In August of 2024 I started a series called Navigating the Bible with the goal of talking about every book of the Bible. I didn't know at the time how long it would take. I didn't know who would say yes to coming on with me to talk about these books. But now, just about two years later, this is the final episode of the series. I may do some additional episodes down the line about to add things here or there, but today's episode is a bit of a capstone for the Navigating the Bible series.The New Testament is, rightfully so, all about Jesus. The Gospels are the accounts of Jesus' life and ministry on earth. The epistles are about the living out the reality of Jesus. As we've looked at each book of the New Testament we've answered questions like what are the major themes of this book, what does this book teach us about God, what does this book teach us about ourselves, and so on. Today we're going to pose these questions about the whole of the New Testament so why not have somebody on who has written about every book of the New Testament. My guest today is Dr. Ben Witherington III, Amos Professor of New Testament for Doctoral Studies at Asbury Theological Seminary and author of over sixty books.

“Then I looked again, and I heard the voices of thousands and millions of angels around the throne and of the living beings and the elders. And they sang in a mighty chorus: ‘Worthy is the Lamb who was slaughtered - to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.' And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang: ‘Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the one sitting on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever.'” - Revelation 5:11-13Revelation, the final book of the Bible, and perhaps the most, “what am I to do with this?”. Revelation is known for its complexity, but, at its heart, is a beautiful message of hope, worship, and love. I'm going to be up front with you: if you are looking for insight and answers to all of the many elements of Revelation, this is not the podcast for you. We won't be talking about seals, beasts, dragons, the 144,00 - you know, what some people may call the greatest hits of Revelation. But, if you want to know how best to read the book, the message of the book, the heart of the book, how it ties into other parts of Scripture, and what this book teaches . . . this is the perfect podcast for you. When I was interviewing Craig Blombeck earlier in this series I asked him who I should have on for Revelation and he said, “Well you need Dave Mathewson, without a doubt.” So help us navigate the book of Revelation is Dr. David Mathewson, Associate Professor of New Testament at Denver Seminary and author of multiple books on Revelation.

“Dear friends, I am not writing a new commandment for you; rather it is an old one you have had from the very beginning. This old commandment - to love one another - is the same message you heard before. Yet it is also new. Jesus lived the truth of this commandment , and you also are living it. For the darkness is disappearing, and the true light is already shining.” 1 John 2:7-8John's epistles, 1, 2, and 3 John, are a beautiful extension from John's Gospel. John continues his central themes of abiding and living out the call to love one another while spending considerable time on a new theme: confidence in salvation. John talks a lot about sin, about false teachers, about issues of the heart - but he does all of this under the cloak of what it means to be a child of God, to be in fellowship with Jesus, and to love one another. To help us navigate John's letters is Dr. Gary Derickson, recently retired Professor Emeritus at Corban University and author of a commentary on John's letters.

