A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Class 164

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

A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Class 163

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.&nb

A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Class 162

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 “ele

A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Class 161

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�

A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Class 160

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

A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Class 159

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

A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Class 158

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 se

A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Class 157

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 J

A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Class 156

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 hard

A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Class 155

2 Corinthians (Part 1)Paul is ready to leave Ephesus, and that’s good because they are ready to kick him out. There’s a huge riot because Paul is converting so many idol-worshippers that it’s impacting the sales of paraphernalia and trinkets feeding off the w
