"Book by Book: Psalms is part of the ongoing "Book by Book series that covers the various books of the Bible and is hosted by Rev. Richard Bewes and Dr.Paul Blackham, pastors at All Souls Church in London, England. This edition, devoted to the book of Psalms, features guest teacher, Stephen Lungu, head of African Enterprise in Malawi. The book of Psalms is constructed and arranged in a brilliant way, and the sequence of Psalms covered in these programs is one of the most fascinating in the entire book. From Psalm 20 we are approaching the death of the Messiah, set out so powerfully in Psalm 22. We are taken through the Resurrection in Psalm 23 and the Ascension in Psalm 24. Psalm 25 expresses the sinner's confidence in the ascended Messiah, then from Psalm 26-31 we listen in to the Messiah's great prayers in His suffering.
Book by Book: I Peter is part of the ongoing Book by Book series that covers the various books of the Bible and is hosted by Rev. Richard Bewes and Dr. Paul Blackham, pastors at All Souls Church in London, England. This edition, devoted to the book of I Peter, features guest teacher, Don Carson, Professor of New Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity. In the book of I Peter, the apostle Peter encourages suffering and persecuted Christians to remain loyal to Christ. He calls us to live holy lives, looking to Christ as our example. Jesus has shown the pattern of suffering first, then glory later. Therefore believers can endure trials now because our eyes are fixed on our future hope. Peter explains how believers should live during difficult times and outlines the right attitude to have about persecution.
A study guide to the Book of 2 Timothy for small groups and personal study. This is Paul's final instruction to the expanding multinational Church. Paul's greatest concern for the heath and growth of the future church was to see self-sacrificial Bible teachers who were determined to speak only as God has spoken. In this second letter he sets two alternatives before Timothy. He could be a barren, compromised, unfaithful minister who would be ashamed at the appearing of Jesus; or he could be a fruitful and faithful minister who would be received with great joy by Jesus on that final day. Having been united to Jesus in His death and resurrection, how can we fulfill our duty in the way that Paul himself did? If we are saved from hell but live a life of fruitless compromise, how well we face Jesus when he appears? Just what did He save us for?
"Book by Book: Galatians is part of the ongoing "Book by Book series that covers the various books of the Bible and is hosted by Rev. Richard Bewes and Dr.Paul Blackham, pastors at All Souls Church in London, England. This edition, devoted to the book of Galatians, features guest teacher, Jonathan Edwards, Olympic gold medalist. The Apostle Paul wrote the book of Galatians to explain how trusting in Christ gives true freedom--from legalism and sin. He sets forth his argument against trusting in the Law itself for salvation: the Law taught that salvation would come from the Messiah alone. Paul presents examples from the Old Testament that help us understand the eternal gospel and how the temporary period of the Law pointed to faith in the same gospel. After explaining about total freedom in Christ, Paul goes on to tell us what this freedom means in practical terms.