“In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God's promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with patient endurance, and patient endurance with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love for everyone. The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.” 2 Peter 1:5-8I'm going to start with something obvious. 2 Peter and Jude aren't next to each other in the biblical order. So, why are these books so often linked? Wouldn't it make more sense to do 1 Peter and 2 Peter together? Our guest today does well to explain why these letters are linked but I'll spoil a little of it here because these letters hit hard on a similar theme: pursuing virtue. These are letters of encouragement - reminders to readers to be aware of false teachers and the trappings of the world and to focus steadfastly on the virtuous way of Christ. These letters are beautiful reminders of God's love for you as you continue to, quoting Peter, “make every effort to be found living peaceful lives that are pure and blameless in his sight.” To help us navigate 2 Peter and Jude is Peter Davids, retired Professor of Christianity at Houston Baptist University while also have taught at Regent College, Trinity School, and Canadian Theological Seminary and is author of a commentary on 2 Peter and Jude. Before we dive in with Peter, a quick note: When we recorded Peter was mid-move so his internet connection was a little spotty. I did my best to edit out lags but you'll notice a few lags here and there. Still, this was a wonderful conversation and primer on these books so I hope you enjoy.Doable Discipleship is a podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.Subscribe to the Doable Discipleship podcast at Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/doable-discipleship/id1240966935) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/1Zc9nuwQZOLadbFCZCmZ1V)Resources Related to This Episode: https://www.amazon.com/First-Epistle-International-Commentary-Testament/dp/0802825168Related Doable Discipleship Episodes:Navigating the Bible: 1 Peter - https://youtu.be/cMaL8uM0BIcNavigating the Bible: James - https://youtu.be/JVKfJqMj0ZkNavigating the Bible: Hebrews - https://youtu.be/8SUE_AUqYVsNavigating the Bible: Philemon - https://youtu.be/Bpx-1CVxfLwNavigating the Bible: Pastoral Epistles - https://youtu.be/4FHKBg9HHxcNavigating the Bible: 1 & 2 Thessalonians - https://youtu.be/d1X-noxGo4gNavigating the Bible: Colossians - https://youtu.be/-V_E8eSyJ54Navigating the Bible: Philippians - https://youtu.be/WOzz_E-F8AoNavigating the Bible: Ephesians - https://youtu.be/1HMX5ACIDUENavigating the Bible: Galatians - https://youtu.be/WV2Cu_wTe_gNavigating the Bible: 2 Corinthians - https://youtu.be/ZwaCL0Njfs4Navigating the Bible: 1 Corinthians - https://youtu.be/qqja13uz6BANavigating the Bible: Romans - https://youtu.be/KLh2yjIT7IMNavigating the Bible: Acts - https://youtu.be/p9ovQQUuX2ANavigating the Bible: John - https://youtu.be/VBovsFhP0i8Navigating the Bible: Luke - https://youtu.be/GqEnToBadPkNavigating the Bible: Mark - https://youtu.be/h1Hy9t1rbQkNavigating the Bible: Matthew - https://youtu.be/nZMtZXWx4lINavigating the Bible: Knowing God Through the Old Testament - https://youtu.be/UwWEadWpG-cNavigating the Bible: Nahum - https://youtu.be/PE96s4ra6qMNavigating the Bible: Micah - https://youtu.be/sq32a24vGpkNavigating the Bible: Jonah - https://youtu.be/Vh4VjS7RdhUNavigating the Bible: Daniel - https://youtu.be/v_F7CadyUUgNavigating the Bible: Ezekiel - https://youtu.be/Q0u4td1tYWANavigating the Bible: Ecclesiastes - https://youtu.be/226hY2qOr08Navigating the Bible: Proverbs - https://youtu.be/-5NJNmBc3bgNavigating the Bible: Psalms - https://youtu.be/sSB6thFWk2wNavigating the Bible: Job - https://youtu.be/AA1Q6cVWoqoNavigating the Bible: Esther - https://youtu.be/TkQtX8wtmbQNavigating the Bible: Nehemiah - https://youtu.be/zWR-5pSzk1cNavigating the Bible: 1 Kings - https://youtu.be/EQjzZ0lvLjoNavigating the Bible: 2 Samuel - https://youtu.be/9UOoIvfwXy0Navigating the Bible: 1 Samuel - https://youtu.be/kWKqWlB8pkENavigating the Bible: Joshua - https://youtu.be/5gldD5FM-wkNavigating the Bible: Deuteronomy - https://youtu.be/JidwMnYL51kNavigating the Bible: Numbers - https://youtu.be/V60gGr-9pHwNavigating the Bible: Leviticus - https://youtu.be/1-I-QdjB700Navigating the Bible: Exodus - https://youtu.be/1ELkgAlWFGgNavigating the Bible: Genesis - https://youtu.be/5zXHObysL6gInspiring Dreams by Keys of Moon | https://soundcloud.com/keysofmoonMusic promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
“All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance - an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay.” - 1 Peter 1:3-4After reading so many letters from Paul, a brief stop in Hebrews, and then a letter from James, we now get to hear from Peter. 1 Peter is a letter of hope - a letter of what it means to be called the family of God and to live that out. It's a letter of what it means to be a Christian, particularly being a Christian in a time of suffering and persecution. It's a letter about how to treat one another. It's a letter about identity, being both living stones and humble sheep. This letter is only five chapters long but it paints a beautiful picture of the Christian life. To help us navigate 1 Peter is Dr. Jeanine Brown, Professor of New Testament at Bethel Seminary and she is currently working on a commentary on 1 Peter. Jeanine was our guide through Matthew as well and I'm thrilled to have her back to take us through 1 Peter. Doable Discipleship is a podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

“What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don't show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, and you say, ‘Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well' - but then you don't give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do? So you see, faith by itself isn't enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless.” James 2:14-17I think many people probably fall into one of two camps about James: it's either one of their favorites or they bristle against it a little bit. This is because James does not pull any punches about what it means to live in a way that focuses and cares for other people. He says, “faith is dead without good works.” He says, “His actions made his faith complete.” He says, “I will show you my faith by my good deeds.” All of this is in the context of what James has to say about helping the poor, the widows and the orphans, and what he has to say about how we handle persecution and trials and what he has to say about how we speak. James is an in your face book in the best of ways.

