In "Pentecost & Persecution" we'll hang onto our hats as the disciples face a whirlwind of blessing and tragedy. The story is told in "Acts of the Apostles" which is Luke’s sequel to his gospel. But do we really know who Luke was? For that matter, do we know who wrote any of the gospels?
The short answer is no. We take a moment in this first class to look at how the books of the New Testament were chosen--who chose them and why they chose the ones they did.
Then, as we begin the story, we catch up with the disciples. Peter is emerging as a leader. They are a person short, so we listen in as they choose a replacement for Judas.

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.

Philippians 1&2, End of Acts Paul is shipwrecked while being transported to Rome for trial. Because of him the entire crew, the soldiers and all the other prisoners survive the shipwreck. When Paul arrives in Rome he is kept under guard but continues to be well-respected and is allowed to preach and teach to visitors. It is during this imprisonment in Rome that he writes another letter to the Philippians (what we know as the first 2 chapters of the book). After this, we don’t really know what happens to Paul. The Book of Acts ends. Some sources trace him to Spain but others say he is beheaded in Rome. We cover: Acts 28:10-31 Philippians 1-2 A free Study Guide is available.

Paul’s Trial, Philippians 3&4, Philemon Governor Felix never gives Paul a full trial. He lets him sit in jail for two years. Paul takes the opportunity to write several letters. Paul is still there when Governor Festus arrives to relieve Governor Felix of duty. Festus can’t figure out what to do with Paul. He has a trial that goes sideways in a hurry and Paul appeals to bring his case before the Emperor, as is his right as a Roman citizen. Festus knows he needs to appease the Jewish High Priests and religious leaders, but he can’t figure out what charges to bring against Paul but he’s got to send him to Rome anyway now that Paul has appealed to Caesar.

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.

Romans (Part 7) Paul is very clear about what it looks like to live as a true Christian. We need to paste his list on our mirror! He’s never been to the church in Rome and is making plans to come see them as soon as he takes the contributions he’s gathered back to the suffering church in Jerusalem. In the meantime, he sends personal greetings to a ton of folks in Rome, including a female deacon and a female apostle. We cover Romans 12-16. A free Study Guide is available.

Romans (Part 6) Keeping Paul’s overall context in mind, we dive into passages where Paul explains how, in his opinion, God’s chosen (elect) people (the Jews) ended up opposing Jesus Christ. And how God worked that to the blessing of the Gentiles. But lest we Gentiles become arrogant, Paul makes it quite clear that in the end all of Israel will be saved, regardless. He says God lumps us all together in our disobedience and uses it to show his great mercy on us all. We cover Romans 9-11. A free Study Guide is available.

Romans (Part 5) Paul devotes this central part of his letter to his grief over the Jews of Israel who do not believe in Jesus Christ and to his joy over those who do. It’s easy to get lost in the weeds when he uses words like “predestination” and “election,” but if we put them in context then those seemingly random words start to make a lot more sense. And it helps to make sense of how Paul uses Jacob and Esau as examples. This part of the letter spans chapters 7-11, so today we take a peek at the ending of the section so we know where we’re heading--kind of like looking at a map before setting out on a trip. We focus especially on Romans 9. A free Study Guide is available. A video version of the class is available on YouTube. More info at EversBibleClass.com .…

Romans (Part 4) We’re hitting the “steep” part of Romans now. Paul’s theology is beginning to get uncomfortable. (Yeah, I know, it's already been steep. I told you that Romans is the Mount Everest of the New Testament.) He smack-talks the Law and the flesh. He keeps saying the Law is good, but what he says about it sure doesn’t sound good. And what he says about the flesh sounds just as bad. This is one of those passages we will need to wrestle with in our breakout groups and on our own. Then, for the first time, Paul begins to talk about predestination and election. There’s more about that next week, but we do some interesting excavation in Greek that sheds new light on these words.

Romans (Part 3) Paul has something of a reputation for anti-Semitism. We hit a few of those passages today. We look at them through the lens of Paul’s deeply held Jewish roots and his understanding of the role of the Law. We also talk about works vs grace. And we discover that the Greek word for grace is charis, literally the charisma of God. That opens up a whole new vista of what “grace” might mean for us. Lastly we examine what Paul might mean when he talks about Jesus dying for the benefit of the wicked and reconciling us to God. There’s a lot to unpack here. We cover Romans 3:27-6:23.

Romans (Part 2) Paul throws us in the deep end here. Romans is densely packed with theology. Don’t worry. We take it in bite-sized chunks. He talks about the value (or not) of being a Jew as opposed to being a Gentile. Paul has deep roots in the Law but he sees it now as something that pointed to Christ--something fulfilled in Christ. We join Paul as he reflects on how the sin offerings under the Law showed God’s justice and righteousness in the same way Christ did, but with Christ, God’s righteousness and justice are revealed even more brilliantly.

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.

2 Corinthians (Part 3) We finish our series on 2 Corinthians today. Paul spends some time talking to the Corinthians about what it means to be a cheerful giver. The idea that he might get to Corinth and they won’t have gathered a collection for the poor in Jerusalem, or even worse, that he’ll find some of them unchanged and unrepentant gives him pause. There’s a sort of break in thought after Chapter 9. Perhaps he was interrupted and wasn’t able to get back to the letter for a bit. In the meantime, it’s pretty clear that someone has brought news of so-called “super apostles” showing up in Corinth and bad-mouthing Paul. You can imagine Paul’s reaction! It’s here that he talks about his “thorn in the flesh.” We cover 2 Corinthians 7:5-13:14. A free Study Guide is available. A video version of the class is available on YouTube.

2 Corinthians (Part 2) Paul is in the middle of his letter to the Corinthians. He wants to make sure they understand that he and the other apostles are just men--jars of clay--and subject to all the hardships that go with that. And yet, Paul regards these hardships as nothing. He sees his body as nothing more than a tent. Transient. Impermanent. He wants the Corinthians to see themselves as being “in” Christ’s death, and as ambassadors of the Good News that God is not holding anyone’s sins against them. We take a look at what this means and at what might shift if we take Paul’s advice. We cover 2 Corinthians 4:1-7:4. A free Study Guide is available.
