Living as People of Faith

SERIES: “FEARLESS” Paul wrote his second letter to Timothy knowing that his end was near, being held by Emperor Nero of Rome in a dank dungeon. As the NIV Study Bible notes, “Paul was concerned about the welfare of the churches doing this time of persecution under Nero, and he admonishes Timothy to guard the gospel (1:14), to persevere in it (3:14), to keep on preaching it (4:2) and, if necessary, to suffer for it (1:8; 2:3). This series will equate the challenges to Christianity that existed in Paul’s time to the dangers it faces in our time, in what some refer to as a post-Christian age.

Season 6

Acting Out Your Faith at Home and Work

SERIES: “MISSING PIECES: IS THERE SOMETHING I NEED BESIDES JESUS TO BE SPIRITUAL?” Paul’s letter to the church at Colossae is designed to address issues raised by the Epaphras, the founder of the church in this located in the region of Phrygia, in south central Asia Minor. The “city” was considered to be an “inconsequential market town” by the time of the Roman empire, but nonetheless, it developed some strange thoughts about spirituality that needed to be corrected, namely the idea that you needed “Jesus and…” something else to be considered truly spiritual. The purpose of this series will be to look at the issues they had, and translate it to false ideas we may have in our day about what spirituality is all about.