“There were many priests under the old system, for death prevented them from remaining in office. But because Jesus lives forever, his priesthood lasts forever. Therefore he is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf.” - Hebrews 7:23-25The book of Hebrews is an interesting first step out of Paul's letters. In many ways, Hebrews may be even better read earlier in a New Testament reading because it has a heavy focus on Old Testament stories. Hebrews reads like a connector or bridge between Old and New Testaments while, at its heart, being a book of comfort - a book reminding of God's faithfulness; a book continuously pointing to Christ. To help us navigate the book of Hebrews is Dr. Amy Peeler, Professor of New Testament at Wheaton College and author of a commentary on Hebrews.

“I appeal to you to show kindness to my child, Onesimus . . . I wanted you to help because you were willing, not because you were forced . . . He is no longer like a slave to you. He is more than a slave, for he is a beloved brother, especially to me. Now he will mean much more to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord.” Philemon vs. 10, 14, and 16. The book of Philemon is unlike any of Paul's other letters. Or, perhaps I should say it this way, it is unlike any of Paul's other full letters. We've seen Paul admonish or encourage specific people amidst some of his other letters, but here we have a standalone letter from Paul to Philemon asking him a favor regarding Philemon's slave, Onesimus. This letter is important for many reasons as it teaches us from multiple different angles. What can we learn from what Paul is saying to Philemon? What can we learn from what Paul is saying about Onesimus? And what can we learn from how Paul says these things? It's a little letter but there's a lot to unpack, so to help us navigate the book of Philemon is Dr. Dennis Edwards, Vice President for Church Relations and Dean of the Seminary at North Park University in Chicago and author of the “Philemon” section of the The New Testament in Color multiethnic Bible commentary.Doable Discipleship is a podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.Subscribe to the Doable Discipleship podcast at Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/doable-discipleship/id1240966935) or Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/1Zc9nuwQZOLadbFCZCmZ1V)Resources Related to This Episode: https://www.amazon.com/New-Testament-Color-Multiethnic-Commentary/dp/0830814094Related Doable Discipleship Episodes:Navigating the Bible: Pastoral Epistles - https://youtu.be/4FHKBg9HHxcNavigating the Bible: 1 & 2 Thessalonians - https://youtu.be/d1X-noxGo4gNavigating the Bible: Colossians - https://youtu.be/-V_E8eSyJ54Navigating the Bible: Philippians - https://youtu.be/WOzz_E-F8AoNavigating the Bible: Ephesians - https://youtu.be/1HMX5ACIDUENavigating the Bible: Galatians - https://youtu.be/WV2Cu_wTe_gNavigating the Bible: 2 Corinthians - https://youtu.be/ZwaCL0Njfs4Navigating the Bible: 1 Corinthians - https://youtu.be/qqja13uz6BANavigating the Bible: Romans - https://youtu.be/KLh2yjIT7IMNavigating the Bible: Acts - https://youtu.be/p9ovQQUuX2ANavigating the Bible: John - https://youtu.be/VBovsFhP0i8Navigating the Bible: Luke - https://youtu.be/GqEnToBadPkNavigating the Bible: Mark - https://youtu.be/h1Hy9t1rbQkNavigating the Bible: Matthew - https://youtu.be/nZMtZXWx4lINavigating the Bible: Knowing God Through the Old Testament - https://youtu.be/UwWEadWpG-cNavigating the Bible: Malachi - https://youtu.be/CRVx-Ni0S-wNavigating the Bible: Habakkuk - https://youtu.be/3xfXFKBZRFgNavigating the Bible: Nahum - https://youtu.be/PE96s4ra6qMNavigating the Bible: Micah - https://youtu.be/sq32a24vGpkNavigating the Bible: Jonah - https://youtu.be/Vh4VjS7RdhUNavigating the Bible: Daniel - https://youtu.be/v_F7CadyUUgNavigating the Bible: Ezekiel - https://youtu.be/Q0u4td1tYWANavigating the Bible: Lamentations - https://youtu.be/3JArxJSekq0Navigating the Bible: Jeremiah - https://youtu.be/H8ZW6tnr4UcNavigating the Bible: Isaiah - https://youtu.be/yDhZAXFa8igNavigating the Bible: Song of Songs - https://youtu.be/09eruUCXMbMNavigating the Bible: Ecclesiastes - https://youtu.be/226hY2qOr08Navigating the Bible: Proverbs - https://youtu.be/-5NJNmBc3bgNavigating the Bible: Psalms - https://youtu.be/sSB6thFWk2wNavigating the Bible: Job - https://youtu.be/AA1Q6cVWoqoNavigating the Bible: Esther - https://youtu.be/TkQtX8wtmbQNavigating the Bible: Nehemiah - https://youtu.be/zWR-5pSzk1cNavigating the Bible: Ezra - https://youtu.be/23Sdch-pZK0Navigating the Bible: 2 Kings - https://youtu.be/vuCefx3wha0Navigating the Bible: 1 Kings - https://youtu.be/EQjzZ0lvLjoNavigating the Bible: 2 Samuel - https://youtu.be/9UOoIvfwXy0Navigating the Bible: 1 Samuel - https://youtu.be/kWKqWlB8pkENavigating the Bible: Ruth - https://youtu.be/shGuoDkiFkgNavigating the Bible: Judges - https://youtu.be/Sz6TL_w-gpcNavigating the Bible: Joshua - https://youtu.be/5gldD5FM-wkNavigating the Bible: Deuteronomy - https://youtu.be/JidwMnYL51kNavigating the Bible: Numbers - https://youtu.be/V60gGr-9pHwNavigating the Bible: Leviticus - https://youtu.be/1-I-QdjB700Navigating the Bible: Exodus - https://youtu.be/1ELkgAlWFGgNavigating the Bible: Genesis - https://youtu.be/5zXHObysL6gInspiring Dreams by Keys of Moon | https://soundcloud.com/keysofmoonMusic promoted by https://www.chosic.com/free-music/all/Creative Commons CC BY 4.0https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
“The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith. But some people have missed this whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time in meaningless discussions. They want to be known as teachers of the law of Moses, but they don't know what they are talking about, even though they speak so confidently.” - 1 Timothy 1:5-71 Timothy, 2 Timothy, and Titus are often called the Pastoral Epistles and it's not too hard to see why. These are letters Paul is writing to his brothers in the faith, Timothy and Titus and right away you see they read differently than the other Pauline letters we've been focused on. In the previous letters, Paul was writing to churches - encouraging his church plants as they continue to grow and do ministry without him. In these letters, Paul is mentoring Timothy and Titus in a beautiful way as they minister and the truths he anchors in are still perfectly relevant to us today. To help us navigate the Pastoral Epistles is Dr. Robert Yarbrough, Professor of New Testament at Covenant Theological Seminary and author of a commentary on the Pastoral Epistles.

