Day: July 15, 2018

We have been Chronologically
covering the Bible phase by phase.
We start the Gospels, with Jesus
presented as the Servant in Mark,
the Perfect Son of Man in Luke,
Israel’s Messianic King in Matthew
and the Son of God in John gospel.
We have also covered Acts which
chronicles Growth of the Church.
Then Paul urges the Galatians to
live by Faith alone, Thessalonians
to Serve ahead of second coming,
and the Corinthians to live Rightly.

Next, we continue into Romans.
Although Paul had not founded
the church in Rome, he had heard
of their exemplary faith & service
and intended to visit them. Thus
the letter to the Romans served to
introduce both Paul & his message.
Writing from Corinth on his third
missionary journey, Paul sets forth
the Doctrines of the Christian
faith, life in the Spirit, unity in
the body and God’s redemptive
program for both Jew and Gentile.

We’ll cover Paul’s letters to Romans
over two weekends in 5 divisions:-
R1-3: Problems of Unrighteousness
R4-5: Provision of Righteousness
R6-8: Pursuit of Righteousness
R9-11: Program of Righteousness
R12-16: Practice of Righteousness
Lookout for it to better understand
the doctrine & practice of our faith.

Next, we continue into Ephesians,
who had unlimited spiritual wealth
at their disposal, yet they lived as
spiritual paupers. So Paul wrote
to encourage them to claim their
heavenly resources & draw on them
for their earthly walk. In the 1st half
of his letter, the apostle outlines
the heavenly wealth – adoption,
redemption, inheritance & power.
In 2nd half, he shows the practical
applications of those doctrines.
Paul made it clear – believers are
not to have merely an earthly view
for God has given to us His riches.

We cover Paul’s letter to Ephesians
over one weekend in 2 divisions:-
Eph 1-3: Christian’s Wealth
Eph 4-6: Christian’s Walk
Lookout for it to better understand
the purpose of the church and
be strengthened in your faith.

Next, we continue into Colossians.
Paul is imprisoned in Rome when
he receives word that heretical
doctrines are threatening the
church at Colosse. To refute the
spiritually lethal combination of
eastern mysticism and Jewish
legalism, Paul reestablishes the
truth of the gospel & demonstrates
the supremacy of Christ. As Lord
of all, Jesus Christ is the giver
of salvation and sufficient for
every need. Since Christ is all in all,
Paul encourages the Colossians
to pursue a godly lifestyle befitting
those who are risen with Christ.

Col 1-2: What Christ Has Done
Col3-4: What Christians Should Do
Lookout for it to better understand
that Christians have everything
they need in Christ and hence

Next, we continue into Philippians.
Paul is now a prisoner in Rome.
In spite of difficult circumstances,
he remains joyful and writes to
commend the Philippians for their
faithfulness and to challenge them
to make Christ the center of their
experience. Jesus’ life & ministry,
described in P2:6-11, is the life
pattern believers should follow
so that their faith might become
evident to others.Paul recognises
that divisions sometimes exist
among believers but is confident
that unity will be restored as they
imitate the servanthood of Christ.

We cover Paul’s letter to Philippians
over one weekend in 2 divisions:-
Phil 1-2: Rejoice In God’s Will
Phil 3-4: Resting In God’s Peace
Lookout for it to better understand
that True Joy comes from having
relationship with Jesus Christ. And
hence be strengthened in your faith
especially in difficult circumstances
