In this episode, Pastors Clint and Michael discuss Paul’s final letters recorded in the New Testament. We find that Paul both addresses the concerns of the Thessalonian church but also the very personal concerns of Timothy, Titus, and Philemon. In each case, Paul appeals directly to Jesus Christ and how the Gospel must transform every aspect of both our personal and communal lives.

In this episode, Pastors Clint and Michael discuss the letters to the Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, and Colossians. Though each letter is directed to each community’s unique challenges, the centrality of Christ and the importance of unity in the body of Christ is affirmed throughout them all. Within these letters we find God’s ongoing call to the church to be transformed by grace through faith so that we might witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ in all times and places.

In this episode, Pastors Clint and Michael discuss the end of 1 Corinthians and all of 2 Corinthians. They explore how the Apostle Paul’s tone seems to shift between the two letters and discuss what this might suggest about his changing relationship with the congregation in Corinth. In addition, they point out some of the possible significance of his mission offering and how he pastorally encourages the Corinthian congregation to find their unity in Christ as opposed to any particular teacher or leader.

In this episode, Pastors Clint and Michael discuss the end of Romans and the first half of 1 Corinthians. Join them as they discuss how the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans serves as the foundation for much of the historic Church’s understanding of God’s plan for salvation. Interesting to modern readers, they also explore how Paul addresses the problem of the Israelite’s seaming rejection of the Gospel and how that leads into his encouragement to live our lives of faith boldly. Finally, Clint and Michael begin to explore Paul’s letter to the Corinthians who seem to have been struggling with church conflict rooted in pride and hierarchical self-advancement. They conclude with a few interpretive thoughts for how we might read Paul’s comments about women and their participation in the church.

In this episode, Pastors Clint and Michael discuss the end of Acts and the beginning of Romans. Join them as they discuss how the Apostle Paul’s life serves as an individual example of the entire Christian movement’s bold faith and constant proclamation of the Gospel that ultimately changed the world.