“So we keep on praying for you, asking our God to enable you to live a life worthy of his call. May he give you the power to accomplish all the good things your faith prompts you to do. Then the name of our Lord Jesus will be honored because of the way you live, and you will be honored along with him. This is all made possible because of the grace of our God and Lord, Jesus Christ.” - 2 Thessalonians 1:11-121 and 2 Thessalonians, besides being perhaps the hardest books to say, is a fascinating look at some of Paul's earliest letters in his ministry journeys. For these letters, as we'll see from our conversation today, context is highly important because Paul is writing to a new church, new Christians, living in Macedonia during the Roman empire. So as you read these letters, you see Paul showing love and care for a new congregation - answering questions and speaking to issues that were incredibly relevant to their context. But as we've said many times, these letters were written to that church, but they are still for us. So how do the themes Paul presents in these letters of remembering, persecution, encouragement, hope and more speak to the Thessalonians and for us? And what is to be done with 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 and the man of lawlessness? To help us navigate 1 and 2 Thessalonians is Dr. Gene Green, recently Dean of Trinity International University in Florida and Professor Emeritus of New Testament at Wheaton College, and author of a commentary on Thessalonians.Doable Discipleship is a podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

“So we have not stopped praying for you since we first heard about you. We ask God to give you complete knowledge of his will and to give you spiritual wisdom and understanding. Then the way you live will always honor and please the Lord, and your lives will produce every kind of good fruit. All the while, you will grow as you learn to know God better and better.” - Colossians 1:9-10Colossians, to me, seems a bit like a hidden gem amongst the Epistles. It doesn't have the heft of Romans or the well-known passages like Corinthians. It doesn't seem to be as popular to read as Galatians, Ephesians or Philippians. It kind of feels like when you're told we're going to be studying Colossians it's met with a . . . yay . . .. But when I went back into Colossians to prepare for this episode, I was surprised to see just how many notes and underlines and whatnot I had made the last time I went through the book. Pound for pound it might be my most underlined Epistle by percentage. Paul's letter to the Colossians is focused on what it truly means to live in the new life - to live in the way of Christ. To help us navigate Colossians today is Dr. Greg Beale, Professor of New Testament and Biblical Theology at Reformed Theological Seminary and author of many books including a commentary on Colossians.Doable Discipleship is a podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

