We are getting ready for our second week of Winter Programming with a one week study on the Letter of Jude.

Jude is ONE CHAPTER, 25 VERSES, and about a 4 minute read.

Jude encourages his readers to "contend for the faith," and spend a good deal of his letter explaining why this is necessary. It 's a warning we should pay attention to and heed even today.

This episode provides some things to ask yourself, look for, and think about as you read.

It's one and done this week in our Bible Study for Women. We read the book of Philemon, the short little letter that packs a walloping punch!

Paul is appealing to his friend Philemon on behalf of Paul's son in the faith, Onesimus. Paul crafts a letter that is personal, challenging, and optimistic, giving Philemon the choice to do the right thing and reconcile with Onesimus, instead of commanding him with legit apostolic authority. Paul is confident that Philemon's character will hold up and that Christ's transformative love will reach Philemon even in this delicate situation.

Oh my, what a great question we have today for our Bonus Series, Ask the Pastor, It's a question I'd be willing to bet you've asked before, or you've been asked before: Will Christians go through the tribulation? Joshua York explains his view on this question, and gives grace to Christians who believe differently.

He talks about two primary views on "tribulation," one from the angle of dispensationalism (which is the type of church I grew up in), which interprets the apocalyptic literature of the Bible literally. This view gained traction back in the early 1900s with the publishing of the Scofield Study Bible (my mom had this Bible) and enjoyed immense popularity with the Left Behind series in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The other angle, covenant theology, interprets apocalyptic literature much more symbolically. Joshua fleshes out these two arguments and explains why he believes one is more scripturally accurate.

Here is the sermon he references in the episode, "The Hope of His Coming": https://youtu.be/rgo5vOafDIY

Y'all I am super excited for this week. We are moving into our winter program and for the next two weeks we will look at the two books of the New Testament which stand alone with just ONE CHAPTER!!

This week is the book of Philemon. This is a deeply personal letter from the apostle Paul to his friend, with an important request. Paul follows an ancient Greek and Roman philosophy formula designed in three steps for maximum acquiescence:

1) Build rapport with your audience

2) Pursuade them that your request is legitimate

3) Target the emotions

As you read this week, consider how Paul implements each of these steps while forming his appeal to Philemon.

Join me next week for the full discussion of this beautiful letter.

Today is an exciting day (I say with a tear in my eye) as we finish the Book of Acts in our Women's Bible Study,

It's a tale of swashbuckling adventure as Luke writes an EPIC narrative that rivals any shipwreck story we can think of. Luke also encourages us to think about another stormy adventure we find in the Old Testament, and see the God who is in complete control over both stories, as he delivers his servants to their destinations.

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth. 3 John 1:4

This surely must be the greatest blessing, gift and comfort for parents, to see their children come to faith in Christ. But perhaps you are a parent and you haven't received this blessing yet. Perhaps you have adult children who have not surrendered their life to Jesus. I'm sure many sleepless nights can be accounted for spent in tears and prayer.

What about an adult child who struggles with salvation? They have prayed to be saved, but they don't "feel saved." How does a parent guide and encourage them?

This is the heart of our question today in our ASK THE PASTOR series. Joshua explains, the Bible is very clear about salvation. It isn't based on feelings or emotions, but it is a confession and a heart belief, which results in a changed life. Have a listen to hear how Joshua explains it.

OK, we get you ready to finish the book of Acts this week with the reading of the final two chapters, Acts chapters 27-28.

Paul is finally heading to Rome!

It's been 30 years (give or take) since Jesus told his disciples they would be his witnesses to the end of the earth. Does that seem incredible to you? It boggles my mind in the most amazing way!

Be sure to listen all the way through to the end to find out what's happening after we finish with Acts. I'm calling it our "Winter Program." (That makes it sound more official.)

Our penultimate weekly Bible study of the book of Acts reads like a script from a Broadway play, Our main character Paul stand trial before three powerful men, Governor Felix, Governor Festus, and King Agrippa II.

The Jews are still blood thirsty, and even the passage of time has not curbed their blood lust.

Paul finally arrives at the decision to appeal to Caesar, and although Festus promises to send him, he waits on the council of King Agrippa, who is an expert in Jewish customs.

In the end, we find that God is in ultimate control, just as he is today.
