Temporada 1
One of the BIG themes in the Bible is slavery, but its somewhat under the radar. But the story of redemption kicks off in a big way with the Lord delivering slaves out of Egypt. Jesus came to "set the captive free" and here we find the book of Philemon is a key part of demonstrating that God is on the side of freedom. Join David Alley as he reads Philemon and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
People are drawn to bad news, to controversy, to conspiracy theories and anything that sounds wrong. We are to avoid all of this, said Paul to Titus. Join David Alley as he reads Titus 3 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
In this personal letter, Paul gives Titus guidance for how to instruct people in the churches about their behaviour. He gives advice for women, for men, for children and for slaves, which would equate to today's employees. Join David Alley as he reads Titus 2 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
We continue with Paul's personal letters, and find in his letter to Titus, that they had been in Crete. This is something we didn't know from the book of Acts. Join David Alley as he reads Titus 1 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
In this chapter we have Paul's final words in the Bible, and his farewell to Timothy knowing that soon, he would be killed at the hands of the Roman Empire. Join David Alley as he reads 2 Timothy 4 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
Paul warns of terrible times ahead in the last days. He attempts to prepare Timothy for something that is ahead of him. But what exactly where those 'last day's that Paul spoke of 2000 years ago. Join David Alley as he reads 2 Timothy 3 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
There are thigns to watch out for... such as false teachers, and their approach which is controversial. Paul shares these things with Timothy, because he is equipping him for the future, when Paul will not be around much longer. Join David Alley as he reads 2 Timothy 1 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
Paul writes a second personal letter to Timothy, but it also happens to be the last letter we have from Paul in the Bible. It contains what appears to be a 'handing over of responsibility' in some type of a way. Join David Alley as he reads 2 Timothy 1 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
If there is one thing which traps and takes people off course more than just about anything else - it is not money itself, but the love of money. Paul says it is the root of almost every evil thing. Join David Alley as he reads 1 Timothy 6 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
We have widows today, but the situation was widows was contextually different at the time of the Bible. Just the same, there are things we can learn not just for widows, but for all of us. Join David Alley as he reads 1 Timothy 5 and then discusses the chapter and these issues.