“And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice all you learned and received from me - everything you heard from me and saw me doing. Then the God of peace will be with you.” - Philippians 4:8-9I think Philippians has a special place in a lot of people's hearts. This letter from Paul just tends to bring a smile to people. And I think that's for a couple of reasons. One: it's a book about joy. Paul mentions a few times to rejoice or that he rejoices and that talk about joy just tends to perk you up. Second: It's a book of encouragement. Paul continuously points the readers back towards Christ and, in the NLT at least, the section heads include: “Paul's Joy is that Christ is Preached,” “Have the Attitude of Christ,” “Shine Brightly for Christ,” and “The Priceless Value of Knowing Christ.” Pretty focused and encouraging if I do say so myself. To guide us through Philippians today is Dr. Matthew Harmon, Professor of New Testament Studies at Grace College and Theological Seminary and author of a commentary on Philippians.

“God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.” Ephesians 2:8-10Ephesians is, in my view, quite popular right now. There have been a number of new books out recently focused on Ephesians and I've seen many churches preaching on the book lately. I would say it as Ephesians is having a moment right now. So what is it about Ephesians that is drawing this attention lately? My guest and I discuss this question in this conversation, but it's worth noting that Ephesians is about union with Christ, the power of the Spirit, growing in Christlikeness, and unity in the church. Ephesians is a remarkable letter highlighting so many truths for the church to continue to go back to again and again. To help us navigate Ephesians is Dr. Constantine Campbell, Professor of Biblical Studies and Research Director at Australian University College of Divinity. Dr. Campbell has written many books including a commentary on Ephesians. He also teaches jazz performance and saxophone at the Australian National University School of Music so I made sure to ask him about the relationship between Jazz and Ephesians.

“Don't be misled - you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant. Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit. So let's not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don't give up.” Galatians 6:7-9Paul's letter to the Galatians is an early treatise on justification by faith, not by works. Over and over again in this letter the apostle Paul is teaching and reminding us that the law is not what saves us - faith in Christ is what saves. Paul addresses this topic from many different angles, highlighting this truth in many different ways. So our guest today is here to navigate why this was so important. Why is Paul focusing-in on this message so much and what other themes is Paul pointing to in this letter? To help us navigate the book of Galatians is Dr. Jarvis Williams, Professor of New Testament Interpretation at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, author of a newly released book on Romans, and author of many books and a commentary on Galatians.Doable Discipleship is a podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

In Week 3 of Discipleship 103 we continued our series on "How To Study The Bible" by learning about the "The Interpretive Journey," a 4-step process to biblical interpretation including: 1) Grasp The Text In Their Town; 2) Measure The Width of the River To Cross; 3) Cross The Principlizing Bridge; 4) Apply The Text In Our Town. After this, in preparation for studying the "Fruit of the Spirit," we placed the class in four groups and challenged them to study specific verses in Galatians and use the various resources (commentaries, bible handbooks, etc) to discover the CONTEXT of the verses. Finally, we provided an overview of the epistle of Galatians to help our students understand the immediate context of the discussion of "Fruits of the Spirit," in light of the larger context of Paul's writing to the Galatians. NOTE: From the 36:54 - 1:02:27 mark we are in breakout rooms so there is no recording during that time. This series is designed to help Christian disciples learn how to read and study the bible in its proper historical, cultural, geographical, linguistic and literary context.

Come Follow Me New Testament Bible Galatians In Paul's most shocking epistle, he tells James, Peter, John, and the twelve apostles to cut off their private parts. He then says that he does not care who James, Peter, and John are. Next, he excoriates Peter in front of the whole congregation in Antioch for being a hypocrite. On the positive side, Paul continues to teach the death, resurrection, and atonement of Jesus Christ. He also continues his assault on the false forms of Christianity that we today call "protestantism" and "evangelicalism."

The Bible. It's weird. It's hard. It's confusing. Many people try to claim they have an understanding or interpretation that will make your life better. I've have a complicated relationship with it myself, and over the last ten years I've haven't been able to engage with it at all. About 6 months ago I started to read it. I started to listen to what's behind the words. I'm starting a new series call Secrets of the Bible. No I'm not going to teach you how to decode the bible so you know exactly when Jesus is coming back or some other weird stuff. I want to share my heart in what I read. So I invite you to listen, like really listen and see if there is something inspired within you from these ancient texts. Please understand I'm not trying to "teach" anything. You get to decide if this resonates with your soul. If something comes up for you, reach out! I alway desire to hear what others are learning.

