                    Riot in Jerusalem Over the strenuous objections of all those who love him, Paul persists in returning to Jerusalem in spite of the danger. He delivers the contributions he’s collected for the church, and they advise him to make a public display in the Temple of how devout and law-abiding he is. The plan backfires spectacularly. Instead of appeasing the Jewish faction, Paul’s appearance in the Temple causes a riot. He is arrested and sent north to Governor Felix in Caesarea for trial. We cover  Acts 22:1-24:23.