On this episode of Geek with a Bible, we learn what it means that our relationship with Christ is based on the promise. We also look at how this idea stacks against the most terrifying scripture in the Bible. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Galatians will rock your world. Pastor Nathaniel Wall leads our conversation today, dispelling any myth that your good performance before God will get you to Heaven. And the key word today isn't "performance," isn't "good deeds," and isn't even "be nice." The word is FREEDOM! Can you say, "Awesome!"
Catechism Lesson #10 - The Virtues and Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Today we continue our lessons about the teachings of the Catholic Church. In our last lesson we talked about the Holy Spirit and the grace that we receive from prayer, the Sacraments, and from the Holy Eucharist. Today, we're going to talk about the Virtues and the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. We all have problems or challenges that we have to deal with. We may have issues with school, homework, friends, family, and many other things in this world. The Holy Spirit is there to give you strength and to help you carry your cross. Here are the questions that I would like you to think about during this lesson. 1. Who sends the Holy Spirit into our hearts? 2. What does He fill us with? 3. How does He teach us to love the Father? 4. How does the Holy Spirit change us? 5. What do we have to be willing to do in order for Him to be able to change you? The Catholic Church leaders put together all the books of the Old Testament and the New Testament around 300 a.d.. They were guided by the Holy Spirit to choose all the books and only the books that make up the Holy Bible. Some people actually think the Bible fell from the sky. It was actually the Catholic Church, with the help of the Holy Spirit, that gave us the Holy Bible. First Reading: Romans chapter 8: 14-17. In our last lesson, I told you that one of the symbols of the Holy Spirit was wind or the Breath of God. God has breathed his life into each one of us to make us his children. I think it's great to be one of God's children. That means that his home in heaven is now open to be our home. Thankfully, we get to enjoy many of the great things here on Earth during our life. There are many beautiful and wonderful things in this life. There are also things that give us hurt and heartache. Those things that are hard for us to deal with are called our crosses. Just like Jesus had to carry that very heavy cross in Jerusalem, you and I have to carry our own crosses every day. I know, your crosses can be very heavy to carry at times. The holy spirit is right there to help you deal with your cross and to help you carry your cross. If you carry your cross and are having a hard time with one of your crosses, take a minute to pray to the Holy Spirit for some extra strength and more faith. He will give you extra strength. When Jesus carried his cross, it was the most beautiful act of love anyone could ever do for you or me. We can also carry our crosses with love for those in our life. The powers of the Holy Spirit will make your soul stronger. They are like muscles in your soul. The main three powers that we get from the Holy Spirit are faith, hope, and charity. These are called the Three Virtues. God also gave us seven special gifts that we call the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit. These gifts are indeed very special. We were given the three virtues and the Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit when we were baptized. That's also when we received sanctifying Grace. Faith is the virtue that we are given that allows us to believe the word of God and everything that he has revealed to us directly, through scripture, and through the Church. Hope is the second virtue. Hope simply means that you can always trust God to care for you and all your needs. Sometimes you may feel overwhelmed, but hope is always with you. You just have to remember to call on it to help you. Please always keep hope. Charity is the third virtue. Charity is the love of God that you give from your heart to another person, especially when they really need your help. The Seven Gifts of the Holy Spirit will help you live a better life, and a more holy life. The gifts of the Holy Spirit are: wisdom, understanding, counsel, fortitude, knowledge, piety, and fear of the Lord.

Continuing from last week, we dive further into this issue of how to think about who's in and who's out. And this week, we see Paul going ballistic on his church that didn't go in the direction he wanted. How do we modern Christians make any sense of this book of the Bible?
This is our third episode in an arc on Spiritual Development. We look closer at Stages II and III of M. Scott Peck's Stages of Faith, and how we can navigate tensions to this journey moving towards union with God. It's important to evaluate what part of Christianity we try to protect out of fear. Our goal: "Life in the Spirit" (see Romans 8) meaning to move into union with God. Our guest music today is: Feel Your Love, by Still Spoken You can find it on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/3wWxnAjCikcl6Ug9Fymr09 Reminder of the M. Scott Peck's Stages of Faith: Stage I: Chaotic, Antisocial Stage II: Formal, Institutional, Fundamental Stage III: Skeptic, Individual, Questioner Stage IV: Mystic, Communal Part of the dark side of stage 2 is high boundaries, but because of fear, there's no openness to tension. Sermon on the Mount reference re: murder, adultery and divorce: Matthew 5:21 Jesus is moving the focus of spirituality out of the rules into the center of our heart, where we need God to be transformed. If faith is not marked with compassion, and is not moving you towards openness in God, then it'll become religious and legalistic. The point of healthy boundaries is to lead you into LIFE. Recommended podcast on Jewish & Hebrew culture: "Stuff Jews Should Know." Examples of Stage II to Stage III transitions in the Bible: -Galatians 6: Paul reframing the importance of circumcision vs. being transformed into a new creation through Jesus Christ. -Peter having a vision about allowing "unclean" foods to be eaten. (Acts 10:9-16) -Jesus breaking sabbath laws with healing, eating grain, etc. This transition is usually a result of suffering. These "rules" or the way that God and the world make sense based on religion until suffering happens in life, and the rules stop making sense. Matthew 12:1 A Discussion about the Sabbath 12 At about that time Jesus was walking through some grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, so they began breaking off some heads of grain and eating them. 2 But some Pharisees saw them do it and protested, “Look, your disciples are breaking the law by harvesting grain on the Sabbath.” 3 Jesus said to them, “Haven't you read in the Scriptures what David did when he and his companions were hungry? 4 He went into the house of God, and he and his companions broke the law by eating the sacred loaves of bread that only the priests are allowed to eat. 5 And haven't you read in the law of Moses that the priests on duty in the Temple may work on the Sabbath? 6 I tell you, there is one here who is even greater than the Temple! 7 But you would not have condemned my innocent disciples if you knew the meaning of this Scripture: ‘I want you to show mercy, not offer sacrifices.'[a] 8 For the Son of Man[b] is Lord, even over the Sabbath!” Development is a process of maturing over time, through life stages. We can get stuck in different development stages, and never move past them. From the therapeutic perspective: Looking at the amygdala + limbic system, the amygdala triggers "fight or flight" in our reactions. Even though in our current culture, our lives are rarely threatened day to day, we'll continue to experience life day to day as "threatening." "Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." Viktor E.

This calm Christian meditation with Biblical Affirmations is from the Free Christian Guided Meditations Library at https://onlinediscipleshipforwomen.com/christian-guided-meditation/ and will guide you through the journey of realizing how special and precious you are to God. You need to know that you are powerful, valuable, special, chosen, and unique on purpose. You are loved and accepted. Your life matters. Your ideas count. You are perfect just the way you are. All affirmations are original. 1. You Are A Child Of God. Bible: Galatians 3:26 says “So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith” Think about this for a moment. How precious you are to God, your Heavenly Father. He loves you so much that He made you new through Jesus, so you can have a life of joy, freedom, and honor. 2. You Are A Princess. Bible: Psalm 136:26 says “Give thanks to the God of heaven. His love endures forever.‘ God's love for you endures forever. You are loved, forever. Romans 15:7 says “Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you” Jesus accepted you. You are accepted. 1 Corinthians 6:11 says “...you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” You are justified. You are sanctified. You are a daughter of the King, our Sovereign God. Think about how significant it is to know that your sin and your faults have all been washed away. You are new. You are sanctified. How do you feel knowing that you are a daughter of the King? You are a Princess. Royalty. King's heir. Your inheritance is God's Kingdom. Nothing can take away your confidence in this truth: you are a Princess. Nothing can separate you from the everlasting love of God. You are loved. You are accepted. You are worthy. You are a child of God. 3. You Are Fearfully And Wonderfully Made. Bible: Psalm 139:14 says “I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful‘ Ephesians 2:10 says “For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus” You are wonderful. You are made in the image of God Himself. Everything about you He created. Every aspect of you is a masterpiece. You are whole. You are God's perfect creation. Think about how special you are to God. How perfectly He made you. There's no one like you. You are one of a kind. A masterpiece. You are perfect. 4. You Are God's Glory On Display. Bible: John 13:31-32 says “... Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified and God is glorified in him. If God is glorified in him, God will glorify the Son in himself, and will glorify him at once.” Think about how much God is pleased with you. Your life is for His glory and honor. God is glorified because of who you are. 5. You Are Worthy. Bible: Galatians 2:20 says “I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Think about how worthy you are that now Christ Himself lives in you. There's no need to feel guilt, shame, self-condemnation, or self-hatred. You are a new creation in Christ. You are blameless. You are pure. All your debt has been paid by Jesus. You are holy. 6. You Are Valuable. Bible: Luke 12:7 says “Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not - you are of more value than many sparrows.” Think about how much God must appreciate and value you to count all your hair. This message shows how God dedicates His undivided personal attention to you. He takes time to learn every little detail about you. You are that valuable to God. Romans 8:2 says “because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.” Think about how sin is no longer your master. The Holy Spirit who lives in you after you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior gives you all the power you need to declare complete freedom from sin. You are free. Matthew 5:16 says “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.“ Think about how you can shine more light in the world. You are light. 7. You Are Special And Chosen. Bible: Genesis 2:7 says “Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” 1 Thessalonians 1:4 says “For we know, brothers and sisters loved by God, that he has chosen you” 1 Peter 2:9 says “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.” Think about how much God wanted you that He made you so unique. God created you out of nothingness - to be. You are that special. God chose you. He has a purpose for you. He made you so precious. He made you His child, a Princess, with a royal privilege of having a purpose. You matter. You make a difference. You are important. 8. You Are A Difference-Maker. Bible: Ephesians 2:10 says “For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Think about the purpose of your life, your mission here, your ministry in the community, your impact on people, and what positive difference you make. You make a difference. The world is a better place because of you. You are here for a good reason. God has a mission for you. 9. You Are Gifted. Bible: Romans 6:23 says “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Think about the special gift of eternal life you received from God. Your life will go on and on. You will be forever. Allow yourself to experience gratitude right now. 10. You Are Creative. Bible: Exodus 35:31 says “and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills” Think about your special skills, talents, and abilities. Your ideas are very creative. Your ideas are great. Your ideas matter. You have wisdom, knowledge, and understanding to make an impact. Your ideas are effective. Your ideas are powerful. 11. You Are Wise. Bible: Isaiah 11:2 says “The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him, the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord.” Think about the wisdom of God available to you at all times. You have good discernment. The Holy Spirit in you gives you wisdom. In any situation, you just ask, and you shall receive wisdom from your counsel who is God Himself. All-knowing. With infinite intelligence. Romans 5:3-5 says “Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance - character, and character - hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.” Think about how much pain you're persevered through in life. That perseverance produced your character. Your character is what gives hope to others around you. When people see what you've been through and whom you've become, the child of God, His glory, it gives them hope. 12. You Are Powerful. Bible: Acts 1:8 says “you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you.” Philippians 4:13 says “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.“ Think about the power you have through Christ. Never doubt yourself. You want to go to the best school to study for your dream career? You can. You want to be a CEO on a global enterprise? You can. You want to speak in front of thousands of people with your special message? You can. You want to learn new skills? You can. You want to be kind and patient? You can. You want to be loving and compassionate? You an. 13. You Are Strong And Courageous. Bible: Joshua 1:9 says “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Think about this truth about you. God commands you to be courageous. In every situation, you can declare this truth: God will be with you wherever you go. You are strong and courageous in Christ. 14. You Are Blessed. Bible: Psalm 32:1 says “Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.” | Think about the new identity you have in Christ. Your debt is paid. Your sin is forgiven. You are new, redeemed, holy, and God calls you blessed. Ephesians 1:3 says “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.” Think about being consistently called “blessed” throughout the Bible. Count your blessings. Make it a habit to intentionally feel blessed daily. Start a ‘gratitude journal“ and write just a few things there regularly. The things you consider blessings, like health, clean drinking water, plenty of food, close friendships, and even this device you're listening the mediation on right now. You have so many blessings. Count them. Don't let the day go by without pausing to realize how blessed you are. The biggest blessing of all is your eternal life with Jesus in Heaven. What a blessing to have such certainty about your future. You never have to wonder. You never have to guess. You know for sure about your future. 15. You Are Loved. Bible: John 3:16 says “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” Think about how loved you are that God sent Jesus to redeem you from any sin, fault, debt, and to set you free. You are loved. Unconditionally. Romans 5:8 says “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Think about God's unconditional love toward you. He doesn't require you to change. He asks you: come as you are. He sent Christ to show His love for you, with no conditions. God's love is yours. Nothing you need to do to deserve this love, to earn it, to win it. You are loved already. Just the way you are. Right now. You are fully loved already by your Heavenly Father, forever, for eternity. All affirmations are original from https://onlinediscipleshipforwomen.com/god
About this episode Out in theaters right now is Fifty Shades Darker, the second film based on Fifty Shades series. These novels have spurred a lot of conversation and questions about erotica. And we’re going to address that topic head-on. 1. Why do you think so many wives have been drawn to erotic romance stories? What about this genre appeals to them? 2. I've had wives tell me that reading these novels awakened their sexual desire. What’s wrong with that? Isn't that ultimately good for the sexual intimacy in their marriage? 3. Some say that these erotic stories are no different from porn, and others say they’re no different from romance novels. What do you think about either or both of those charges? How are they the same or different? 4. Let’s get practical: What is okay and what’s not okay in the world of BDSM? 5. What are your own greatest concerns about the Fifty Shades phenomenon? From the Bible Galatians 5:22-23: "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law." Colossians 3:19: "Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them." 1 Corinthians 10:23: "'Everything is permissible,' but not everything is helpful. 'Everything is permissible,' but not everything builds up." (HSCB) Resources The Forgiven Wife: A Shaded View of Romance The Forgiven Wife: Are Romance Novels Okay for Christian Women?
